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.

FrenchIn French, smile, as in "I smile" is spelt the same as mouse (in French that is).
So, "Je souris" means both "I smile" and "I mouse".
I have a grumpy face and am always being told to cheer up which pisses me off. Anyway, when people kept telling me to smile in France I would try to respond with "I have no smile" which is true. In fact I was telling them that I had no mouse, which is also true but somewhat irrelevant. I suppose they could have thought that I had a burning desire for a mouse and that was why I was sad. Hmmm.
