I bet most of you never knew these wonderfully interesting facts. I'm also sure you never gave any of these trivial facts any thought either. But like a good joke here are 3 facts which will make those around you take notice of your amazing knowledge of useless information. -Cats can’t taste sweet things because of a genetic defect. Oh well, they have 9 other reasons to be happy, lol. -Have you ever noticed that all your fingernails don't grow at the same pace? It's true, your fingernails grow faster on your dominant hand and fingernails grow fastest on your bigger fingers. -Did you know their was a disagreement on the way to answer the phone. We usually answer the phone with the word "Hello" but when people began using them they used the word "Ahoy!" -You can thank Alexander Graham Bell, the phone inventor, for the ship reference. Bell’s rival, Thomas Edison, believed “Hello” was more appropriate. And, according to The New York Times, by 1880, “hello” had won out. Hope you found these interesting obscure facts entertaining. Now, your ready to dazzle your friends with some useless information... Source- Best Life

They are fun. Learning unusual things in life may not be really important, but fun nonetheless

Amazing what weird items of info there is in this world Here are some additional fingernail facts: Nails also grow faster during the daytime as well as during the summer months. If you lost a fingernail it would take up to 6 months to grow it back completely.
