Yo ho ho and a bottle of 600 posts and whatnot!

Did you know:

* The inventor of the water closet was named Thomas Crapper? (Ironic!)

* Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour. (Who took the time to find that out..?)

* Los Angeles's full name is: "El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reina de losAngeles de Poriuncula" (I see why they abbreviate it)

* The original name for the Butterfly was a Flutterby. (This explains a lot.)

* The inventor of the monkey wrench was named Charles Moncke. (Imagine being remembered as a simean for inventing one of the most useful tools of all time!)

* Fred loves pointless trivia.

* Cat urine glows when exposed to blacklight. (How did... Why... No, I don't wanna know.)

* Over 4000 people are hurt every year from teapots.

* You are more likely to be killed by a champagne cork than a poisonous spider. (Well thank GOD!)

* More people are afraid of spiders than of death. (I'm one of those.)

* The average speed of Heinz ketchup leaving the bottle is 25 miles per year.

Actually I just googled 'Useless Facts' and read some lists and laughed my butt off. Whether or not it's all actual and factual I don't care too much about. It's amusing :) Which is all that really counts in the end for these things.

I mean, c'mon. If you spend 430 calories an hour banging your head at the wall instead of 150, I rrrrrrrrrreally couldn't care less, lol :D

Anyway - off to work! Later!
