A day on Venus is longer than a year on Venus!

I found this mind-boggling fact: a day on Venus (how long it takes to spin on its axis) is actually longer than a year on Venus (how long it takes to orbit the sun)! It takes about 243 Earth days for Venus to rotate once but only about 225 Earth days to complete its orbit. Can you imagine what life on Venus must be like? Anyone else know of other weird planetary facts like this?
