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.

PenguinsAn emperor penguin can be woken from slumber 20 times more easily by contact on the tops of its feet than its head.
It balances eggs on its feet (to incubate and protect from the nasty cold ice) and must presumably be alert to them falling off.
Also penguins are not only found in antartica but all the way north to the equator (the galapagos islands - though its pretty cold here anyway due to ocean currents).
