Ok, there's this old guy who works the registers at my local Coles, and I have to avoid him as he just spews useless facts at you the whole time. Drives me wild but heck, he thinks he's funny. Anyway, I was at the bank this arvo and up to the teller he comes, hands over his money and proceeds start hammering the useless facts at the teller!!

So I thought we needed a useless facts thread here!

Did you know that you are more likely to be killed by a falling vending machine than by a shark!

Did you know that rainbow flavoured paddle pops aren't actually made of real rainbows. They just bulk up cheap pixie dust with artificial colorings.

In the spring of 1975, a baby in Detroit fell 14 stories and landed on Joseph Figlock, who was walking below. A few years later it happened again. Figlock and both babies survived.

A chameleon's tongue is as long as its body and head and can shoot it out as fast as sixteen feet per second.

Many Japanese golfers carry "hole-in-one" insurance, because it is traditional in Japan to share one's good luck by sending gifts to all your friends when you get an "ace." The price for what the Japanese term an "albatross" can often reach $10,000.

Absolute zero is −273.15 °C. Scientists have cooled items to within billionths of a degree of this number (at which point particles start exhibiting quantum effects) but cannot get that extra degree to tick over.

Cetaceans, inch for inch, have the biggest dorks. Just so you know, a dork is the actual name for a whale’s penis. So the next time a person calls you a dork, they’re calling you a whale penis. At any rate, the blue whale is known to have the largest penis. It is also capable of maneuvering on its own while trying to reach the female’s vagina. The largest ever measured on a specimen reached 8 feet. Holy dorks Batman!
