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.

I know a lot of crap facts about dragonflies
They can't walk.
Dragonfly nymphs shoot water out of their anus to propel them away from predators (jet powered!)
The males have a shovel shaped penis that scoops out rival males semen.
They only live 24 hours on average
But somehow still manage to be one of oldest animals on Earth (a very very big version) predates dinosaurs.
They are also the fastest of all insects and have thousands of eyes
I have a big dragonfly tattoo on my shoulder.

Told ya they were crap. Though, I quite like the first two.
(And at least I didn't mention brass monkeys, polar bears, ducks, charlie chaplin, anagrams or Hitler!)

(Yup, I read them ALL before I postesd)
