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.

Slip TidesEveryone knows that we get two High Tides and two Low Tides everyday (ie tide change about every 6 hours). But there are two places in the world that occasionally only get one of each, so if Low Tide is in the morning, High Tide won't come in till 12 hours later. One of the spots is the Spencer Gulf in South Australia (where most of the towns are shitholes), and I believe the other is in Canada somewhere. In South Aus, these are referred to as Slip Tides.
