Apropos of nothing at all, today I learned that whale sharks have teeth on their eyeballs. These aren't the teeth they eat with; rather, they protect the sharks' eyeballs.
By "apropos of nothing," I mean that this was a random cool thought dropped into a meta-conversation about making social conversation, and the "chaos goblin" approach of stating something weird and cool like that, rather than answering "how are you?" either with something like "fine" or "could be worse" or with something like "I went to the beach yesterday" or "I just read a good mystery novel" as a mild conversation-starter.
The person who suggested this said that you'd either get into some kind of weird but interesting conversation, or they would decide you were the wrong sort of weird and you'd each look for someone else to talk to.
