If you’re anything like us, you enjoy knowing an abundance of useful(less) information. You never know when it will come in handy!




As our grandparents always told us, “Every kind of information and/or education can be helpful at some point or another.”

These days, you pick up a lot of information. You can’t turn anywhere without constantly being bombarded by facts, figures and news from the television, Internet and magazines.

No, these aren’t things you need to know, but it doesn’t hurt to be well-versed in trivia.

Usually, unless you’re going to compete in the ultimate nerd-off, where knowledge of useless facts is celebrated, these things will just sit in your memory bank waiting for their time to shine.

But who knows? Maybe the next time you’re out with your friends playing bar trivia these things will come in handy. If someone were handing out medals for knowing random junk, you’d win the gold.

I don't know if I would classify them as the most interesting facts ever, but some were indeed interesting.
 
The sitekeeps crashing my phone, can someone post the 15 Facts....
 
For Hoichi-

1. Hannibal Lector - In the movie Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal never blinks. Apparently Anthony Hopkins watched a video of Charles Manson being interviewed and he didn't blink. Acting at its finest

2. Want to grow a beard faster? - Think about sex. Since facial hair is largely governed by the production of testosterone, even the anticipation of sex will help you grow a beard faster.

3. Overdosing on chocolate- a lethal overdose of chocolate is 22 pounds- or 40 Hershey's bars.

4. Cleopatra- Apparently she lived closer in time to the moon landing than to the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza.

5. Giraffes- a male giraffe will headbutt a female in the bladder until she urinates, then taste her urine to determine whether she is ovulating.

6. Goosebumps- Dead people can still get them. Creepy.

7. Honey- It does not spoil. You could probably still eat 3000 year old honey if you wanted to.

8. McDonald's- McDonald's calls frequent buyers of their food "heavy users".

9. Mosquitoes- It would take 1,200,000 mosquitoes, each sucking once, to completely drain the average human of blood.

10. Plastic surgery- Worldwide, the United States undergoes the most plastic surgery procedures. Next in line is Mexico. (note by Ducky: the pic is scary ass...)

11. Porn- Surprise, surprise. For every "normal" web page, there are five porn pages.

12. Sleeping- You burn more calories sleeping than you do watching television.

13. Southern Sea Otters- These cute creatures have flaps of skin under their forelegs that act as pockets. When diving, they use these pouches to store rocks and food.

14. Turtles- Turtles can breathe through their butts.

15. Twitter- Were you aware that the CIA reads about five million tweets a day?

--------------
there are pics for each but I ain't copying/pasting them here (the turtle one was cute and the plastic surgery one was...scary). The Twitter one I knew but imho I doubt they care all that much what they read except to watch for terrorism or federal crimes type tweets.

As for #12...If that's true why haven't I lost weight damnit!

Interesting fact ;) - of all the above, I happened to knew that honey never ever spoil :)

I find the facts in the article interesting, each one in its own way.
True, they might be not quite handy (except for honey, maybe)
but if you ever find yourself competing in Jeopardy or other trivia-like game, you never know what might come useful..
