[[Randall]] sometimes includes the words ''facts'' (or fact) in his comics. This is when the facts are not very fun, because in those cases he would have used [[:Category:Fun fact|Fun fact]] instead. See more about facts in the link.

*There were, at the time of creation of this page, three comics with "facts" in the title.
**But also at least two others with a fact in the text!
**The last of these was the latest comic at the time of creation of this category, [[2564: Sunshield]], which had an Astronomy fact. And was the reason for the creation of this category.
**The next fact comic, [[2596: Galaxies]], also had an Astronomy fact, the first time a fact has been repeated, other than within the Fun Fact context. A third Astronomy fact appeared in [[3156: Planetary Rings]].
*This category is reminiscent of [[:Category:Tips]], which was created after the [[:Category:Protip]] in similar way. The grouping of each [[:Category:Fun fact]] is much older than this, although the two older and more specific categories are now subcatagories of the newer umbrella terms.
**He has also given info on [[:Category:How to annoy|How to annoy]] people, which is very similar to some facts comics.
*So far there have been the following specific Fact subjects:
#[[1186: Bumblebees|Science Fact]]
#[[1398: Snake Facts|Snake Facts]]
#[[1930: Calendar Facts|Calendar Facts]]
#[[1933: Santa Facts|Santa Facts]]
