This is not trivia; this is interesting information that won't get you anywhere in life for knowing it. This is also not the Guinness Book of World Records.

What sort of useless facts do you have?

  • Donald Duck's comics were banned in Finland because he doesn't wear pants.
  • George Washington had to borrow money to go to his own inauguration.
  • Mel Blanc, who voiced Bugs Bunny, was allergic to carrots.
  • In the 1983 film Jaws 3D, the shark blows up. Some of the shark guts were stuffed E.T. dolls being sold at the time.
  • In Brian De Palma's 1984 movie Scarface, the F-word is spoken 206 times - an average of once every 29 seconds.
  • Of all the words in the English language, the word set has the most definitions.
  • In Jasmine, Saskatchewan, it is illegal for a cow to moo within 300 kilometers of a private home.
  • In the United States, more Frisbee discs are sold than basketballs, baseballs, and footballs combined.
  • The billionth digit of pi is 9.
  • The electric organs in an electric eel make up four fifths of its body.
  • The Kansas City railroad used to stop their trains so the passengers could shoot at passing buffalo.

Well, if we're sharing life-saving info-

  • In the 1960's, Stanford students performed the "Marshmallow Test" on young children, in which they were given a marshmallow, and told to wait 20 minutes to get another, or eat it whenever, not getting another. Their performances could be used to predict SAT scores.
  • Red Pandas have been recognized as pandas, raccoons, and more in their history.

Yes, there used to be a thread for this.

Samus Aran was named that way because the naming team somehow remembered there was a famous soccer player named "something Arantes" (it's Edson Arantes aka Pelé), they liked the sound of that so they used it: Something became Samus and Arantes became Aran.

Um, that's what triva is. Useless information that won't get you anywhere in life for knowing it. Also, everything you posted is most certainly trivia.

  • on 9/8/2008 in Fresno, California Authorities say they've arrested a man who broke into the home of two California farmworkers, stole money, rubbed one of the men with spices and whacked the other with a sausage before fleeing.
    Fresno County sheriff's Lt. Ian Burrimond says 22-year-old Antonio Vasquez was found hiding in a field wearing only a T-shirt, boxers and socks after the Saturday morning attack.
    He says deputies arrested Vasquez after finding a wallet containing his ID in the ransacked house.
    The farmworkers told deputies the suspect woke them Saturday morning by rubbing spices on one of them and smacking the other with an 8-inch sausage.
    Burrimond says money allegedly stolen was recovered.

This is actually an urban legend. If it was true we probably wouldn't have Moomins either.

  • It's illegal to snooze on a train in West Virginia.
  • (a+b)²= a²+2ab+b²

Strawberries are not really in the berry family and a single strawberry is not one fruit but multiple fruits, each seed or the dots in a strawberry make up one fruit(ovary) so your really eating several fruits agreggated together in a fleshy red substance.

As InternetBowser said, that useless information is even more useless as it is also false information.

Here's useless information:
