27. An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain (I know some people like this).
Well, I heard from Dr. Duke, the ostrich researcher, and he wrote:
The Ostrich eye is about the same size as the human eye and is the largest
eye relative to body size of any vertabrate. The brain is slightly bigger
than the eye.

So factoid #27 is fiction, according to Dr. Duke.
What's our count? It would be good to read how many dragons we've slain.
