A useless fact you know

[Spydercake]

Human males are the only mammals that do not have a bone in their penis.
Thus the term boner is really out of place for our species.

It is impossible to sneeze with your eyes open.

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.

it was deadly serious.. haha, and thank you

You have three kinds of lies: Big lies, little lies and statistics.

Mark Twain, if I'm not mistaking?

Fun fact: Beards grow faster in the summer than in the winter. Which seems odd to me, but, alas, it's true.

Whatever! D: I look like a hobo in like, two days! Doesn't matter what time it is!

On the other hand it does seem logical seeing that we dress warmly in the winter so that the beard is unnecessary then.

And in the summer we need to protect our face from the sun, so the hair might give a slight protection. (Or it's good for mating season, I don't know.)

Funny thing you should reference mating, because it's also a fact that a bearded man oozes sexual competence. According to science (read: or so I've heard).

There are two towns with the name Hell, one in the USA, one in Norway

There's a Hell in the north of Sweden too.

Sweet ^^ my useless fact is now more useless

Earwigs have two penises. The more you know.

... For what possible purpose?

I can see it now: DP'ing Their Way Through Scum and Dirt, An Earwigs Life

Apparently as a back-up in case the first one snaps off.

...

Yes, you read that right.

 

[KaiRai]

There is a town in Norway called Hell, and the longest town names is in Wales. It's called Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch - Seriously. It translates to: "St. Mary's Church in the hollow of white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio near the red cave."

EDIT: Damn. Ninja'd on the Hell thing

I'll be honest with you. I can't really prove that.

But I've heard bald people are more furtile. According to my genes that won't happen in a loooooong time.

If i squeeze with all my might, I can fit my head up my rectum.

Or if you want a clean, nice fact.

Historians are statistically more likely to write about the past when working.

In Higurashi (when They Cry) the anime, all the arcs are connected by blood making the shape of an firebird coming from the ashes, the reason Keichi is still alive.

*gets shot*

I never knew that.

The angle of the Earth's axis is 23.5 degrees.<----- RELATIVE TO WHAT?

Probably to the axis around the sun. Loog it up



Aliens vs Predator 2010 for PC is not the first alien vs predator PC game. And I've never played it! Though it's AVP2 (2001) predecessor was great imo.

The plastic thing at the end of your shoelace is called an 'aglet'.

 

[KaiRai]

It's called AN useless fact due to the vowel
wait... That is usefull... hmm...
I have a bottle of ouzo on my room
(that is uselss, as ouzo is fucking horrible)

Actually it's not. I'm pretty sure it goes on the basis of what letter the letter starts with. So for instance 'F' is pronounced 'eff'. So you say an F. Say it out loud. On paper it's not grammatically correct, but in language it is.

Say 'a u' then 'an u' and then do it with 'a l' and 'an l'. It's weird, right?
