Did you know that....
The man who does "Patrick" voice on Sponge Bob Square Pants, was the same guy who played in the mini serious The Stand? He was the big blonde guy who was always spelling moon.
M-O-O-N, that spells useless facts. :-)

My brain is full of useless facts. Heres just a few:
1) Norway has more coastline than the USA
2) there are more hedgrows in Devon than anywhere else in the world
3) Dogs can't look up
4) an office desk has 400 times more bacteria than a toilet
5) If you leave prawns in the fridge long enough they will become illuminous
6) Fingernails grow 4 times faster than toenails
7) women blink twice as often as men
8) Time Magazines man of the year for 1938 was Adolf Hitler
Thats all i can remember at the moment. Plus one of these isn't true, but which one?

nope all those are true, well apart from the bit about the prawns becoming Evil, this may be true but as of yet there is no Scientific proof.
The Lie is that dogs can't look up. Of course they can look up, what sort of a crazy person would suggest otherwise

P.S. If you decide to test the prawns one you've got to use fresh uncooked prawns, if you use the alrfeady cooked ones you just end up with mouldy prawns

My head is absolutely brimming with useless facts mostly tied in with movies and being able to remember huge chunks of dialogue from them just after I've watched them. I constantly get phone calls from family and friends with questions like.."what was the name of that movie that....?", "who was the guy who played.....?".

well, the average american will eat 35,000 cookies in their lifetime. i'm not sure how many an irish person will eat though.is that a pretty useless fact? oh yeah and based on a lifetime expectancy of 70 odd years we will watch 150,000 hours of tv.by the time we are 80 we will have slept for approx 26 years . that is if we are not insomniacs i suppose.my son is full of useless facts and he can remember them all. he searches the internet for them and then spends hours telling me. i have learnt the art of nodding and saying .. oh thats terrific every five minutes or so. sometimes he does a spot check on me and checks have i been listening and i'm caught out but he doesnt hold a grudge lol. he just makes me listen again .

One I spotted a while ago while surfing...
Colgate faced a big obstacle marketing their toothpaste in Spanish speaking countries as Colgate translates into the command "go hang yourself"
Oh and this one... 850 peanuts are needed to make an 18 oz jar of peanut butter.

Sure, I know all kinds of useless facts...
The hard tip of a shoelace is called an aglet.
Napalm is made from naphthaline and coconut oil.
Racoons are part of the bear family.
And now for a truly useless fact:
I can wiggle my nose!
