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.

Thanksgiving.

An official thankyou-ceremony to the Indians (native americans in modern political correctness-speak) for saving the bible-bashing/land-stealing immigrant's arses when they failed to understand the implications of "cold weather"

The next step in the process of thanks was to slaughter most of them, destroy thier homes, and banish them to a few reserves where they were to be treated like animals in a zoo*

As Lister says...
Sir I Newton did indeed dye a virgin. Her name was Betty Franlington and he dyed her red. This was to commemorate the apple falling on his head, which happened just the year before.

There was a parade in his honour, and people dyed themselves apple colours and danced in the street. However Betty was the only one of the dancers to be dyed my Sir Newton himself.

1991... there were 22,000 (known) murders in the US, and around 500 in the UK.
With populations taken into account, you're Eleven times more likely to be murdered in the US.

Found this on a packet of crisps the other day
Most pirates had 2 good eyes, but they would keep one eye covered so it would be more sensitive to light. This would mean at night they would be able to navigate using the little light there was. This knowledge is still taught to soldiers for use on secret special missions at night.

remote door locking for cars
You can increase the range of most remote car lockers by about 3 times if you push the clicker into the base of your chin then clicking (as though you were going to bite the big one). Something to do with the shape of your skull concentrating the beems from the clicker. I tried it, it works.

Shape of France in le hamburger
If you take a bite out of a hamburger so that no edge of the bun remains intact you will find a pretty good map of France. Take another bite, and then another and you will find that each time you will still get a France-shaped burger bit. Don't believe me - try it.

n00b warning
yeah me first timer
oh a useless fact. wait, i can do it... hnggg..

Both koalas and wombats have hard pads on their arse regions. The koala uses it to sit on. The wombat uses it to block the entrance to its hole (not that hole you sick freaks). When, say, a dingo tries to eat out the wombats burrow the wombat can crush the dingo's skull between the roof of its burrow and its arsepad. What a way to go.

I'm sorry. Thats actually a useful fact: Never stick your head in a wombat burrow. I'll leave.

It's a skin thing................
Ever wondered why skins seem stickier at certain times of the year, and at other times they don't stick for shit?

Well, it's the same reason that potatoes, when being fried for chips, go a lovely golden brown dead easy at certain times of the year, but at other times of the year will become totally fossilised in oil rather than go brown at all.........

It's all about sugar content. During the summery months that whatever trees are used for skins and the gum grow, they have a high sugar content, making the gum nice and sticky. MmMmmmm........

If the trees used for the skins and gum have been murdered when the sun's not about, their sugar content is low, making them annoying at best, and at worst, the reason why your girlfriend won't let you skin up any more in the lounge, what with the mess of failed doobs all over the carpet.

Same fur chips an that. High sugar content, nice Strangler-like golden brown fries. Low sugar content, peely wally as, but suitable for diabetics, and veggies, and blind people I guess.........

Woo hoo, first post.

Whassat I hear? A trumpet?

Oh, last post........... :-/

The instant
One of these facts (true or not) becomes repeated in conversation - either to make oneself appear cleverer or to try and impress a member of the opposite sex - it renders the entry invalid, as it will become useful information.
