1. Bruce Springsteen lost a foot to an alligator

He’s been secretly wearing a prosthetic foot for 40 years.

16. I've been also trying to confirm or debunk this little known fact.

So far, I've found that if Bruce Springsteen does have a prosthetic foot, it's extremely realistic. I also happened to notice the photos of him sporting 2 different types of orange swim trunks, there's a slight dark square patch on his left leg, although it's not there on other beach days.

Have you ever looked at his foot?

[MatthewHatesTrump2]

20. Okay

It is an extremely little known fact.

It is so little known that I might be the only one who knows it.

I’m not even sure Bruce Springsteen knows it, because his mind blocks it out as a psychological defense mechanism.

It’s the same way that Priyanka Chopra keeps forgetting that we’re married.

5. Ty Cobb wasn't really a total prick...

...at least, not all the time. Two recent biographies have, to some extent, rehabilitated his reputation. He actually went out of his way to be kind to people, including black people, when he could. It was when he was backed into a corner that he bared his fangs. This actually happened a lot, especially on the ball field. But the rest of the time, he wasn't a bad guy at all.
