Useless Information

ROFLOL, cpartschick!! This thread is certainly good for a laugh!!

It is good for a laugh. You people are such fun!

Pregnant rabbits will re-absorb their babies if there is too much stress in their lives.

The computers couldn't figure out how chicken is supposed to taste which is why it tastes like everything.

Ahh, Celia, you are just a veritable gold-mine of useless information!!! LOLOL

Just call me 'Cliffy" !

Lol, that is who I thought of.
There is the power of tv for you. I haven't had a tv for 6 years, but you don't forget the classic shows like that one.

24 hours after birth, a porcupine's quills are firm enough to cause some major problems for a dog.
...that thought the little black furry thing was something to carry in his mouth. (you have never truely experienced the joy of pulling quills out of a dog, until you have pulled baby quills out)

No matter how smart a dog is they never learn to leave porcupines alone.

The Ganges River in India is called the Padma once it crosses the border into Bangladesh.

A rectangle is a figure with four sides, opposite sides parallel, and all angles are 90 degress (right angles). A square is a rectangle with all sides equal.
: ^) I had a fifth grader last year.
Uriah Heep is not just a band but a character in Dicken's David Copperfield.
: ^) he's in sixth grade now
Having elementary kids around is usefull for refilling your useless fact reservoir.
I am crammed with useless music lyrics and old TV stuff.

I should know all about classic TV but I haven't a clue about who "Cliffy" is.

Would that be Cliff from 'Cheers'?

Oh, that "Cliff". I certainly know about him! LOL

I think dogs don't care about the skunk smell, just the bath you give them after. I remember a skunk that had sprayed outside the house, I was gagging and couldn't breathe, the dog was "let me at 'em"
You would think with their super senistive nose, that they would be in pain.
Did you know if you take a bottle of poroxide and add a couple tablespoons of antibacterial dish soap. This wash will get rid of the skunk smell. (best solution I have found) Works with only one bath.

Now, cparts, that is USEFULL info, wrong thread, LOL!

I loved the fifth and sixth grade info....reminds me of babysitting my niece and nephew and finding out just how much I've forgotten. I don't know if I'm smarter than a 5th grader, they really stumped me sometimes.

Yup, that Cliffy.

90% of people read e-mails with their hand on the mouse. (Did I catch you? LOL)

Yup...Hand firmly on the mouse.

Great skunk smell remover recipe! You just never know when it's going to come in handy.

Here's something I just learned from this thread (http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/809020/).

Penguins poop is pink. :)

My hand is firmly on the mouse, too. Pink Poop---now there's a conversation starter! LOL

That was/is an interesting thread, TNN.

Hand on the mouse. Ekkkkkkk!

LOLOL,. cpartschick!! Too funny!!☺☺☺

talking about 5th graders--one of the students at our school stopped a teacher in the hall to tell her about his "penis fly trap" plant! she wanted to correct him but couldn't keep a staight face and so just let it go! we all loved that one! --doesn't fit in the useless info but had to share it

oh my gosh.

. . ."out of the mouths of babes". . . LOL



Some useless information I learned today: After the Russian author, Ivan Tergenev, died, "they" weighed his brain and found it set the world's record for the largest human brain (in 1883).

'They' are always such authorities on everything. Too bad that 'They' don't reveal their identities. lol

ROTFLOL "penis fly-trap"!!!!!!!!!

OH, my! After I wipe my eyes, I'll be back with more info! LOL

Ffffffllly tttttrapppp, I am crying. That is the best yet.

No one will correct him. He will be an adult, telling his friends about his plant, they will laugh, thinking he is joking and he will wonder why. He may be 90 and still not know the real name of the plant.

This is not useless information, but after the 'penis fly-trap' I've just got to share this story.

My neighbor is a recently retired 2nd grade teacher, and this is what happened in her classroom.

The students were learning about the seasons, and what time of year each season came around, and the characteristics, etc. So then, she asked all the students with birthdays in the Spring to raise their hands, and so on through Summer, Winter and Fall. One little boy was looking very sad and hadn't raised his hand, so she asked him why he didn't raise his hand. He said that she hadn't called for his season. So she says, well what season were you born in? And he replied......Hunting Season!

LOL LOL LOL--------readers digest story for sure!

More useless stuff...

75% of people don't get their rebate forms sent in if it's less than $10.
Flamingoes get their coloration from the food they eat.
Imelda Marcos had over 200 pairs of shoes.
SCUBA stands for Self-Contained-Underwater-Breathing-Apparatus.
NAVY stands for Never Again Volunteer Yourself.

SNAFU stands for "Situation Normal: All Fouled Up "

Shoot, Oprah has a lot more shoes than that!!! Hundreds more, even.

Did the rest of you guys know that my hair used to be the same color as Celia's? (kwanjin) Now that is really a piece of useless information which I know you wanted to know!!! LOL

Shoot...........my sister probably has as many shoes as both Imelda Marcos and Oprah. too bad that we don't wear the same shoe size.

Did you know.....that following back surgery, or other traumas to the back, that it is easier to climb the stairs if you do it backwards? I don't know why....I just know that it works.

shark is yummy. if only someone could tell me why i could buy it at the supermarket (both fresh and frozen) in St. Louis, but can rarely find it ANYwhere in CT (or even NYC), that would be info i'd like to have!
i think the shark soup someone was talking about was shark fin soup, which is different (like saying "Chicken is gross - i've eaten gizzards."

Alligator tastes like kinda gamy chicken - texture is like chicken. i've never had frog legs - i saw the Muppet Movie in grade school - no thanks!

The post about I. Marcos was supposed to have one more zero.

2000---that's more like it, for Imelda! LOL Who needs that many shoes? You can only wear one pair at a time, anyway?

I absolutely love a good shark's fin soup. However, I have refused to eat it for over 10 years now. Shark fin is harvested from live sharks that are then thrown back into the sea, where they can no longer swim. Presumably, other sharks and fish will finish them off. This is just plain wrong. Additionally, some species of shark are becoming endangered due to over fishing.

Boycotting all shark products could help to keep them from becoming extinct, not to mention the cruelty of hacking the fins off of a live creature and throwing it back into the water to slowly die.

(Off of my soap box now.)

i eat no meat except fish.
i have never had shark's fin soup - it sounds icky even before i read your post.
i won't eat lobster, because anything that must be boiled alive is NOT something i want any part of!

that really is sad about the shark--to destroy a shark for a fin--i will never eat that--i do not eat veal and stopped about 30 years ago when i heard how they get veal

There are so many things that we have really no idea of their background. Who would ever think that an entire animal would be sacrificed for just one of it's parts; shark's fin, rhino horn, ivory, pelts, etc. And we menopausal women had no idea that mare's are kept pregnant and survive in horrid conditions, just so their urine can be used for hormone replacement therapy.

Anyway, I didn't mean to hijack this thread with this unpleasantness. We really should go back to having fun. Any more 'penis fly traps' out there?

Do you know what a PALINDROME is?

It is a word which is spelled the same, whether
forward or backwards. Examples:

reviver
rotator

:-) KM

hannah
radar
Ten animals did slam in a net.
Tarzan raised a Dezi Arnaz rat.
Slap my gym pals.
Dennis and Edna sinned.

can't take credit for them--googled them -don't know what the word is for same forward and backward sentence! now we need one for gardening!

A forward/backward sentence is also considered a palindrome.

One of the most famous is:

A man, a plan, a canal: Panama!
