The Completely Useless Facts Thread

Agent Smith · 06-22-2006, 12:16 PM

I can't believe how many useless facts I encounter on a regular bases. Let's collect them all here.

At last check, the governor of Arkansas makes $60,000 a year. His salary is the lowest of all 50 states.

You must be right. Reading braille is a 2 handed job.

So if reading braille is a 2 handed job, what does a blind man with no arms do?

Tribe's search function is a fantastic tool.

Guy, if you're blind and armless, you're getting so much pitynanni that you have no use for self-pleasure.

Crocodiles can climb small trees.

Wait, that isn't useless information.

Although for all you know, it could be pitymanass, with a good shave hiding the truth.

Edit: My search function doesn't work either... does that count as a useless fact?

Hollee fuck.. Kuba, Agent Smith, Crazlegs and I were having a discussion about blind people and porn the other night.

What is porn to blind people?

And then we talked about how to ask insensitive questions on a public message board.

Australia has the highest number of McDonald's per capita in the world.

The outdoor temperature can be estimated to within several degrees by timing the chirps of a cricket. It is done this way: count the number of chirps in a 15-second period, and add 37 to the total. The result will be very close to the actual Fahrenheit temperature. This formula, however, only works in warm weather.

that's actually not a useless fact. it's very important in terms of stem cells and diversification of a generic cell into specific cell types.

When John Wilkes Booth leaped onto the stage after shooting the President, he tripped on the American flag.

There are about 226,000 trees in Central Park.

It can take a sloth up to two weeks to digest a meal.
