Useless information

Sylvester Stallone has an I.Q of 160

Not useless information:
This Friday 8th March is International Women's Day

Tuesday 19th November is International Men's Day but it's also World Toilet Day! 🤷😂

I love obscure facts, but can't remember them, except in quizzes. If I give the first thing that comes into my head without thinking, it's usually correct. If I think about it I'm lost. The only fact I can think of today is - Cats noseprints are as unique as human fingerprints. Might be useful if the police are looking for a cat burglar!

On this day in 1983 CDs were made available for the first time. They have come and gone at least for the younger generation. We still play them.

A baby frog is called a froglet.

Flammable means the same as inflammable.

Loving all these. Mine is below courtesy of NASA:

The position of Earth's magnetic north pole was first precisely located in 1831. Since then, it's gradually drifted north-northwest by more than 600 miles (1,100 kilometers), and its forward speed has increased from about 10 miles (16 kilometers) per year to about 34 miles (55 kilometers) per year.

I believe it's currently heading towards Greenland or at least it was the last time I looked

Are you my DH?

Never heard this before! Guess "we'll" never get to find out!! Haha.

Your foot is as long as the distance from your elbow to your wrist..... Mind now, please!! No injuries allowed! 😁🤣

I started cutting back my yellow dogwood hedge today, as if it is left much longer it will try to take over the entire garden.

Indeed HPQ It blew my mind a couple of years ago when I read it.
I’ve used it occasionally in conversation to illustrate the magnitude of difference.
I seem to have an empty seat next to me quite often these days.
Funny that…
🤣

As do I as I sit musing, looking at the scampo on the end of my fork ....longing for someone to come along and ask what I am eating

That really made me laugh! On a dreary day which happens to be the anniversary of the death of my mum six years ago. I miss her so much, especially these days with what we are confronted with at home. So a big thank you! Laughter really is the best medicine.

According to QI ….water isn’t wet!

That sounds rather like the question "If a tree falls in a forest and there is no-one there to hear it, then does it make a sound" 😃

For me that's useless information

Polar bear fur isn't white it's translucent. And their skin is black. Learned that at a children's museum in Canada.

Archerfish spit at you

The 60's, what a fantastic era to be a teenager in. Beach Boys, Jan and Dean, the list goes on. If I had a time machine I would be there in seconds.

You can't hum and hold (pinch) your nose at the same time.
