I know more useless trivia than just about anyone. It does come in handy sometimes, but recently I came across some more useless tidbits I did not know. Hey, you never know when you may be at a party and these little jewels will come in handy to keep the conversation interesting or strange!!!
Did You Know?
- Eggplants aren't vegetables they're really fruits.
- Ben and Jerry's sends the waste from making ice cream to local pig farmers to use as feed.
- Most alcoholic beverages contain all 13 minerals necessary to sustain human life
- Each year, 24,000 Americans are bitten by rats
- Bats always turn left when exiting a cave
- There are more bacteria in your mouth than there are people in the world
- Every time you sneeze some of your brain cells die
- Google is actually the common name for a number with a million zeros
- If the population of China walked past you in single file, the line would never end because of the rate of reproduction
- If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle; if the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle; if the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural cause. (Actually I knew this one too.)
- Giraffes have no vocal cords
- Mosquitoes have teeth
- Q is the only letter in the alphabet that does not appear in the name of any of the United States
- Texas is also the only state that is allowed to fly its state flag at the same height as the U.S. flag (This is one of my little tidbits to impress out-of-towners). HA!. After all these years, found out this was an urban legend...see below.
- The electric chair was invented by a dentist
- The first toilet ever seen on television was on "Leave It To Beaver."
- When you blush, the lining of your stomach also turns red
- Apples, not caffeine are more likely to wake you up in the morning
