Useless trivia can be very informative, interesting and dam funny, so I'll start it off. I used to have this topic on my own forum when I had it running, some posts were amasing grin

Studies show that if a cat falls off the seventh floor of a building it has about thirty percent less chance of surviving than a cat that falls off the twentieth floor. It supposedly takes about eight floors for the cat to realize what is occurring, relax and correct itself.

The ignition point of paper is Farenheight 451.

This is one of the questions in Trivial Pursuit and it did help my team to win a game by remembering it.

I wonder how many cats died in the quest to pin down that bit of trivia?

That reminds me of my uncle rolling his car when he was very drunk. Managed to walk the 20kms home after.

Is it "safer" to be drunk while driving and totally relaxed in a crash or to be sober and tensed up with injuries?

I have been in an head-on where I was sober and nearly had my car wrote off while the other driver could hardly stand. Okay, no injuries as it was low speed but......

Over my early years of driving I have been over the limit. Never been involved in a crash. Probably because I was avoiding them.

All of the crashes I have had have been while I have not had a drink.

Point being "Is it safer to drink and drive?"

When you sneeze, air and particles travel through the nostrils at speeds over100 mph. During this time, all bodily functions stop, including your heart, contributing to the impossibility of keeping one's eyes open during a sneeze. blah

I was born in 66, will be 47 by the end of the year.

Either my maths is wrong, or that fact is.

Meaning if you add your birth year and the number of birthdays you will have by the current year, they will add up to the current year.

I added mine up and ended up with 2013, and it will be 2014 next year.
