Post some useless trivia.

Seeing how some have mentioned Hitler, and art school... The venecian art school he applied to twice didn't want him. Because he was too awful at it. They DID however accept an artist that made the virgin Mary (translation error, original meaning was "young girl" not "virgin") in shit. Literal feces.

Also, most polar bears are ambidextrous, not left pawed, as that was only the first observed doing anything with its paws.

And ducks' quacks do echo, but normally, there aren't good circumstances for us to hear it.

"We swallow X spiders while sleeping every year" was created by scientists to see how stupid rumors you could make people believe on the internet.

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.

if i remember correctly in like pokemon blue and even the tv show there is a tower dedicated to dead pokemon. also the one that wears its dead mothers skull on its head.

or did you mean in combat they cant die?

-Dolphins are the only animal apart from humans that can experience sexual pleasure

I don't want to know how they determined that.

dolphins separate their females from the group and rape them.
theyre also known to attempt to rape human women and murder nearby human males apparently...
sorry for double-post

I said I don't want to know.

yes but thats like saying 'its quiet. too quiet.' or 'is anyone there?' you know that two seconds later youre going to get attacked and the cameraman is going to start headbanging.

Yeah that's true, if you're in a horribly cliched Hollywood slasher film. ...which we're not.

A duck's quack has no echo.

Donald Pleasance, the actor who played the most famous version of Ernst Blofeld (James Bond archnemesis), later to be parodied by Dr. Evil, also played the president in John Carpenters Escape from New York, so he's been on both sides of the spectrum.

Christopher Lee, who is well known for being Scaramanga, (The Man with the Golden Gun, another Bond villain), Count Dooku, Sauron, and Count Dracula, is Ian Fleming's cousin (The Creator of James Bond)

The lead singer for Whitesnake was formerly the one of the lead singers of Deep Purple

Metal Gear Solid's Snake is partially based off Snake Plissken, the main character in the aforementioned Escape from New York

Boba Fett is based on discarded concept drawings for Darth Vader

The main bosses in Mega Man X5 are named after the five original members of Guns N Roses (in the English release)

In a Comic Book series published by Dark Horse Comics, I can't think of the name atm, Boba Fett goes toe-to-toe with Darth Vader and survives

[triggrhappy94]

Your a new person every 7 years. The cells in your body die and are replaced the one that takes the longest is seven years.

(At least I think it's 7).

Someone's probably already corrected you, but the cells in nerve endings never duplicate or get replaced, which is what causes permanent paralysis. Bones, however, do take around 7 years to become fully replaced (I believe). Also I'm pretty sure brain cells WILL duplicate and get replaced to a certain point

Another useless trivia fact: ^That girl licking her elbow is really cute.

People in West Africa are commonly immune to Malaria. This is because many of the people there have Sickle Cell Anemia. It is carried on a recessive allele, which means that it is less likely to be inherited if only one of the parents of a child has SCA. The Malaria virus itself uses Red Blood Cells to travel throughout a person's body, but the virus can't travel on the sickle shaped red blood cells. So, because lots of people in West Africa contract Malaria, those people die, leaving the people with SCA to live on and have children, which increases the likelihood of them having SCA and being immune to Malaria.

More women play 6 String guitar than men. more men play Bass than 6 String. It is speculated that this is because a woman's hands are often smaller, thus making it easier to play 6 String while harder to play bass. However, more men than women go on to play 6 String professionally.
