The useless trivia thread

[pin]

Post useless tidbits of information. Make sure they're factual. Funny is good but not nessesary.

Example: Did you know that the bombadeer beetle can shoot a superheated liquid out of its anus to defend itself from preditors.

NICE!! Did not know that.

Marijuana was not illegal in the United States until October 1, 1937, when Congress passed the "Marijuana Tax Act". Total debate time on the House of Representatives floor concerning this issue: 90 seconds. This act did not actually ban the substance - it simply said that one could not sell marijuana without a license. Of course, Congress refused to issue any licenses. Congress finally banned marijuana outright in 1970.

Also The US in particular, and the world in general, no longer adheres to a gold standard. The last major attempt to do so was Bretton Woods which collapsed in 1971.


Just saying

The Desert tortoise's main defense is the excrete ALL the fliuds in it body in a stank urine when attacked

Your mouth slows production of bacteria-fighting saliva when you sleep, which allows the 10 billion bacteria in your mouth to reproduce all night; "morning breath" is actually bacterial B.O.
