My whole office have gone for their xmas lunch, and i've been lumped with minding the office in case anything happens, so i thought I'd let you all in on a few useless facts.

1. Annually 17 tons of gold is used to make wedding rings in the United States

2. As an iceberg melts, it makes a fizzing sound because of the compressed air bubbles popping in the ice.

3. Every U.S. bill regardless of denomination costs just 4 cents to make

4. The Chinese politician Mao Zedong refused to ever brush his teeth and instead just washed his mouth with tea.

5. Australian Graham Barker extracted his own belly button fluff every day for 18 years acquiring a record-breaking amount of fluff. He hopes to accumulate enough fluff to stuff a pillow

6. 53% of women in America would dump their boyfriend if they did not get them anything for Valentine's Day.

7. A headache and inflammatory pain can be reduced by eating 20 tart cherries

8. In 1888, Hollywood was founded by Harvey and Daeida Wilcox, who named the city after their summer home in Chicago.

9. Research indicates that plants grow healthier when they are stroked.

10. Hair is made from the same substance as fingernails

there's only a few there from HUNDREDS...

Pray I don't stay bored for the rest of the afternoon :D
 
and if you are a one in a thousand kinda guy in China, there are 1.3 million people just like you...

97% of all $100 bills contain traces of cocaine.

The Latin name for a rat is rattus rattus.

Wahey!

Right- lets see who can get the most useless fact of all...

rattus rattus is at number 2 (cause I thought the plant stroking thing was a bit odd to be honest :D)
 
You've come to the right girl for useless facts:

Built in 1967, the world’s only flying saucer launching pad is in St. Paul, Alberta, Canada.

If we were to up-turn the Millennium Dome at Greenwich, London, it would take 3.8 billion half-liters of beer to fill it up.

And most women prefer poison as their method of murder. They like the fact it makes them a passive murderer.

It takes 2533 licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop.
 
a cockroach has two brains, one in its head and one in its a$$.

If you cut the head of a cockroach, it can live up to thirty days but will eventually die of thirst.

Cockroaches taste like almonds.
