The random fact thread

It has occurred to me that people always seem to know many weird and wonderful thing's, So i thought i'd give you all a place to post you random fact's and any useless information you have.
It can be literally anything, about anyone or anything, I'll give you a few to start the ball rolling......

A Saudi Arabian woman can get a divorce if her husband doesn't give her coffee

Every time you lick a stamp, you're consuming 1/10 of a calorie.

In every episode of "Seinfeld" there is a Superman somewhere.

Sherlock Holmes never said "Elementary, my dear Watson."

In the movie "Casablanca," Humphrey Bogart never said "Play it again, Sam."

Get the idea........

I've heard of those I just quoted before, the others I did not. Actually I believe the superman figure in his appartment takes care allot of those episoses as everyone pretty much shows them chatting in there at least once per show. What about the episode where they got lost at the mall? Where was the superman then?

Couldn't answer that, mainly because Seinfeld is one of the worst programs i've ever seen, So i don't really watch it that often, That little nuggett of info came fron a m8 of mine...

Beside's, You have missed the point of the thread, It's somewhere to post those random or useless thing's people tell you, i'm a lorry driver and i speak to a lot of people every day and i'm alway's being given useless information mainly by bored storeman or receptionist's that have nothing better to do than sit on the internet all day! It's only a bit of fun, don't take it so seriously!!

I never missed the point of the thread at all. I was curious and figured I'd ask for the hell of it. Side questions and discussions do come up in threads under certain topics now and then.

they began that show in Jerry's apartment

Ahh ok. Was always so sure it began in a parkade.

A pregnant goldfish is called a twit.

One of the reasons marijuana is illegal today is because cotton growers in the 1930's lobbied against hemp farmers -- they saw it as competition. It is not as chemically addictive as is nicotine, alcohol, or caffeine.

The phrase "rule of thumb" is derived from an old English law which stated that you couldn't beat your wife with anything wider than your thumb.

In Alaska, it's against the law to throw a moose out of a moving Airplane.

I happen to rule
