Have you got a fun fact? what about a Usless trivia?
or even a strange truth?
That you have to share with the world.
Here is the place you can do it.

Did you know there are snakes that fly? My head is full of useless trivia, we could do this for a year.

yes lets! :o)
I'm Full of Odd Information.
(i'm just all round odd any way so why should my mind be any different!)

Every time you lick a stamp, you're consuming 1/10 of a calorie!

No way! Remember the Seinfeld episode where George's fiancee dies licking poor quality stamps? They were toxic.

LOLZ! Uh....i ahve to think of one now, normally i have them for random times bu now im asked...i cant remember.... OH! I got one!


You know how you are told frowning uses more muscles then smiling? Well they are wrong! it takes 12 to smile but only 11 to frown. :)

Good, then I'm actually exercising when I smile? I can have that pudding I was eyeing.
Let's see, I need one now... Did you know one of the first casualties of animal to human blood transfusions was a Pope? Cow blood! Ew.

ewwwwww

Im thinking of one i can say

Rabbits are not rodents. They are lagomorphs, and are more closely related to horses than they are to rats or mice.

An iguana can stay under water for 28 minutes.

Dragonflies are one of the fastest insects, flying over 80km/hr.

The world record frog jump is 33 feet 5.5 inches over the course of 3 consecutive leaps, achieved in May 1977 by a South African sharp-nosed frog called Santjie.

A 1,200-pound horse eats about seven times its own weight each year

There are around 2,600 different species of frogs. They live on every continent except Antarctica

phew... i think i'm done now!

I have found more!! Has anybody else got any useless trivia?
It is impossible to hum if your nose is plugged.

Do you know that snakes can fart? I kid you not.

Are you serious? Wow! I suppose that was the intention of this topic...to learn new things. :o)

Horses rarely, if ever, vomit or burp. Everything has a one way ride to the other end.

Horses are of 2 minds about life, literally. They have both binocular & peripheral vision that engages two separate parts of their brains. The binocular vision engages a logical portion that has a very good memory, but movement caught by the peripheral vision engages almost completely reactive portion. That's what causes them to spook & they can move faster than a scared cat.

Pigs can swim & many love to.

Yeah it kind of does but not properly.
I did it before I put it up here. Can even lick my elbow.....I'm not doing it again though, wet elbow feels yucky.

I read somewhere that The roof of your mouth is ticklish, and if you press your tongue to the roof of your mouth I think it either stops yawning or sneezing...I can't remember which one it was.

Fastest way to get a bee out of a house or room is turn off all of the lights, leave open a door or window to the outside. They (the bee) will be attracted the light outside and fly out with no swatting or shooing necessary.

wow trisha that is one handy tip....i like handy tips :o)

They eye and female genitals are the only body parts that clean themselves!

Women have one less rib then men.

The ancient egyptians used gold fot decorating in pharaos.tombs not because of its wealth but because of the fact that gold doesnt rust and so it would last forever and during the after life!

Thanks.

People who write with their left hands have a more active right lobe of the brain than others who have the usual active left lobe. The left handed folks are said to be more inclined to love math rather than literature and logic more than arts.

The closest living relative to the elephant is the rock hyrax. It's about the same size as a large rat.

If they were really into bling they used silver. It was far more expensive.

If real custard curdles while you make it (I am a rabid cook) adding an ice cube can rescue the brew. Also blitzing it with a hand-blender.

Too much salt in your stew? Add some uncooked potato or tomatoes.

the only part of your body that doesn't heal itself is your teeth.

On that note, your liver is the only organ that can regenerate itself.

When someone asks 'How old are you?' reply 'Which bit?'... different parts of our body renew themselves at different rates. The liver takes about seven years, the skeleton is faster.... can another geek add the rest?
