I know this is really mean/cruel but.. if you catch a firefly and then pull it's bottom end (where it lights up) from the rest of it's body, while it's lit.. it'll stay lit for a bit.

I didn't do this myself, but I saw my little brother do it once a while back.

I LOVE useless informaion too. Ugh, lets see, Hitlers nephew fought against him in the United States army in France. Red dye in clothing and food are made from beetles in Africa, yes thats true. Lipstick has fish scales in it to make it glitter and shine. The skin is the largest organ of the body. The thumb that children suck/chew on is 93% likely to be the hand they write with. The brain send out over trillion command every second, that is wild I can hardly believe it myself.

Sure.  What was the title of the only three stooges short in which Moe, Larry, Curly and Shemp appeared together?

I love reading this stuff. My fiance is big on useless information. When he gets home from work, I am going to ask him for some. Until then! :)

The names of all the Marx Brothers:

Groucho, Harpo, Chico, Zeppo, and Gummo. 

(people usually miss at least one of them)


Also, the official native fruit for the state of Ohio is the pawpaw.

How about this one:

TYPEWRITER, is the longest word that can be made using the letters on only one row of the keyboard.  Which is very true.  Simply look for these letters on the first row of letters on your keyboard!

Mango and Brown beans don't go together so never eat beans after having mango or reverse.

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?
R U one of those factoid aspies?

Here's something else for useless information that I got off my e-mail account:

Recycle glass bottles can be made into roads, tiles, even surfboards.

I knew about the fish scales in lip stick. I've also heard that mascara is made from guano (bat droppings) or was it eye liner....maybe both. Either way, I wouldn't be surprised.
