These were found at www.caughtatwork.net
It's a great site!! LOL!

I bring to you...USELESS FACTS!!!!

-There are 293 ways to make change for a dollar.
-Los Angeles's full name is "El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reina de los Angeles de Porciuncula". And can be abbreviated to 3.63% it's size in the word "LA"
-The only real person to be a Pez was Besty Ross.
-When the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers play football at home, the stadium becomes the state's third largest city.
-A goldfish has a memory span of three seconds (hence why it always seems to run into the side of the bowl v.v;;;;)
-In England, the Speaker of the House is not allowed to speak.
-The microwave was invented after a researcher walked by a radar tube and a chocolate bar melted in his pocket.
-"Stewardesses" is the longest word typed with only the left hand.
-The "dot" over the letter i is called a tittle
-The most common name in the world is Mohammed.
-Michael Jordan makes more money from NIKE annually than all of the NIKE factory workers in Malaysia combined.

I love this one:

-"Spiral staircases in medieval castles are running clockwise. This is because all knights used to be right-handed. When the intruding army would climb the stairs, they would not be able to use their right hand which was holding the sword because of the difficulties of climbing the stairs. Left-handed knights would have no troubles, except left-handed people could never become knights because it was assumeed that they were descendants of the devil."

-The longest place name still in use is: Taumatawhakatangihangaoauauotam-eteaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokai-whenu a kitanatahu. A New Zealend Hill.

-The sentence, "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog," used every letter in the alphabet.

-The name Wendy was made up for the book "Pet Pan"

-111,111,111x111,111,111=12,345,678,987,654,321

-When Heinz ketchup leaves the bottle, it travels at a rate of 25 miles per YEAR.

LOL! There is my fountain of useless knowledge, borrowed from the site "www.caughtatwork.net", one of the most awesome sites on the internet! Heheheheheheheheheee.....

Joyous, is it not?

Now you too, can annoy friends.
