Duelling is legal in Paraguay as long as both parties are registered blood donors. The original Guinness Brewery in Dublin, Ireland has a six thousand year lease. The chances of your dying on the trip to buy your MegaBucks ticket is greater than your chance of winning In every episode of Seinfeld there is a Superman somewhere The airplane Buddy Holly died in was the "American Pie." ( I actually don't think this is true, I've read up on it and never heard of it. ) While in some countries the penalty for driving while intoxicated can be death (yes, death), in Uruguay intoxication is a legal excuse for having an accident while driving. Pound for pound, hamburgers cost more than new cars. The only 15 letter word that can be spelled without repeating a letter is uncopyrightable. | ||

The very first bomb dropped by the Allies on Berlin during World War II killed the only elephant in the Berlin Zoo. More people are killed annually by donkeys than die in air crashes. There are more molecules in a teaspoon of water than there are teaspoons of water in the Atlantic Ocean. One out of every two hundred women is endowed with an extra nipple. The fingerprints of koala bears are virtually indistinguishable from those of humans, so much so that they could be confused at a crime scene. In 1963, baseball pitcher Gaylord Perry remarked, "They'll put a man on the moon before I hit a home run." On July 20, 1969, a few hours after Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon, Gaylord Perry hit his first, and only, home run. Ernest Vincent Wright wrote a novel, "Gatsby", which contains over 50,000 words -- none of them with the letter E. | ||

The topic of the thread is Useless info we should know, which is a bit of a misnomer in and of itself. If it is useless info than why should we know it. If the topic was useless info that is funny than I see your point but it's not. You sound angry Shockey (are you a shock jockey (radio for all you noobs) who is part of the Shock media?). Perhaps the media of fear, see the post on Bowling for Columbine for Michael Moore's take on the media for more info, perhaps the media of fear has got you all pissed off because you think the world is a horrible place. Of course the media skews our view of reality. That's like saying our parents skew our view of reality, they do. Reality is a huge place and we can hardly know what's going on everywhere all the time so naturally our perception of reality is distorted by who and where we got our information from. In my humble opinion, I feel that prime time news in the US is primarily about war, murder and politics, hardly a peaceful or optimistic view of the world, but that's just my opinion what's yours? Lighten up man, give a friend a hug, pick a flower, tell your girlfriend you love her (you do have a girlfriend right?). Don't let the media get you down  | ||

It was a downer, but you're telling him to lighten up? Depends on how you perceive the info. More people dying from suicide is bad if you think most of the world is depressed on the other hand if all you hear about is war,terrorism and murder only to find out that more people die from suicide than the above three than that is an awesome statistic. It's awesome because when the news is telling us the world is a horrible ugly place with war, murder and terrorism the reality of the fact is you have a greater chance of killing yourself than being shot in a war, dying from an act of terrorism or getting sliced and diced via a homicide. I find that good news. It makes me think the world isn't as horrible as the news I watch makes it out to be. | ||

Centipedes don't have 100 legs. Orchids are named from the Greek word for testicles (orchis) because of the resemblance of their bulbs to a man's testes. There were 132,432,044 automobiles registered in the United States in 1999. The largest pearl ever found weighed 14 pounds (6.4 kg). Dalmatians are born without spots.

Hahah, then you must think there's a greater chance of you killing yourself than the above three I mentioned. Cheer up depressed boy. The point is that not that many people die from suicide, but even less die from murder, war and terrorism combined. The world really isn't as bad as the media portrays it. We're actually relatively peaceful people. | ||

However, her husband, Dr. Gideon Mantell, took credit for the discovery and identified the teeth that she found as part of an Iguanodon. Later, he wrongfully identified a body part as a horn, which turned out to be part of the creature's thumb. The first dinosaur to be the subject of a tavern song was Diplodocus due to the fact that tychoon Andrew Carnegie gave a replica of the animal to King Edward VII. The tune, which was popular around the turn of the century, went: "Crowned heads of Europe All make a royal fuss Over Uncle Andy And his old Diplodocus."

According to one amateur etymologist, the word "fuck" is an acronym for "Forced Unlawful Carnal Knowledge," a crime that people were hauled into jail for. The Anglo Saxon origin of "fuck" had something to do with poking a hole in the ground.

Agromania is a morbid passion for solitude, as well as for wandering in fields. n catspeak, "meow" is actually a combination of two distinctive calls: the "me" part is a friendly greeting, while the "ow" part means, "I'm willing to defend myself." Cats meow at humans, but rarely at other cats. Before they settled on "World War II," some nomenclaturists debated on using "The Return of the World War" or "Son of World War." In some parts of Africa, people say "Wake up living" instead of saying "Good night." In Spain, when there is one bit of food left on the plate that nobody will eat, it is referred to as the "embarassed piece." The Samburu tribesman who speaks in a recent Nike commercial isn't really saying the Nike motto "Just Do It." In his native tongue, Maa, he's actually saying "I don't want these.

Kellogg's Corn Flakes were invented by a Dr. Kellogg in hopes that they would reduce masturbation. According The Solitary Vice, a book for doctors that came out in the 1890s, women who masturbate tend to eat a lot of foods containing mustard and vinegar. One punishment for an adulterous wife in medieval France was to make her chase a chicken through town naked. As late as 1940, a candidate for the U.S. Naval Academy was rejected if it was discovered that he masturbated.

I said "No I don't" You said, "hahaha than you want to kill yourself!! haha" Let's try to converse in the same language. I don't speak idiot. Brighten up, dumbass. Let me clear up any misunderstandings with some data from the Center for Disease Control. These are USA statistics. [URL="http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr52/nvsr52_03.pdf"] You will find the data here, specifically page 8 [/URL] You'll notice that in 2001 (the latest year for statistics). 30,622 people died from Suicide. Murder was 20,308. There are no statistics for war (there was no war that year, but let's be generous and include the Gulf war 1991 and current Iraqi war totals ~600 military deaths), let's add in associated terrorism from 9/11 ~3,200 and the Oklahoma city bombing. Let's add in another 1,000 for kicks and giggles. That leaves us with an approximate total of 25,108. As you can see still more than 5,000 less than suicide. These statistics vary during world wars and from country to country, but according to the CDC for more than the last 30+ years Americans have a greater chance of dying from suicide than murder, war or terrorism. | ||

The topic of the thread is Useless info we should know, which is a bit of a misnomer in and of itself. If it is useless info than why should we know it. If the topic was useless info that is funny than I see your point but it's not. You sound angry Shockey (are you a shock jockey (radio for all you noobs) who is part of the Shock media?). Perhaps the media of fear, see the post on Bowling for Columbine for Michael Moore's take on the media for more info, perhaps the media of fear has got you all pissed off because you think the world is a horrible place. Of course the media skews our view of reality. That's like saying our parents skew our view of reality, they do. Reality is a huge place and we can hardly know what's going on everywhere all the time so naturally our perception of reality is distorted by who and where we got our information from. In my humble opinion, I feel that prime time news in the US is primarily about war, murder and politics, hardly a peaceful or optimistic view of the world, but that's just my opinion what's yours? Lighten up man, give a friend a hug, pick a flower, tell your girlfriend you love her (you do have a girlfriend right?). Don't let the media get you down hmm all i heard was "i have no life" | ||

More people dying from suicide is bad if you think most of the world is depressed on the other hand if all you hear about is war,terrorism and murder only to find out that more people die from suicide than the above three than that is an awesome statistic. It's awesome because when the news is telling us the world is a horrible ugly place with war, murder and terrorism the reality of the fact is you have a greater chance of killing yourself than being shot in a war, dying from an act of terrorism or getting sliced and diced via a homicide. I find that good news. It makes me think the world isn't as horrible as the news I watch makes it out to be. umm u are officially an idiot. You act like the newsman comes to ur house and says "Terrorists will kill you" no, its called defending our country so thousands of people lives aren't wasted because some towelhead thinks america is the great satan. Suicide and Terrorism is like apples and oranges, you can't compare them at all. Frankly, i could care less how many people die of suicide. They made the choice of the time and place to take their life. With terrorism, people were attacked with no knowledge what happend or how before one of the worlds tallest buildings collapsed on them, or some radical blows himself up killing more people. Bit of a difference i'd say. apples and oranges my friend.. | ||

Terrorism and suicide are hardly comparable except on a basic level and that is deaths. You are more likely to die from suicide than terrorism, fact. Don't try and bend my words or spin my ideas. I did not say dying from terrorism is good and suicide is bad. I did not say terrorism isn't a problem. What I did state is a useless fact, which I remind you is the title of the topic. Please try and keep your posts on topic. :cheers: Useless fact: Through plate tectonics Japan is moving closer to California at the rate of 3cm per year. | ||

Just because more people commit suicide than are murdered does not mean you can come onto a Brood War forum and target a specific population and say "you" are more likely to commit suicide before you are murdered. More people probably get killed by elephants than by sharks so telling me that I am more likely to get killed by an elephant before I get killed by a Shark would be really stupid since I live in South Florida and rarely go to the zoo. Thanks for displaying your stupidity once more. It always keeps me entertained. | ||

According to Stuff Magazine, 20% of adults have a cockroach living in their ear-canal (Not sure if I believe this one). Since 1978, at least 30 people have died from vending machines falling on them, due to the fact they were trying to get free goodies. 90% of woman say they've faked an orgasm at one time or another. 90% of men are sure they've never had a woman fake an orgasm. | ||

Your stomach has to produce a new layer of mucus every two weeks, otherwise it will digest itself. The Declaration of Independence (the very official copy in the Rotunda of the National Archives) is written on parchment, not paper. The dot over the letter 'i' is called a tittle. A raisin dropped in a fresh glass of soda will bounce up and down continually from the bottom of the glass to the top. A female ferret will die if it goes into heat and cannot find a mate. A 2x4 is actually 1-1/2" x 3-1/2" . 40% of McDonald's profits come from the sales of Happy Meals. Every person has a unique tongue print. (Say "aaah") The 'spot' on 7UP comes from its inventor who had red eyes. He was an albino. | ||

Here is what the various sections mean, assuming I remember all the words. Ring around the rosie- can't recall what that means Pocket full of posie (flowers)- people who had the plague actually carried flowers to hide the smell that it came off. ashes, ashes, we all fall down- bodies that were infected with the plague were burned, and the all fall down part is used to symbolize death. It's about the Black Plague, not Small Pox. | ||

The 57 on the Heinz ketchup bottle represents the number of varieties of pickle the company once had. A rat can last longer without water than a camel. Your stomach has to produce a new layer of mucus every two weeks or it will digest itself. A duck's quack doesn't echo. No one knows why. On average, 12 newborns will be given to the wrong parents daily.! John Wilkes Booth's brother once saved the life of Abraham Lincoln's son. Chocolate kills dogs. Chocolate affects a dog's heart and nervous system. A few ounces is enough to kill a small sized dog. Donald Duck comics were banned from Finland because he doesn't wear pants. American Airlines saved $40,000 in 1987 by eliminating one olive from each salad served in First Class. Because metal was scarce, the Oscars given out during World War II were made of wood. The number of possible ways of playing the first four moves per side in a game of chess is 318,979,564,000. There are no clocks in Las Vegas gambling casinos. There are no words in the dictionary that rhyme with orange, purple and silver. The name Wendy was made up for the book Peter Pan. There was never a recorded Wendy before. Leonardo Da Vinci invented scissors. It also took him 10 years to paint Mona Lisa's lips. If you have 3 quarters, 4 dimes and 4 pennies, you'd have $1.19. You would also have the largest amount of money in coins without being able to make change for a dollar. The first CD pressed in the US was Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA". The mask used by Michael Myers in the original "Halloween" was actually a Captain Kirk mask painted white. Charlie Chaplin once won third prize in a Charlie Chaplin look-alike contest. Chewing gum while peeling onions will keep you from crying. Sherlock Holmes NEVER said "Elementary, my dear Watson". Astronauts are not allowed to eat beans before they go into space because passing wind in a spacesuit damages them. Back in the mid to late 80s, an IBM compatible computer wasn't considered 100% compatible unless it could run Microsoft's Flight Simulator. Bats always turn left when exiting a cave!! | ||

A man named James Olds performed experiments on lab rats by implanting electrodes into their reticular formations. On one rat, he missed and accidentally put an electrode in a region of the hypothalamus. After that, the rat kept returning to the place where it had been stimulated by the misplaced electrode to try and get more. Apparently Olds found a region of the brain that provides a pleasurable reward. So he began more experiments. He put a pedal in a rat cage and allowed a mouse to stimulate itself by pressing the pedal. The mouse pressed the pedal at a rate of 7,000 times per hour until it passed out from exhaustion. When it woke up, it would continue to do it as fast as it could. Then he put an electrified floor that would give the rat a zap if he crossed it and he put the pedal on the other side, and slowly cranked up the electricity to see how much pain the rat was willing to endure for the pleasurable reward. Eventually, the rat electrocuted itself to death in order to get to the pedal. When the pedal was replaced with food, the mouse would starve to death before crossing the field. In another experiment, they made a Y shaped maze, and put the pedal at one end and food at the other and let the mouse go in once a day. The mouse went for the pedal every single time until it starved to death. When humans were tested the same way, given a button. They sat on a Lazy Boy chair and pressed the button as fast as they could for hours until they passed out. Another psychologist, Sanjiv Talwar was able to put things in a rats brain so that he can control it. He gave the rat a receiver, power source and a back pack camera, and by pressing buttons on his lap top he was able to make the rat turn on cue, climb trees, scurry along branches, and turn around and come back down. | ||

if u hate me then u dont think that was cute if u hate me u think this whole post is dumb no matter what i say its dumb because u already hate me u see how that works, ur feelings exist and then u rationalize them rationalize means u just kinda make up the reasons when they really arent the reasons they're just possible reasons that u didnt even know when u actually made ur decision, which is pretty much all i do and most ppl do and where do the feelings come from, sometimes u can know if ur honest with urself, because the first thing you see that causes the feeling is where u should look, and try to figure out why it caused a reaction in u, but sometimes figuring out why it could bother u and not bother u is pretty abstract. sometimes what ur simply doing without realizing it is socializing other people, not socializing with, but socializing them. it means ur passing on the fabric of society via ur actions, the fabric that was implanted in u somehow by other people (socializing you, get it). its how it spreads. is it right or wrong? u b the judge. but it leads to feelings and everyone rationalizines them over and over and if u buck it all u are anti-social and make everyone unhappy because you dare challenge rationalizats. u see its very difficult when u realize ur rationalizations arent as important or solid etc as u thought they were. humans dont like to think about themself in this way, but they can think about others more easily. can u think about yourself like it is someone else? u have to ask urself very theoretical questions to really get at yourself without your "self" interfering, at lmost in most common states of mind u do. there is something in the mind which u dont allow urself to think or see very often, a part of the mind that tries to hide itself. as u try to find out anything from it, it throws anything at you to get you off track. it changes the subject and makes u feel bad just for trying to figure it out. its like a part of your mind you can see, and have control over, but it's all an illusion created by the part of the other mind that is like seperate from yourself, but in another way, it's your real self, it's just someone else from your perspective. this is why it's easier to see/criticisze someone else than urself. this is why people being honest with eachother can accomplish things much more easily, but the same challenges arise: if someone tells you something about yourself that you didnt want to let urself know anyways, about how ur life is or ur personality or somethying, tyhen u will have the same responses except now you can put the negative feelings on them: they are an asshole, they are wrong, they are stupid, etc. whatever defensive mechanism will work. cuz u see, thats what a lot of things r. what are they defending that is so precious? usually it's something totally irrational that u really dont think u should give a shit about. but that other you ionside, the one u dont have access too, has picked up all kinds of habits and values and whatnot from your whole life, some before u even can remember, habits in thought that just seem to keep happening because it's so easy to and so hard not to. it takes maybe 6 weeks to really have an impact on how ur mind is working and most ppl have an attension span of far less than an hour that's for sure. | ||

"The very first bomb dropped by the Allies on Berlin during World War II killed the only elephant in the Berlin Zoo." Untrue. The city was Leningrad, not Berlin and the bombs were dropped by the Germans. "hitler actually had only 1[ball]" "hitler paid a prostitute to kick him while he masturbate" Both untrue. There is no evidence that Hitler had intimate relations with any of his favorites, the rumors behind his sexual perversions were 20s sozi propaganda transmitted to American intelligence by Hanfstaengl. Needless to say people who know him intimately and his better biographers have all debunked these myths. Hitler has only one ball comes from an obscene piece of sozi propaganda which was turned into a British drinking song. "In 1939 the US political party 'The American Nazi Party' had 200,000 members" Untrue. The party's membership never exceeded 25 000. Due to staggering inflation in the 1920's, 4,000,000,000,000,000,000 German marks were worth 1 US dollar. Untrue. At the worst period of 1923 One US dollar was worth only 4 trillion at worst, not 4 Quintillion. | ||

From the ancient cultures of china, to india, to europe, to america it has been used for thousands of years while (Correct me if I'm wrong) tylenol is fairly new. America believes in processed drugs like Tylenol because the government exaggerated and lied to its country about the effects of Marijuana during the 20's and 30's. The rumor's and exaggerated facts and lies never really we corrected, therefor a large % of america has fallen into believing their lying and brainwashing government about the 'drug'. Let me also note that when HERION was first introduced to the USA the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES HIMSELF stated that he would prefer the use of herion over marijuana. The government also said the same about cocaine. Heroin was made to be a cure/replacement from the addictive use of morphine by the bayer company ^^ Good job Bayer! "The workers loved it, some saying it made them feel "heroic" (heroisch). This was also the term used by chemists to describe any strong drug (and diacetylmorphine is four times stronger than morphine). Creating a brand name was easy. In November 1898, Dreser presented the drug to the Congress of German Naturalists and Physicians, claiming it was 10 times more effective as a cough medicine than codeine, but had only a tenth of its toxic effects. It was also more effective than morphine as a painkiller. It was safe. It wasn't habit-forming. In short, it was a wonder drug - the Viagra of its day." http://opioids.com/heroin/heroinhistory.html | ||

The cool thing is that the suns mass will remain the same (with expection for engulfing the planets) for the whole time it exist, planets will still revolve around it even though it has shrunk to a smaller size I'm sure we'll be on another planet thriving by then | ||

I did the calculation for this in class and the result was that the total radiated mass in a year (call it m) divided by the mass of the Sun was: m/M ~ 10^-22 (could be -21, not totally sure now). | ||

The media skews our views of reality, I'll repeat more people die from suicide each year than murder and acts of war/terroris combined. Remove the japs from the poll and it evens out I'm sure. Skewed poll... not skewed reality. | ||

Subatomic and other particles also leave the sun as the solar wind, which is what causes auroras when there is an increased strenght of the wind: The solar wind contains roughly equal number of electrons and protons, along with a few heavier ions, and blows continously from the surface of the Sun at an average velocity of about 400 km/second. This is a remarkable velocity: particles in the solar wind from the Sun's surface travel at a speed that would allow them to go from Knoxville to Memphis in less than 2 seconds! This wind leads to a mass loss of about 10 million tons of material per year, which may seem like a large number, but is insignificant relative to the total mass of the Sun. | ||
