This is a question Useless Information

Did 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.

Nosemonkey:
Only the 'ne' bit means 'isn't it?'. The desu part is the verb 'to be'.

EG:
"Tenki ga samuii desu" - The weather is cold

"Tenki ga samuii desu ne?" - The weather is cold, isn't it? \ The weather is cold, don't you think?

The part about them all coming from London is true though, whereas the Chinese come from Canton in Cardiff...
