The closest planet to Earth is Mercury.
On average that is. Mercury is actually the closest planet to every other planet in average. Because when it’s on the other side of the Sun, it’s still pretty close.
That I cleaned the house (according to my fiance at least)
Russia is actually pretty small and it almost fits inside Africa. Try it out: https://www.thetruesize.com/

Most people have more than the average number of legs.
The average person has one fallopian tube
"The average person has… " is very different from “People on average have…”.
I suspect you meant the second, but sometimes people truly mean the first.
The difference doesn’t matter until it very suddenly matters. 😉
I was actually quoting Bo Burnham, it’s a direct quote from his 2010 special Words Words Words
I didn’t know the specific reference (I haven’t seen that special yet, so thanks for mentioning it), but I recognize the joke structure.
You should definitely watch it! It’s a little rough around the edges because he was only 19 when he wrote and performed it, but it’s also extremely impressive because he was only 19 when he wrote and performed it.
