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.

Not just anyone saved Thomas Edison's last breath in a jar. Henry Ford,the ol' Jew-hater himself, did.

Ok, that part may be apocryphal, but they were friends. And the last breath jar DOES exist. It is housed in the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan.

(sub-useless facts: Most, if not all, of Dearborn, Michigan was formerly part of Henry Ford's estate. His home, Fair Lane, exists on the remainder of the estate, across the street from Fairlane Mall... ah, consumerism. Many other business in the area bear the Fairlane name.)
