Useless Trivia!

There is a type of burned-out star called a "Magnetar". They're very hot, and are composed almost exclusively of iron formed by burning oxygen and carbon in the final fusion stage of their existence. They spin many times a second, have ferocious magnetic fields, and can suck the iron out of your blood from a thousand light-years away!
 
Did you know that Jackie Gleason once lost alot of weight by locking himself in a room (bedroom maybe?) and only ate saltine crackers and drank water? True story....
 
Legend has it that 'The Finger' originated during the Hundred Years' War as a symbol of defiance from English archers to French soldiers, who would cut off the middle finger as it was needed to use the English longbow. But in fact it originated in Ancient Greece as a derogatory gesture meaning anal intercourse and meant to degrade, intimidate, and threaten the one receiving the gesture.
 
Did you know that catfish have over 27,000 taste buds? (What could be so tasty at the bottom of a pond?) *Shrugs*
 
^ Never too late to discuss condoms....^

Did you know that the first condoms in the US were made from vulcanized rubber in the 1870s? Yep, sure 'nuff. And they were expensive and annoyingly thick and meant to be reused!


(Which reminds me of a joke: Do you know how to reuse a "used" condom? You turn it wrong side out and shake the fuck out of it!)

*Bows and curtsies* Yes, folks! I'll be here all week!
 
^ A Scottish Fusilier walks into an Edinburgh apothecary and strides up to the counter. He produces a well-worn rubber and says he'd like to have it vulcanized. The wary pharmacist dons a pair of neoprene gloves and, with a pair of forceps, picks up the prophylactic and examines it. Stretched woefully out of shape, it has holes and bulges all over it. "My God, man, we can do that - but it'd cost, surely, thirty pounds - and you can get three for a quid and have change coming!" The soldier takes back the condom and says, "I need to have a conversation", and leaves. The next day he returns and is served by the same pharmacist. He looks him square in the eye and solemnly says, "The Rrregiment has voted to purchase another!" ^
 
Did you know that Ken, Barbie’s boyfriend, debuted in 1961? Unfortunately, they split up on Valentine’s Day 2004. :( Bummer!
