Useless Information

[knapplc]

- Hitler and Napolean both only had one testicle.

I doubt this fact.

I didn't say any of it was fact. I got these out of "The Book of Useless Information" which I got for Christmas. I'm about 50 pages into it and these are the ones I found most interesting (or funny). Here's a link reaffirming this claim:

I think Attila the Hun was only speculated as being a dwarf. I didn't research it before I posted it. Supposedly, it was mentioned in "The Encyclopedia of Amazing and Fascinating Facts"... however reputable that is.

I know the one about Debra Winger is correct, so maybe they all are. I've just never heard that about Attila.

It might very well be wrong. It was also stated in the book that sqirrels couldn't get rabies. I didn't think that was possible so I googled it and sure enough, even though it's extremely rare for squirrels to get rabies, it is possible. Now I'm going to have to google every damn thing in this book to see if it's true or not.

Attila's (not Atilla) contempories have described him as being small in stature but his exact size is unknown as far as I'm aware.

You know what? That was an exceptionally nice way of you telling me there was already a similar thread started.

My bad. A "useless info" thread and a "Did you know?" thread are essentially the same thing, so feel free to lock this one in favor of the other. I'm kind of ticked off at my new book anyway.

Sharks can't swim backwards.

Also, if sharks stop swimming they'll die because for their gills to work, they have to have water flowing through them.

Except for Nurse Shraks who live on the bottom of the ocean and can pump the water through there Gills

That's not true for all sharks. Nurse sharks, carpet sharks and other bottom feeding sharks spend most of their time resting on the ocean floor.

He was a midget. I used to push him around in the sixth grade. Loud mouth punk he was. Always trying to cheat on my math tests as well.
