Top Ten Useless Facts

The Top Ten
1 Dreamt is the only english word that ends with mt

Holy cow! My life is complete now that I know this

Well, I didn't even know the existence of that word, and now I even know that it is unic somehow.
That's usefull

My life is complete now

I dreamt about that

2 Statistically, more people button their shirt upwards

People button upwards because you're less likely to get the buttons and the holes mixed up...

I don't use button shirts, but for me it's easier to button a shirt downwards...

I button downwards and upwards... yeah

I usually button it downwards...

3 A pig's penis is shaped like a corkscrew

I feel like my life's work is complete now that I have heard that random fact!

I really feel sorry for the bloke who had to find that out.

Now I have to look at a pigs underbelly to see if it's true. Great.

What? It's not like I want to commit bestiality with a pig.

4 Go is the shortest complete sentence in the English language

This is an interesting concept, but it might be wrong. A complete sentence has to involve a subject (he's) and a predicate (cool, over there,etc.). A word like "go" or "no" is not a complete sentence since it only implies a subject. Therefore, the shortest complete sentence would have to be "I am." "I" is the subject; "am" is the predicate.

It is the shortest sentence because go is an imperative sentence, meaning it is telling someone to do something. 'You go' is the full sentence, but you do not need 'you', which is the subject, to be added in front of go.

This is not a complete sentence. It has to have a subject. She shortest sentence is actually "I am".

It's actually a short of " off you go " which is the complete sentence.

5 Only female mosquitos bite

Mosquito need blood for their eggs. that's just selfish. Mosquito = Selfish retards who Bite innocent poor people just For their kids to grow up and get Eaten by Froggy.

WHY the heck would I care which ones bite? They're still annoying.

This fact is actually useful if you don't want to get a mosquito bite.

But what's the difference between a male and female mosquito?

6 Most elephants weigh less than a blue whale's tongue

This is so useful... I use this fact every day... And wonder why people ignore me

I feel the world should know that fact...to funny!

This is so irrelevant and useless it's funny!

I don't know this.

7 90% of forks have 4 prongs

This isn't true - 100% of forks have 4 prongs. If it doesn't have 4 prongs, its not a fork.

Obviously. How about one prong? At least if it's a fondue utensil.

8 More people use blue toothbrushes than red ones

Who cares which color your toothbrush is? Most important is that it works properly.

They are many colors of toothbrush.

So...? I have a white and magenta brush.

I always use blue toothbrushes.

9 Cats urine glows under a black light

Useful if you have a diabetic cat, so not that useless. But you don't need it for everyday life.

Um I have Cats and all and I didn't need know to this fact.

Just so you don't get confused, black lights are another word for uv lights...

I think I saw that in a Weird But True book.

10 In 1937 two women wore shorts for the first time out in public and caused a car accident

I don't know who's to blame for this spectacle. The decadent sexist traditionalism of the 1930s or hormones...

Even worse, it's was in Iran... The crash happened because they were angry at the women because they showed there legs

This is hilarious! Does that mean men were driving?

The Newcomers

? A man once died from slipping on a banana peel
The Contenders
11 in 1977, a 13-year-old child found a tooth growing out of his left foot

I feel sorry for that 13 year old... Lots of people are born with a 6th finger or 6th toe but they are removed at birth... Some people have fingers fused together as well...

Imagine the Dentist trying to get the tooth out of that poor child's foot.

This is a cool fact, but, of course, completely useless.

That's pretty creepy... A tooth growing out of a foot?

12 A rat can't vomit

And this is why poisons are the most effective method for getting rid of rats, as they can't expel the poison.

They're sort of lucky, I guess...?

A horse can't either

Neither can you

13 A coat hanger is 44 inches long if straightened

Depends on the size of the coat hanger, or what it's made of.

Who cares about the length of a coat hanger?

Even if they are different sizes?

This is very useless!

14 In the original version of Little Red Riding Hood, the wolf and Red Riding Hood eat Grandma together.

Uhh... Isn't that cannibalism if Red Riding Hood eats her own grandmother (I know it isn't with the wolf since a wolf is a wolf).

Red's a traitor and cannibal!

Cool. Who's next? *Grabs a fork*

That's really disturbing.

15 Only 55% of Americans know the sun is a star.

In the Philippines, we are taught that our flag has three stars, ignoring the fact that there is a sun. The sun is a star so there are four stars in the Philippine flag.

I knew this since I started reading large nonfiction books at the age of 5. How do ADULTS not know this!?

That's sad and weird too. Even weirder than the fact that only female mosquitoes bite.

You're kidding me, right? I'm obsessed with astronomy and knew this since I was three.

16 It is impossible to see with your eyes closed.

I still can see with my eyes closed. A world full of darkness.

I'm so stupid. I never knew that!

I actually watched a video of something like this. I was thinking it was more recently.

I can't be the only person who thought of 'Secondhand Lions' when I heard this.

So inspiring and wow

19 "Knock" is the world's shortest horror story with only two sentences. It goes, "The last man on Earth sat alone in a room. There was a knock at the door."

Allow me to spoil this 'horror story'. You see, it doesn't say that the man in the story is the last person on Earth. It just says he's the last MAN on Earth. So, it could be the last WOMAN on Earth knocking on the door. Am I the only one here who has thought of this?

This is actually creepy.

20 If you were to remove all of the empty space from the atoms that make up every human on Earth, the entire world population could fit in an apple

No, a sugar cube.
