Useless InformationDid you know that crabs wee through their eyes? That maidenhair moss is so called because Anglo-saxons thought it looked like pubes? That Albanians have 17 different words for moustache? Astound us with your utterly useless and obscure knowledge.

dark matterdidn't (initially) have anything to do with the age of the universe: it was discovered because you can weigh a galaxy (by seeing how fast it rotates), and when astronomers added up all the visible gas and dust (and stars), it didn't nearly account for the observed mass.
on a similar note, roughly 10,000,000,000,000 neutrinos go through your body every second.
