USELESS Shit
If this was "USEFUL" it wouldn't be shit!!!
A cat has 32 muscles in each ear. A crocodile cannot stick its tongue out. A dragonfly has a life span of 24 hours. A goldfish has a memory span of three seconds. A group of geese on the ground is a gaggle; a group of geese in the air is a skein. A "jiffy" is an actual unit of time for 1/100th of a second. A shark is the only fish that can blink with both eyes. A snail can sleep for three years. Al Capone's business card said he was a used furniture dealer All 50 states are listed across the top of the Lincoln Memorial on the back of the $5 bill. All of the clocks in the movie "Pulp Fiction" are stuck on 4:20." Almonds are a member of the peach family. An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. Babies are born without kneecaps. They don't appear until the child reaches 2 to 6 years of age. Butterflies taste with their feet. Cats have over one hundred vocal sounds. Dogs only have about 10. Did you know that crocodiles never outgrow the pool in which they live? "Dreamt" is the only English word that ends in the letters "mt". February 1865 is the only month in recorded history not to have a full moon. In England, the Speaker of the House is not allowed to speak. In the last 4,000 years, no new animals have been domesticated. If the population of China walked past you in single file, the line would never end because of the rate of reproduction. If you are an average American, in your whole life, you will spend an average of 6 months waiting at a red light. In most advertisements, the time displayed on a watch is 10:10 It's impossible to sneeze with your eyes open. Leonardo Da Vinci invented the scissors. Los Angeles' full name is "El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reina de los Angeles de Porciuncula" Maine is the only state whose name is just one syllable. Mr. Rogers was an ordained minister. No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver, or purple On a Canadian two dollar bill, the flag flying over the Parliament Building is an American flag. (The $2 bill is now a coin.) Our eyes are always the same size from birth, but our nose and ears never stop growing. Peanuts are one of the ingredients of dynamite. Pinocchio is Italian for "pine eye." Rubber bands last longer when refrigerated. Shakespeare invented the word 'assassination' and 'bump' "Stewardesses" is the longest word typed with only the left hand, "lollipop" with your right. The average person falls asleep in seven minutes. The average person's left hand does 56% of the typing. The characters Bert and Ernie on Sesame Street were named after Bert the cop and Ernie the taxi driver in Frank Capra's "It's a Wonderful Life." The cruise liner, QE2, moves only six inches for each gallon of diesel that it burns. The giant squid has the largest eyes in the world. The longest one-syllable word in the English language is "screeched." The microwave was invented after a researcher walked by a radar tube and a chocolate bar melted in his pocket. The only 15-letter word that can be spelled without repeating a letter is "uncopyrightable". The sentence "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" uses every letter of the alphabet. The winter of 1932 was so cold that Niagara Falls froze completely solid The words 'racecar' and 'kayak' and 'level' are the same whether they are read left to right or right to left. (palindromes) There are 293 ways to make change for a dollar. There are 336 dimples on a regulation golf ball. There are more chickens than people in the world. There are only four words in the English language which end in "dous": tremendous, horrendous, stupendous, and hazardous. There are two words in the English language that have all five vowels in order: "abstemious" and "facetious." There is a word in the English language with only one vowel, which occurs six times: "indivisibility." There's no Betty Rubble in the Flintstones Chewables. Tigers have striped skin, not just striped fur. Two-thirds of the world's eggplant is grown in New Jersey. TYPEWRITER is the longest word that can be made using the letters only on one row of the keyboard. Winston Churchill was born in a ladies' room during a dance. Women blink nearly twice as much as men. Your stomach has to produce a new layer of mucus every two weeks; otherwise it will digest itself. |

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. Last edited by Cujo; 06-19-2003 at 05:56 AM.. |

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 average bed is home to more than six billion dust mites. There is about 38 times as much salt water on Earth as fresh water. Studies indicate that approximately 10% of adult women have not experienced an orgasm. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Something must be down about the last one. I volunteer to help the orgasmically deficient!! Glad

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!
