Useless Information
October 22, 2008
One of the things that I enjoy is reading information that really has no importance, therefore it becomes useless information. I don't know why it fascinates me, but it does. I probably have more useless knowledge in my brain now than useful. I thought I'd share some with you.
- The average person falls asleep in seven minutes.
- "Stewardesses" is the longest word that is typed on a keyboard with only the left hand.
- To escape the grip of a crocodile's jaws, push your thumbs into its eyeballs. It will let you go instantly.
- Reindeer like to eat bananas.
- No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver, and purple.
- More people are killed annually by donkeys than die in air crashes.
- A "jiffy" is an actual unit of time. It corresponds to 1/100 of a second.
- Every time you lick a stamp, you consume 1/10 of a calorie.
- It was discovered on a space mission that a frog can throw up. First the frog throws up its stomach so the stomach is dangling out of its mount. Then the frog uses its forearms to dig out all of the stomach's contents. Then the frog swallows its stomach back down again.
