    That wee snippet disqualifies itself on account of being potentially quite useful.

    This, also: A group of hippos is called a "bloat." threatens to be useful if deployed with carefully malicious intent.

    There a lot of 'facts' about sneezing huh
    And apparently, when sneezing, your eyelids will close involuntarily, otherwise you may pop your eyeballs out.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    ...don't tell the government - they'll legislate against them

    F1 racing cars can travel upside down at 70mph. The suction from the skirts (downforce) is so strong, it 'sticks' them to the ceiling...

    The gravitational acceleration varies with your position on the planet due to differences in density of mass of the earths crust, mantle and core.
    It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

    That's not a useless fact, that's one method they use to find oil.

    Ok hotshot - I'd like to see you utilise the fact that there's a variation in the region of +/- 0.02 m/s^2 on a figure of ~9.8 m/s^2 somewhere in your daily doings - besides hassling me that it is used for something highly specific.

    Hmm... you are right, it's pretty hard to find an everyday application. Impossible really. Yep ok.

    This reads more like the thread of "Bullshit Urban Legends" than actual facts, useless or otherwise.
