Useless Information

very nice--very nice!

is a "penis fly trap" what happens when a guy zips too quickly?

oh you all are so clever!! love it! won't be able to see a venus fly trap or hear about one without a totally different visual!!

Careful though, don't want this fun thread to get pulled. :o(

We'll behave! LOL
Madam I'm Adam.

Able was I ere I saw Elba.

Let's see...useless info...

The ancient Persians used to make scorpion bombs.
Bubonic plague was the first germ warfare agent.
Capt. Kirk and Commander Ryker both have the same middle name.
The black hellebore was used by many nations in the past to poison waterways.

Oooo, I have another!

"Chicago" means "the place of the onions".

So what was their middle name, Celia? It starts with a "T"--I know that much.
Another useless piece of information--I was a big Star Trek fan when it first appeared back in the 60's. I would lock myself in the bedroom and watch it so my kids and hubby couldn't interrupt my viewing pleasure!! LOL

amethystsm: You are too funny!! I'm still laughing over that one.

Tiberius. James T. Kirk and William T. Ryker.

Tiberius was the second Emperor of Rome. He wasn't very popular with the people.

I don't think any of the Roman Emperors were popular with the people---LOL!

I think you're probably right.

Anyone remember what the shape of a box is called? If all sides were equal it would be a cube. If not equal, what would it be?

A rectangular prism, I think.

That would be a 5-sided box.

Check it out:

The link is acting funny, but a cube is a prism, too.

claypa. your fifth grade knowledge is right on. I'm pretty sure that's what they're teaching these days.
who knows- composed of four sides, with opposite sides being parallel, but NOT 90 degree angles inside? (can you picture it)

OK, a cuboid or rectangular box as well.

Parallelepiped - I had to look that one up! But they're six-sided. ? Box shapes were prisms when I was a kid, too.

I don't remember when I wa a kid.....too long ago....

I don't remember when I was a kid.....too long ago.... LOL


Anyone old enough to remember that we spelled the red fruit, tomatoe, and the tuber, potatoe? We put E's on the end.

Dan Quale did.

When I was young on the farm, I was very well acquainted with zerks. Does anyone other than Bubba_MoCity know anything about them?

Grease fittings? Now we have left the realm of useless info!

Good one, trois - lol.

Worked at service stations for 5-6 years - last was a diesel station - lots of them there.

Questions: why does my husband get lint in his navel but I do not? Is this true of all men and women?

hahaha - it's like that here too.

....and why can those lint-filled male navels be sooooo deep? No wonder they collect so much lint.

i also want to know why he can't sneeze quietly - i'll be across the room and jump a foot! it is SO LOUD - and he always says "I can't help it!" but i think he could if he really wanted to.

Good question Marie, my husband could put salsa in there and dip his chips, after cleaning out the lint first. What's up with that? I can barely fit a cotton swab, and I've had 3 kids!

ewww.

OMG!

salsa?!?!?

I can't take the visuals here.

Nancy ~~~~~~~ may never dip a chip again.

okay, maybe it isn't THAT deep, haha, sorry amethystsm.

That's too much cathy4! About that dipping..........'They' always say that the reason that a pregnant woman's navel goes flat, or even becomes an outie, is so that she doesn't have anywhere to keep salt to dip her celery sticks in.

Somebody please tell me that I'm not the only one who has ever heard that.

ROFL - Marie... I NEVER heard that one in my life!

Nancy

{chirp} {chirp}
the sound of crickets, waiting for someone besides Marie to have heard that...
{chirp}

I've heard it, couldn't decide between that and the salsa, lol.

Well, you girls have certainly been good for a laugh this afternoon!! ROTFLOL

I don't know why a man's navel is deeper than a woman's but I have heard that a man's navel is higher up on his abdomen than a woman's navel is.

I always thought a pregnant woman's navel "went flat" because her skin has to stretch so much.

gagaboo, I'm with you--I may never eat salsa, chips nor celery again!!! LOL

marsue,
Don't go to those places where they serve the food on nude bodies, and the salsa, chips and celery will be OK.

Why, Bubba, shame on you!! I'm 66 years old. Nude bodies, indeed!!
wink, wink; grin, grin
