These facts are quite random which does mean that I do not have a specific structure to my cards but I do think that this adds to the concept as they are meant to be interesting facts that maybe people do not need to see but would find interesting. I did not know any of these facts before I started this task which means that I, in a way, acted as my audience for a time. The people I have told these facts were very surprised which was my intention.
