Sorry but thats bullshit. http://www.snopes.com/business/money/redensign.asp The Red Ensign would have been flown over Parliament when Sir John A. MacDonald was Prime Minister so the flag depiction on the ten is correct. |

Useless Facts
Chickens can't swallow while they are upside down.
"Paraphilia" is the technical term for sexual deviation or perversion. A stretched out Slinky is 87 feet long. Women blink twice as often as men. Sigmund Freud's first three scientific papers concerned fish. The first issue of Playboy, in 1953, which sold for a mere fifty cents, was never dated, because Hugh Hefner assumed he'd never publish another. The three foods Americans say they dislike the most are tofu, liver and yogurt. Uncle Tom's Cabin was the first novel to sell more than one million copies. 40% of people who move to a new address also change their brand of toothpaste at the same time. Apples are more effective at keeping people awake in the morning than caffeine. A well-known jail in London was once located on Clink Street. That's why jails are sometimes called "clinks."

The word "vanilla" comes from the Latin word vagina, because of the vanilla pod's resemblance to the female genitalia.
The male pig has a corkscrew shaped penis that looks like his tail, and he slowly "winds" into the female pig before achieving a ten-minute-long orgasm. There is more to sex in the animal kingdom than doing it doggie style. Did you know that a barnacle's penis is 150 percent of its body length? Did you know that in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, it is illegal to have sex with a truck driver in a tollbooth? Grand Tetons literally means "big tits". A sex change has never been performed in Ireland, yet! Lions will have sex about 500 times with one mate to ensure fertilization. A female orgasm is a powerful painkiller (due to the release of endorphins), so headaches are in fact a bad excuse not to have sex! |
My big toe is a useless piece of shit right now.

Thank you, now I have loads of useless crap to trick my friends on, followed by them laughing at me because I actually know that stuff.

Mary Magdalene is the patron saint of prostitutes.
