Bet ya didnt know.....
 
Heres a place for the useless trivia that we all have heard at some time:D

Eg:
In a park, if a statue of a person on a horse has the horse's both front legs in the air, the person died in battle.
If the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died a result of wounds received in battle.
If the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.

Winston Churchill was born in a ladies' room during a dance

Donald Duck's middle name is Fauntleroy

hmmm... and here I was thinking that "syringe" rhymed with "orange" as they both have an "-inj" pronunciation to them and a pair of sylables each :)

Sharni 03-19-2002 06:25 PM

Nope "syringe" and "orange" dont rhyme...well not how i know rhyming to go anyway..:)

The average American has 7 pounds of rotting red meat in their intestines.

Sorry...I don't know how that translates into kilos or stones! :)

Humans lose an average of 40lbs of dead skin cells in a lifetime!

uh... uh... 'racecar' spelled backwards is 'racecar'. yeah! beat that! *thrusts arms into the air in celebratory fashion*

scotzoidman 03-21-2002 12:29 AM

Rev, that's what's called a "palindrome"... and the longest palindrome (as far as I know) is, "A man, a plan, a canal, Panama"

Oldfart 03-21-2002 02:17 AM

Able was I ere I saw Elba.

2 letters shorter, but by Napoleon, also shorter.

A palindrome, to be true, should form a sentence

or so the purists say. Phrase or word will do.

Reverend Silky 03-21-2002 03:47 AM

sure, just ruin my fun.

scotzoidman 03-21-2002 07:56 AM

Hey, it all qualifies as useless knowledge, right?

Lovediva 03-21-2002 09:53 AM

Bet you didn't know that I was sitting here in a wet chair..... :(

And yes that was usless information to tell you...lmfao!:D :p






The moon is a completely silent place as noises cannot be heard, as there is no air to carry sound from one place to another. :)

scotzoidman 03-21-2002 09:58 AM

Diva, the info on your chair is not really useless... but neither was it a real newsflash to those of us that know you lol...

Lovediva 03-21-2002 10:25 AM

Is it that obvious???;) :D

legend 03-21-2002 10:55 PM

useless trivia....

if you drink too much alcohol, you'll get sick and probably won't remember what happened :D

that's 15.4 lbs of rotten meat and 88 lbs. of skin cells.... :cool:that only Americans [and the English] can equate to.:o
[and a stone probably equal an uneven number of pebbles (which NOBODY knows the density of:confused: )]

TRUE STORY-
One of my customers is a small firm of ALL Russian born fellows doing development of vacuum plasma vapor deposition (tool coatings) who are an extremely sharp bunch of guys that have a super sense of humor.
Having worked on a number of projects with them, they share some of their “inside jokes” with me. They say that after they get here, they understand how the US beat the USSR in the space race days. They are introduced to the stupid system of measurement we work with:mad: and immediately know that :confused:“every American HAS TO BE A GENIUS.”

legend 03-23-2002 02:27 AM

PF - I would have thought that US scientists would be using the SI units (eg kilogram, metre etc.)....if they aren't then they should be.

MissX 03-23-2002 03:45 PM

Did you know that elephants can't jump.

Sorry that is my fav useless piece of info :)

Oldfart 03-25-2002 05:26 AM

Tale is told of the millions USA spent developing a "space pen",

while the Russians just used crayons.

Spend enough money and you can re-invent a wheel.

It's still a wheel, just more expensive.

Oldfart 03-25-2002 05:29 AM

Legend,

A Mars probe was lost because some scientists were working

in SI and others in Imperial. Only cost about $800 Mill I Think,

about a trillion Aussie Pesos.

*putting on her nursing uniform, unbuttoned to show just a bare hint of cleavage*
I have heard that old joke about "Americans have so many pounds of undigested red meat in their intestines" for years, AND IT ISN'T SO!
At the clinic I manage, our Doctors do colonoscopies all the time, and we have to do a "bowel prep" which means the patient takes nothing by mouth except for a liquid laxitive the night before the procedure. This cleans you out! Completely! And no one has lost more than a pound ir two, and most of it is water!

I know Americans eat too much red meat, but that is seen in heart disease and being overweight, not carrying around undigested meat in their tummies!


*Removing the nursing suit and cap... much more comfy this way!*

Go to the supermarket, pick up a 3kg (6.5lb) roast and picture

that in your innards.

Not so, I think, he chuckled....

The average human head weighs 8 pounds.
A pit bull terrier has 2000 pounds of pressure per square inch in their jaws.
In Japan, Akitas are used as babysitters. Helen Keller brought the first Akita to America.
You can make napalm by mixing gasoline and styrofoam.
A squirel fish looks nothing like a squirel.

Oldfart 03-26-2002 08:00 AM

Petrol, mothballs, topped up with lux flakes will give

you either get napalm or something harmless but smelly.

OF - either way, there aren't going to be any moths around :)
