Not sure if this one has been said :

It is legal to murder a Scotsman inside the ancient walls of York(England) but only if he/she is wielding a bow and arrow.

Tell me a useless fact that you know, but first hear mine!
The first creature sent to space was the fly, specifically the fruitfly,

Useless fact...

Everybody dies.

But what about the people that DON'T die?

Thigmomorphogenesis is a scientific theory in which plants will go based on contact or the vibration of nearby air. A plant will change how it grows based on the location and type of contact(If the leaves are affected, they will grow larger, if the stem is affected, it will grow wider and shorter). It is also not recognized as a word by dictionary.com, and has only had a single scientific test run to verify the results, done in 1979.

bit of a weird question but have you ever seen turtles at it (not in a crazy weird way) but it's just so funny

ACtually in grade 7, we went on a field trip to Science North in Sudbury. They had tons of animals and one of the exhibits was turtles. Although they were going at it :/ Very lazily I might add. But anyways we took a bunch of pictures and on the way back home the Teachers deleted all of them... But it's burned in my memory.

I bet the teacher secretly saved them and looked at them for a laugh when he/she got home...

yes...laughed...

Statistics show that only 53% of people actually believe those statistics

Ok, here it is.

Everybody dies.

Surprisinq fact: 99% of deaths in the United States are caused by dyinq.

even accepting this as hilarious forum chatter, what would cause the other 1%? please, you made my head hurt.

Heh heh. The other 1% is caused by already beinq dead. For example, both Abraham Lincoln's and Teddy Roosevelt's deaths were caused by already beinq dead.

problem solved

Hitler loved animals.......I think? Well i know he killed his dog because he thougt the Reds would torture it.

I'm sorry, but I have to ask: why are all your 'g's and 'q's switched?

Written lisp. I've been developinq it for a lonq time, and it is nearly always habit. Try makinq one yourself, it is pretty fun.

Also, random fact! Tachyons are theoretical particles that travel backwards throuqh the space-time continuum. Mention these in a metaphysics talk and you will either be thrown out, lauqhed at, or iqnored.

its true i tried it once althouqh to be honest it wasnt really a metaphysics debate i was just askinq my friend what kind of drink i should order

The U.S. Constitution was made from hemp (pot). I found that thoroughly useless but interesting.

How does this work?

Not a damn clue, but I normally cant even gargle mouthwash. If I clench my thumb in my fist, I can stick my fingers down my throat no problem until I cant get any more finger-depth.

aww wtf? i justt tried that! yeah how the hell does that work?

In the television show, The Big Bang Theory, the elevator in Leonard and Sheldon's apartment building is always out of order because it costs too much to run it every episode.

i also love how the show explains why it is out of order.


yeah i can't think of any others.
