Since when has the term factoid become so accepted? Since we decided that sound bytes were enough to encompass all that there is to know about a subject? Since songs were shortened for air play on radio stations? Since bumper stickers now sum up great works of philosophy?
Having asked the question, I do like the summary statements that stick in your brain. The factoids of life!
Like — “By perseverance even the snail made it to the ark.” (Spurgeon)
Any others?
