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.

Orange does rhyme
Rhyme: (n) Correspondence of terminal sounds of words or of lines of verse

Terminal sound = last syllable. Orange, therefore, rhymes with syringe. That's assuming your regional accent pronounces orange "orinje" ranther than "oranje"
