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.

Naked LunchThe 'William Tell' scene in the film of 'The Naked Lunch' where Bill Lee attempts to shoot a glass off his wife's head but ends up shooting her between the eyes in based in fact.
William S. Burroughs (the author of The Naked Lunch) in fact shot his wife in the head whilst drunk and playing 'William Tell' in 1951.
This does not feature in the book at all and is in fact drawn from the biography of Burroughs by Ted Morgan.
Perhaps not that interesting, but true nonetheless.
