Top 10 Useless Facts

The Top Ten

  1. Dreamt and its derivatives are the only English words that ends with "mt"

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

    Well, I didn't even know that word existed, and now I know it is unique somehow. That's useful.

  2. A pig's penis is shaped like a corkscrew

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

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

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

  3. "Go" is one of the shortest complete sentences in English

    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.

  4. 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... too funny!

    This is so irrelevant and useless it's funny!

  5. Only female mosquitoes bite

    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 bitten by a mosquito.

    But what's the difference between male and female mosquitoes?

  6. Cat 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 to know this fact.

    Just so you don't get confused, black lights are another term for UV lights.

  7. A rat can't vomit

    This is why poisons are the most effective method for getting rid of rats - they can't expel the poison.

  8. More people use blue toothbrushes than red ones

    Who cares what color your toothbrush is? The most important thing is that it works properly.

    There are many colors of toothbrushes.

    I always use blue toothbrushes.

  9. If you removed the empty space in all human atoms, humanity would fit into a sugar cube-sized volume

  10. In some surveys, only about half of Americans correctly said 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. Since the sun is a star, there are actually 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.

    11. The Newcomers
  11. ?

    Juan Pujol García won decorations from both sides in World War II

    He was a notable figure in German intelligence services during the war, giving them what they believed to be vital information about the Allied forces in Britain. His contributions were so valuable that the German High Command awarded him the Iron Cross, a medal usually reserved for frontline soldiers.

    However, he was secretly a double agent working for the British, misleading the Germans about actual Allied plans. Due to him and other double agents, the Nazis prepared for multiple fictitious invasion attempts while ignoring the actual D-Day landings until it was too late. He received an MBE from King George VI.

  12. ?

    A stock photo of an egg became the most-liked post on Instagram

    It was posted with the sole intention of this happening.

    13. The Contenders

  13. A man raised a lion cub in the 1960s and, years later, the lion hugged him when they reunited

    I actually watched a video about something like this. I thought it was more recent.

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

  14. Conception occurs in December more often than any other month

    This is only because Christmas and New Year's are the ONLY holidays men CAN remember... laugh out loud!

  15. "Knock" is an extremely short horror story of two sentences: "The last man on Earth sat alone in a room. There was a knock at the door"

    Allow me to spoil this 'horror story.' 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 who has thought of this?

  16. Banging your head against a wall burns 150 calories an hour

  17. Your hair contains traces of gold

    Yay! I'm made out of precious metals!

  18. There is a supervolcano in Yellowstone National Park

    Excuse me, I think that's important information! It could explode and cause a national emergency.

  19. All apes laugh when they are tickled

  20. The average person walks the equivalent of about three times around the world in a lifetime

  21. Boxer Sugar Ray Robinson had a premonition he would kill his opponent. When he fought, his opponent Jimmy Doyle later died

    Dreams that predict the future are referred to as precognition. I've had it a few times, but nothing this extreme.

  22. Daffy Duck's middle name is Dumas

    What were the creators thinking!?

    Creators: I KNOW, let's make a name that reminds people of curse words!

    Sounds like Dumbass. That might explain why he acts like a dumbass sometimes (sarcasm).

    I bet they wanted to make people think of curse words.

  23. Komodo dragons have two hemipenes

    So they can mate with two different females? I did not need to know that.

    Um, why? Who would even try to discover that?

    I didn't really need to know that...

  24. When someone says "bite down," you actually bite up because only your lower jaw moves

  25. You can't say "m" without your lips touching; you can say "n" without closing them

    You can say M without your lips touching if you put your finger between them.

  26. A barnacle's penis can be several times longer than its body

  27. There are more life-forms living on your skin than there are people on Earth

    That's weird. Who needs to know that?
