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.

oh yeah another one
the (admittedly lame) insult 'you suck' was originally a nautical put-down...

if a boat (we're talking sailboats here) had a large wake behind it the water would 'suck' at the hull and slow the boat down... leading to 'your boat sucks / is sucking' being a kind of insult, which we then ended up using on each other...


crap i know. but true! honest!
