Useless information

[Mups]

How about a fun thread full of useless information?

For example,  here are the first couple of things I bet you will always have wondered about:


1. Did you know that women blink nearly twice as much as men?

2. Also, Giraffes can go longer without water than a Camel can.
 

Please feel free to add more useless information that we don't need.  You never know when it might come in handy.

Once you retire a 10 minute job lasts all day. Sometimes longer. Sometimes before you retire too.
