A useless fact you know

That Sgt Mjr. Malatacca stomps on the Cadet handbook.


And that Pendulum was originally located in Pendulum.

You can't name a folder "con" in Windows unless you put spaces between the letters.

The original director of the anime Lucky Star was fired after four episodes.

Winston Churchill was born in a woman's bathroom.

A fetus masturbates while it's in the womb (and you thought it was kicking!)

oh god, you're a genius

I *think* that's sarcasm, but I can't exactly be sure.

How about another. The length of a safety fuse in a British 13-amp plug is nominally 1 inch, but having just measured one, it's actually more like 24mm.

I find it funny that you haven't actually read my post properly, I said the duck's cry has an echo, not has no echo.

The human body can survive without the stomach or large intestine. On second though thats not very useless...

If we could, then surely we would have evolved out of them? And if we didn't have them, then how could we live? We need to digest food, surely...

I presume the lesson is that we could survive with the small intestine alone, without any further mechanical or chemical help (and indeed, many people have and do after accidents, cancer etc). It's not a fun or easy life and it's quite inefficient digestion, but you can do it.

That's alright, you weren't the first one to point this out, i think there's a post about halfway through this thread saying the same thing by someone else.
Pardon my illiteracy.

Dog's can't look up,

Not true = P I have a dog, he looks up a lot

It's a film reference -.-

O.T. Duck-Billed Platypus is the only mammal that lay eggs if I remember correctly.

You don't, the echidna does it too. They're called monotremes, there are 2 and they're both Australian.

OT: The M21 is Modern Warfare 2 is actually an incorrectly labelled M14, it even says so right on the gun.

Bottom of the arm, not the elbow. And is that you, or did you actually search "man licks own elbow"

I saw it on Brainiac. The picture, that is.

Brainiac sold out when it became more about having attractive women in suggestive opses than actual science. And when Richard Hammond stopped doing it

According to quantum physics, if you removed all of the empty space from all of the matter that makes up the human race you would be left with something the size of a sugar cube.

In base 13, 6 times 9 equals 42.

A Google search currently produces 14 100 000 results for "strip Risk" (without the quotes), but only 208 000 results for "strip Monopoly" &
64 600 for "strip cribbage".

EDIT: Thought of another one. Gravity doesn't really exist; the Earth just sucks.

Earwigs have two penises. The more you know.

If you jump up, eventually you will come down - depending on how high the building you are on is.

Elephants are the only animal that can't jump.

A flea's jump has a higher acceleration than a rocket, and so they are the only bug that wont smush on a rocket's windscreen.

A pig's penis is shaped like a corkscrew and its orgasm lasts 30 minutes
