New Faulktoids

(From Mike Bibby) YouÂ’ve got me thinking about factoids and your definition of them. Perhaps we should have the converse – the “fictoid” – which everyone refuses to believe, yet is actually true (or probably is).
Take the “fict” that Osama Bin Laden used to support Arsenal – a British soccer team. Or that Russia applied to be a founder member of NATO.

In addition, I think you should define “frictoids.” These are “factoids” or “fictoids” that inevitably start heated debate, especially in chat rooms. For example: the US gives 0.1% of its GDP to aid, less than any other developed country. Or that it's been scientifically proven that women canÂ’t park properly. ThereÂ’s also room for “fantoids” – things that arenÂ’t true but that we wish were. I leave the definition of “foktoids” to your own imagination…
