You know you sometimes hear snippets of mindless, useless information that maybe one day you just might need to know, I'll start it off. Anymore for anymore...............Did you know that:


"There is not a single river in Saudi Arabia"

From 1939 to 1942 there was a undersea post office in the Bahamas

Some people can lick there elbow but most can't

Tell me cock,


is it true that if you lick your balls they can go longer









(as in golf)

No

I think that’s if your upper body is long enough to
then you can hit the ball with more force

But they don't go as far when it is cold due to cold air being denser than warm
about 30ft less on a 280 yard drive

Oi Cock and Slip stop boring me with golf stories .... :sleep:


The county of Cornwall is seperated from the rest of GB by the river Taymar. [learnt this on Escape to the Country this morning]

Did you know, a female cat will have a kitten for every male that it shags whilst it's in season?

And di you also know that the male cat's penis is covered in little hook-type things, which grab the inside of the female, hence the very loud screeching noise eminating from dark alleys :shocking:

Whilst just waiting for my sons consultation meeting with his teacher I whiled away the hour by reading a fascinating book on Sticklebacks...called The Stickleback. Did you know that in the spring the male changes from the dull silvery colour to a vibrant blue and red, even its eyes change colour.

This makes him attractive to all the females. In preparation he builds a nest or 'muff'; then when a fat female swims by he goes for the kill - no slim line babes for this big boy Oh no. He attracts his fat babe (fat because she is full of eggs ready for the fertilization) by doing a zig zag dance to entrance her.

He then nudges her towards his 'muff' where she drops her 100's of eggs. Once slim again he quickly loses interest in her and chases her away; he then brings up the babies on his own. He can have up to 5 families in a season. Once the season is finished he reverts back to the dull silvery colour.

A stickleback can live up to 2 years, if its lucky.

It was a really interesting book.

The average golf ball has 336 dimples! :w00t:

Caterpillars have 3 times as many muscles as humans do.

A dog's rectum will, in time, grow to resemble the facial features of its owner.

Really? I thought Pennsylvania was a pretty big state.

Did you know that (and I've said this on here before)....

If you put:
1 sugar lump on the first square of a chessboard then kept doubling it ie.
2 on the second square
4 on the third square
8 on the fourth square
16 on the fifth square....etc
by the time you reach the 64th square you will have enough sugar lumps that when laid end to end, will be able to reach to the moon and back again (and possibly back to the moon again - can't remember!)

Fantastic, no?

Ahh Peej that's so sweet...sweet ya get it...oh okay I'll get my coat! :mellow:

Really? I thought Pennsylvania was a pretty big state.


You've jumped to conclusions PJ :)

Did you know that if you ate all the sugarlumps on PJ's board, you'd be very fat? Yeh, ok, you probably did!

A raisin dropped in a glass of fresh champagne will bounce up and down continually from the bottom of the glass to the top. This is because the carbonation in the drink gets pockets of air stuck in the wrinkles of the raisin, which is light enough to be raised by this air. When it reaches the surface of the champagne, the bubbles pop, and the raisin sinks back to the bottom, starting the cycle over.

Did you know that emperor penguins are the largest of the 17 penguin species, growing up to 1.15m tall and weighing up to 40kg?

Now I'm 1.55m tall which is 5ft 1in and weigh 52kg, so those penguins are BIG! I wouldn't want to meet one of them in a dark alley :blink:

....polar bears and penguins have never actually met within their own natural environment....'tis true...

The best option for anyone being pursued by a Grizzly (not that anyone on this forum has ever been in this particular kind of situation I'm sure....) is for them to play dead - as a Grizzly bear would only take a bite or two and is likely to then leave well alone. However, if being chased by a black bear, run like the clappers....and DO NOT try and play dead, as they will take as many bites as is necessary to reduce you to a skeleton. DO NOT climb trees - as both are capable climbers.......you are not!

THis is going to be a really useless useless fact because I've forgotten most of the details, but a few years back I read that a certain African country (forget which one) had been forced to simplify its driving test because of the high failure rate. The original test had consisted solely of reversing the car up a ramp keeping between 2 painted lines. So many people drove off the side of the ramp that they changed it to reversing on the level between 2 lines.

That's my kinda driving test!!!!

:offtopic: but do you think you would pass the driving test if you took it now?? this is for those of us who have been driving for more years than we care to remember!

Still much too hard for me! My reversing skills are second to none. None is better.

I don't think I'd have much of a chance of passing a driving test now Buzz .

Useless fact of the day - I drink too much! People are too friendly on this forum, constantly making the bar available. Are the licensing laws adhered to?

While I was away with a group of cadets, the young officer in charge started the morning with the cadets telling him the most useless fact they knew. One morning he asked one of the cadets and he answered "I don't know". Later on the young officer was telling us, so we turned round and told him that proably was the most useless fact "I don't know" :wallbash:

The Giant Squid - a creature that lurks in the deepest fathoms of the Ocean, has never been sighted alive.

The light flurry of snow this morning, reminded me of a saying - "it's too cold to snow"

Tosh, it's seldom too cold to snow. I think it has to be about -40 before that applies. It can be too dry to snow. The very cold days in the UK tend to be dry, hence why it doesn't snow much in temperatures below freezing. But it can do.

You can get a Summer Fruits range of shampoos for ferrets.... so they can enjoy 'a total bath and body experience'.

Nice.

Weirdly I was thinking the same thing today, but my conclusion was different to yours. I decided that it needed to be cloudy to snow and cloudy days tend to be warmer, so if it was bright clear srisp and freezing then it wouldn't snow because there was no cloud.

Anyway, when we were in Lapland it was minus 25 and it blummin well snowed then!

The tip of your thumb is the last part of the body to register alcohol.

Floopy, I overheard two little lads talking on the bus today and that was one of their pearls of wisdom.

It cracked me up so much I was crying with laughter, the other passengers must have thought I was some escaped lunatic.

In the interests of science I tried it, and it worked...oh gawd Im crying with laughter again, what is it that makes us laugh so much it hirts, I mean, that wasnt really very funny?!

did I ever tell you about the Choosy curry I inflicted on Mr M ????


m ;)

:shocking:...did he notice?

(and may I have the recipe)

lol no he didnt notice, which made revenge taste that much sweeter!

Oh recipe? just make a curry, and after youve served yours up, throw in half a tin of Choosy (or Whiskas if you're into haute cuisine) stir for a min, serve, sit back and wait for the compliments ;)

M

Britons eat on average 2.2 curries a week - spending £2.8 billion every year.
