Really? I'd like to see some proof on that. I googled it and couldn't find anything. Can anyone help dig this up?

I didn't say any of it was fact. I got these out of "The Book of Useless Information" which I got for Christmas. I'm about 50 pages into it and these are the ones I found most interesting (or funny). Here's a link reaffirming this claim:

I think Attila the Hun was only speculated as being a dwarf. I didn't research it before I posted it. Supposedly, it was mentioned in "The Encyclopedia of Amazing and Fascinating Facts"... however reputable that is.

Also, if sharks stop swimming they'll die because for their gills to work, they have to have water flowing through them.
