Useless Trivia thread

And why not? the world is slowly falling apart due to apathy and capitalism. So lets learn something that is totally useless and unless we get involved in a random complicated trivia contest we would consider the following an absolute waste of time memorising.

*The hundred billionth crayon made by Crayola was Perriwinkle Blue



*A housefly hums in the middle octave, key of F



*A goldfish has a memory span of three seconds (that's similar to me)



*Somewhere near 33 new consumer products are introduced every day. 13 of them are toys

*A duck's quack does not echo



*In the English hospitals of the seventeenth century, ****ern were entitled to two gallons of beer as part of their weekly diet



Think thats enough for you to remember for now. I will return.

thanks for the trivia......

* It costs more to buy a new car today in the United States than it cost Christopher Columbus to equip and undertake three voyages to and from the New World.



* Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia is the fear of long words.



* A giraffe can go without water longer than a camel can.



*Barbie's measurements if she were life size: 39-23-33.
*Barbie's full first name is Barbara Millicent Roberts.

Percentage of people ever born who are living in 2011 = 6.5%

Still lurking on the forum.... its still a good place to come, despite the fact that there seem to be 12 posts for the same vid each day by different users...often in the same thread!

Seem many of the old mods left cos of Oron, but I cant see any problem.

It does, time goes very fast, Seems I have joined the old retired mods and only visit here sometimes now days. being a pirate is a nice change and doing nothing at castaways is fun, no responsibility

Well look at that. 3 posters in a row who all joined in the same month.


Sri Darkstar I see all the time now, there. How they hangin', wizzer?


Unfortunately I know nothing about any useless trivia though. Okay, carry on.
