Useless Information
« on: January 03, 2011, 08:28:40 am »
I am a huge fan of useless information. For example, there are 118 ridges around a dime. I am not the one who counted the ridges and yet I know that. I will never use that information but I can always remember it. Also, Brad Paisley is the only country singer to have EVER been on the cover of a guitar magazine. Do you have any useless information in your head? If so, what?

 :cat:  I don't remember where I learned this one (it might have been in high school typing class) but the sentence, "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog," uses every letter in the English language.

Ooh, I'd heard that one.

Let me try to think of some..

If you feed a firefly to a pet lizard it's instant death. But I guess that's not useless if you have a pet lizard..

Hamsters are not herbivores, they are omnivorous and will eat meat.

You can always solve a maze by sticking to one wall of the maze. You will eventually find the exit this way no matter what.

I learned somewhere that the only 10 letter word with 3 double letters back to back is Bookkeeper :wave:

Nice, I like the information. Here's another.... stewardesses is the longest word in the english language that you can type correctly using only your left hand

I have heard that you are not born with kneecaps.  I heard this and I have not checked to see if it true or not.  Does anyone know if this is true or not?

I don't know if that's true or not but it'd be interesting to find out.

Brazil is the only nation in the world to have played in every World Cup.

More than 40 million soccer *bleep* are sold each year worldwide.

I guess this would be considered useless information, but I find it to be interesting nonetheless. And yes, I am a fan of the sport.

I really like this thread. Thanks for staring it. I read years ago that Roger Maris held the record for the most kickoff returns in a high school football game, five :notworthy:

I looked it up and it's true. They have temporary kneecaps made of cartlidge but the bone doesn't form until they're two years old.

"I am." is the shortest complete sentence in the English language.  :thumbsup:

Cool. I'm glad yall are enjoying the random facts. My Dad always called me a "fountain of useless information" I have sense lived up to that nickname. How about this one... The Ice Cream cone was invented in the summer of 1904 by Charles Menches. It made its debut one year later at the St. Louis World Fair

If you count a crickets chirp for 14 seconds then add 38, you'll get the temperature
