Back by popular demand - more worthless information!


A friend of mine left a comment on my Facebook page telling me that 95 percent of Americans can't run for 30 minutes straight. That little factoid prompted me to bring you another installment of worthless trivia.

According to a report, 95 percent (I know, another 95 percent, what are the odds?) of all returned gadgets actually work.

Never get into a land war with Asia.

Never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line!

There are four breeds of dog that those allergic to dogs can actually have - and it's because they have hair instead of fur. Three of the breeds are dachshund, schnauzer, and poodle. I forgot what the fourth is. (Hey, I said I was full of worthless information, I didn't say I knew everything.)

Sesame Street has been on the air for 40 years. However, it's nowhere near as cool as it used to be. Regressing instead of progressing.

Birds are a distant relative to dinosaurs. That means those irritating birds that poop on your car are actually dinosaurs. Even more reason to get pissed off since they are supposed to be EXTINCT!

Ladybugs are a type of beetle. You can determine their age by their color. Yellowish/orange means a younger bug, red is an adult.

The first of the University of Kentucky men's basketball team's 2000+ wins was in 1903 against Lexington YMCA. Yep, had a horribly tough schedule back in the day, huh?

Approximately 60 percent of newborns have jaundice at some level. Humana does not cover it. What kind of shit is that?

Lightning bugs light up to tell other creatures that they are bitter. Unfortunately for them, that defense mechanism doesn't work for kids in summertime - they aren't interested in eating them, just trapping them in mayonnaise jars.

There are 110 million red roses sold on Valentine's Day in America every year.

Live-bearing fish (like guppies, mollies and platys) can hold sperm in their bodies for up to six months, so you can get baby fish without a male in your tank for a long time.

Maybe it's a cruel joke, but baby fish are called fry. Fish fry. Hahahahaha.

That's it for today... if you missed the prior installment, click here.
