What's your favourite "useless" fun fact?

sadcat13 May 24th

A lot of us know a random piece of specific information that we can't really do anything with, but still are very proud of and cant wait to get an opportunity to share it with others. Mine is that sunflowers are used to help clean up soil contaminated by radiation as they have the ability to take up the toxic and radioactive materials from the soil and store it in their tissue. ๐ŸŒป๐ŸŒป๐ŸŒป

How about you? What is your favourite useless fun fact? ๐Ÿ˜Š

@sadcat13 Yes. That's why cowboy boots have those stacked heels: in order to hold the rider's feet in place when he puts them in the stirrups.

In the state of Arizona, it is illegal to lick toads. The reason is because one of their native species secretes a liquid on its back when wounded or otherwise harassed, & that liquid has psychoactive properties. (In plain English, it gets you high & makes you see strange things)

@slowdecline48 in the UK it's illegal to handle salmon suspiciously๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

So I read, further up. What I wanna know is, what qualifies as "handling a salmon suspiciously"? Does it involve doing something with the fish for which you'd likely get arrested for in public, or...? ๐Ÿ˜œ

The fact that such laws exist says a lot about people, or perhaps a certain percentage of people... After all, as a comedian once said years ago:

"Before you can have a law, you gotta have a problem."

Fun fact: Your foot is as long as your forearm. The heel rests in the crease of your elbow and your big toe (or middle toe for those of us with Mortons Toe *shoutout*) rests right where your wrist is...

@SpiritTea I did not know that!๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

slowdecline48 July 10th

@SpiritTea No doubt, but to place your foot on your forearm...you'll have to be mighty flexible to pull that off! Sounds like something an Indian yogi would do...
