Did you know that in an average lifetime of 75 years, you spend 25 years asleep? What a criminal waste of time!

What do you know that we dont?

I love space facts.

Jupiter has a mass 318 times bigger than earth

Olympus Mons, a volcano on Mars, is the largest volcano found in our solar system, it is 370 miles wide and rises 15 miles!

If all the Chinese lined up and walked in a steady stream off a cliff, the line would never end. It would take so long that the population would replicate before the end of the line could be reached.

Apparently the sun burns up to 400 Million tons of hydrogen.... per second.
It's been doing this for 4 Billion years.




Good job it's not burning petrol, especially at the current prices!

You aren't allowed to sell ET Dolls in France, as there is a law against selling dolls without human faces

The harmless whale shark holds the title of largest fish, with the record being a 59 footer captured in Thailand in 1919.

I used to have one per day of these useless facts when I was 16 ...it lasted around 6 months.... they really are useless

I love this thread!

Did you know Paracetamol is extremely toxic to snakes and cats?

They lack the enzyme needed to break it down safely. Even minute portions can be fatal.

Bees cant fly, it is a phisical impossibility for the small surface area of their wings to lift their bodyweight, thing is nobody ever told the bees.

In Thailand you can't legally buy alcohol in a shop or restaurant between 2 and 5pm.

It's not illegal to get drunk in a bar in full public view during these hours. But you can't pick up a bottle of wine or a few bottles of beer in a supermarket or shop, nor can you have a glass of beer or wine with a meal in a restaurant, during those three hours.

a young Duck Billed Platypus is called a Puggle...

Below are a couple of bizarre collective nouns for animals:

group of Crows = a murder

group of Orangatangs = a buffoonery


I love a bit of randomly useless info!

One I used to use in my email campaigns:

If you open your shop for 8 hours 5 days a week, you are open to the public for 2,080 hours a year.

If you have a great website, you are open to the public for 8,760 hours a year!
