Rather than just complain, I should add my own facts. The ghosts in Pacman were never intended to be ghosts and are known in the original Japanese version as monsters. The US state of Maine is closer to Africa than Florida is. In parts the Congo River is over 720 feet deep. The world's second largest maker of cymbals is founded by the brother of the man who founded the largest (after the brother was not made CEO of the original company, they clashed). The song "Maniac", heard in the 80s film Flashdance, originally had the lyrics "he'll kill your cat and nail it to the floor". Until the 7th century AD, Latin and Greek were usually written without spaces between words in a continuous line. The vermillion border is the name for the line separating the lip from the surrounding skin. In 1998 baseballer Sammy Sosa held the single season home run record for 43 minutes. In 2003, skater Lucinda Ruh almost doubled a previous record by doing 115 continuous spins on one foot. The steam whistle was introduced to US trains by a man, appropriately called George Washington Whistler. He isn't as famous as his wife who is depicted in the painting known as Whistler's Mother. Australian singer Amethyst Amelia Kelly renamed herself after her dog and the street her mother lived on, becoming Iggy Azalea. "Jazz" is generally regarded as the hardest four letter word to get in a game of Hangman. Despite only being 24 sq miles, San Marino won three medals at the 2020 Olympics. On Christmas Day 2021, the bank Santander accidentally deposited money into the accounts of 750,000 UK customers totalling £130 million (178 million USD).

Many things rhyme with silver (sliver, shiver, liver, quiver, etc). Technically speaking a rhyme is when the final stressed vowel and all following sounds are identical in two words; however, we can be more pedantic that this. Perfect Rhyme, which can be described by the location of the stressed vowel (single, double, dactylic); and General Rhyme, of which there are nearly a dozen varieties, namely: syllabic, imperfect, near, semi, and forced. Under the definition of "perfect rhyme" the "fact" that silver has no rhyme is technically true, along with words such as orange, purple, month, ninth, pint, wolf, opus, dangerous, marathon, and discombobulate. But, under the definition(s) of "general rhyme" all of those aforementioned words can find their rhymes. I would hate to discombobulate But I've heard this fact of rhyme many a time I could type a marathon, and a ton 'til I'm purple and hirple cry wolf or bluff, if you must but 'tis dangerous to disregard my opus while I'm rhyming orange with range in my grange, my dog doesn't have mange my plinth wasn't built in a month now the ninth, cutting like a scythe at last have a pint, I'll take mine with mint.

Rather than just complain, I should add my own facts. The ghosts in Pacman were never intended to be ghosts and are known in the original Japanese version as monsters. The US state of Maine is closer to Africa than Florida is. In parts the Congo River is over 720 feet deep. The world's second largest maker of cymbals is founded by the brother of the man who founded the largest (after the brother was not made CEO of the original company, they clashed). The song "Maniac", heard in the 80s film Flashdance, originally had the lyrics "he'll kill your cat and nail it to the floor". Until the 7th century AD, Latin and Greek were usually written without spaces between words in a continuous line. The vermillion border is the name for the line separating the lip from the surrounding skin. In 1998 baseballer Sammy Sosa held the single season home run record for 43 minutes. In 2003, skater Lucinda Ruh almost doubled a previous record by doing 115 continuous spins on one foot. The steam whistle was introduced to US trains by a man, appropriately called George Washington Whistler. He isn't as famous as his wife who is depicted in the painting known as Whistler's Mother. Australian singer Amethyst Amelia Kelly renamed herself after her dog and the street her mother lived on, becoming Iggy Azalea. "Jazz" is generally regarded as the hardest four letter word to get in a game of Hangman. Despite only being 24 sq miles, San Marino won three medals at the 2020 Olympics. On Christmas Day 2021, the bank Santander accidentally deposited money into the accounts of 750,000 UK customers totalling £130 million (178 million USD).

Many things rhyme with silver (sliver, shiver, liver, quiver, etc). Technically speaking a rhyme is when the final stressed vowel and all following sounds are identical in two words; however, we can be more pedantic that this. Perfect Rhyme, which can be described by the location of the stressed vowel (single, double, dactylic); and General Rhyme, of which there are nearly a dozen varieties, namely: syllabic, imperfect, near, semi, and forced. Under the definition of "perfect rhyme" the "fact" that silver has no rhyme is technically true, along with words such as orange, purple, month, ninth, pint, wolf, opus, dangerous, marathon, and discombobulate. But, under the definition(s) of "general rhyme" all of those aforementioned words can find their rhymes. I would hate to discombobulate But I've heard this fact of rhyme many a time I could type a marathon, and a ton 'til I'm purple and hirple cry wolf or bluff, if you must but 'tis dangerous to disregard my opus while I'm rhyming orange with range in my grange, my dog doesn't have mange my plinth wasn't built in a month now the ninth, cutting like a scythe at last have a pint, I'll take mine with mint.
