Only 55% of all Americans know that the sun is a star.

The Apollo 11 plaque left on the Moon says, "Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the Moon July 1969, A.D. / WE CAME IN PEACE FOR ALL MANKIND."

[amusing really, fancy when an alien lands on the moon and sees the plaque ... probably will just attempt to eat it]

here's a fascinating fact: the "bird of paradise" is so called because, in the 1600s when Europeans were raping and pillaging (opps trading) their way across south east asia, they first saw them high in the canope and report that they "float effortlessly and never land, as if they are in paradise". (source: David Attenburg's Lost in Paradise, DVD, which I adore).

Totally useless knowledge....


....but it's stinkin' hilarious...

In New York City, "It is disorderly conduct for one man to greet another on the street by placing the end of his thumb against the tip of his nose, at the same time extending and wiggling the fingers of his hand."

In Monroe, Utah, daylight must be visible between partners on a dance floor.

In Columbus,Ohio, it is illegal for stores to sell corn flakes on Sunday.

In Massachusetts, it is illegal to wear a goatee without a license.

It was discovered on a space mission that a frog can throw up. The frog throws up its stomach first, so the stomach is dangling out of its mouth. Then the frog uses its forearms to dig out all of the stomach's contents and then swallows the stomach back down again.

You can hold the mouth of an alligator shut with two fingers, but if you put a clenched fist in its mouth when it bites down it will break every bone in your hand.

Your stomach has to produce a new layer of mucous every two weeks otherwise it will digest itself.

Now that we are all stupider for knowing these things, I'll go to bed.

Hi Intet

Those were all things I needed to know, you never can tell when someone will ask you a question, now I have the answer.


In The Empire Strikes Back there is a potato hidden in the asteroid field.

HaHa CT very funny. I would have thought that a potato would have been better in "Mash".

LOL @ margaret!!

A body decomposes four times as fast in water than on land.

A dentist invented the Electric Chair.

A human head remains conscious for about 15 to 20 seconds after it is decapitated.

A murder is committed in the US every 23 minutes, which makes about 22852 murders each year.

About 100 people choke to death on ballpoint pens each year.

And chewing gum can be notorious for helping to loosen fillings - How appropriate!!! Then the dentists have a steady income stream because of it.
