A large percentage of the human race will attempt to lick their own elbow after being told that they can't just to make sure.

Feet is not an accurate measure of penis size. In actual fact, the distance between the thumb and index finger when in the shape of a gun is much more accurate.

Typing in the Konami Code (up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A) into certain websites will yield special Easter eggs hidden away in the code. A special site was set up to try and keep track of them all: http://konamicodesites.com/

The most effective method of clearing ones nostril is a technique called 'The Snot Rocket'. Simply close one nostril and blow hard through the other.

Its more beneficial to pick your nose than clean your ears of earwax. The ear wax is not meant to be removed or anything as it maintains levels by itself. Furthermore, damage can because by pushing earbuds in too far. Picking you nose is perfectly fine though. Its only gunge with germs in.

Moths are not attracted to light in the dark. What they actually do is, during the day of course, use the Sun to navigate in a straight line. They tune their flight in relation to where the Sun is and get around that way. At night, we humans turn on our artificial lights, acting as small suns for the moth to use as navigation. This results in a moth that flies around and around a light source but to the moth its going in a straight direction.

The new Yogi-bear is the most frightening CGI monster ever created.

Honey in tea is surprisingly nice.

Nintendo have been in business for around 100 years ago. It made money by selling other little knick-knacks like playing cards.

The reason Pokemon do not die was a moral choice made by the creator of Pokemon: Satoshi Tajiri. He thought that the game would be too bloody and violent, so made them faint as a more kid-friendly alternative.

When the Celsius scale was first created, the creator put boiling at 0 degrees and freezing at 100. It wasn't changed around until after his death.

[Edit]

Also, US Vice-President Spiro Agnew's name (he served under Nixox, '69 - '73) is an anagram for Grow A Penis.
That makes me sad to know that... someone close to me had that nickname in college because he was the VP of a club. I'm hoping I forget this soon :\

For Valve fans:
Black Mesa was the name of a US Army rocketry test range in Utah.
On a note related to that, the Black Hand (of Dark Brotherhood fame) was the name of the Serbian group that assasinated Archduke Francis Ferdinand of Austria, thus leading to the start of WWI
Also of C&C Renegade fame.

So that's where I left it! Kidding...possibly.

OT: Brisbane, Australia was originally founded as a prison for those who committed crimes after being sent to Australia for committing crimes in Britain.

Human's can't lick their elbows.
It depends on how you take that. With a bent arm you cannot but if you stick out your arm straight and use the other to pull it to your body you can.

OT:Corn fields are hotter than the surrounding area because of the heat and insulation from the corn and contrary to popular belief Las Vegas does not allow prostitution while much of Nevada still does.

Hi guys, I'd love to see some useless trivia!

Did you know that there is no mathematical function to gain the exact square root of all real numbers?
Look, I don't know where you came from, kid from Jerry Macquire, but you're awfully bossy today!

Fact
-Sharks are immune to cancer
-Blind chameleons will change color to match their surroundings
-Dolphins are the only animal apart from humans that can experience sexual pleasure
-A swan is the only bird with a penis
All of those are wrong. Sharks can occasionally get cancer, but it's rare because they tend to die violently before becoming old enough. Chameleons don't change colour to match their surroundings, various primates and other animals experience sexual please, and many species of birds have penises.

Here's a bit of trivia that's also a useful bit of fire safety information:

sharks have no bones only cartilage, cartilage cannot become cancerous

not a single bird has a penis what they have instead is cloaca swelling in which the cloaca swells outward appearing very much like a penis, but is nonetheless only the cloaca

and also a large portion of sweat is actually urine

(biology is a fun major for useless facts!!!)

There is a discussion of whether the city of Troy were actually conquered the way we learned it (Horse of Troy) or if it was actually an earthquake that broke down the walls and allowed the Archaians into the city. The god of earthquakes was Poseidon, and he was often portrayed as a horse.

It could all have been rewritten, with the great horse being a statue to honor the god that allowed the greeks to win.

Tea tree oil is poisonous to hedgehogs. Also if a hedgehog dislikes the taste of something they foam at the mouth and spit up on themselves.

Egg-tempra paint is to be stored in a container with the least amount of surface to air ratio as possible.

Even though people say that they want a panini, they actually want a panino, as "panino" is the proper singular form for the sandwich. "Panini" is the plural. Although in my case, I always want panini, because having one panino is wasting panini!

Hens can change their sex from female to male. Hens only ever use one of their ovaries (I'm certain it's the left one). If their active ovary becomes damaged, a hen could potentially release a very high amount of testosterone and turn its other ovary into a testicle, along with a complete change in behaviour, displaying the characteristics of cockrels. It happens in 1 of every 10,000 hens.

echidnas actually only have 1 penis, but it has four heads

snakes and some lizards have 2 penis's known as hemipenes, they only use one at a time

humans are the only primate with salty tears, subdermal fat, and very little hair thus spawning the highly controversial aquatic ape theory they are also the only ape without a baculum (penis bone)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquatic_ape_hypothesis

seriously biology teaches you the most random crap ever

and my final fact is actually a warning:

the cells in our ears in which we use to hear do not regenerate you can hear the best you ever will at birth. When you are exposed to load noises such as at a concert then return home and your hearing feels muffled that is your new level of hearing when you sleep and awaken the next morning feeling fine you are still hearing everything muffled but your brain has adjusted to your new level of diminished hearing.

in short: don't stand near the speakers! and for god sake stop using earbuds!!!!

A reaction between gases at Jupiter's poles, the planet's insanely powerful magnetic field and the solar wind allow Jupiter to create its own radio waves. I am Jupiter obsessive XD

Nazism would have never existed and the Second World War never would have started if Hitler had been accepted into a Munich art college after World War 1, as it is unlikely that he would have discovered the DAP (which only had 54 members when Hitler joined), German Workers' Party, which was changed to the National Socialist Party, or the Nazi party, after Hitler took over from Anton Drexler in 1920 (I maybe wrong about the date).
