Those who know me know I tend to be full of useless information. Now I’m not talking information that would come in handy if I were on Jeopardy, I mean completely useless stuff. I don’t know where I aquire this information, i just seem to obtain it along the way. Well, i obtained some more tonight. I found this site of strange things and so I thought I would share it. The list isn’t very long, topping out at 29, but interesting none the less.
Some of my favorites are:

1. A rat can last longer without water than a camel.
14. Astronauts are not allowed to eat beans before they go into space because passing wind in a spacesuit damages them.
17. Bruce Lee was so fast that they actually had to s-l-o-w film down so you could see his moves. That’s the opposite of the norm.
25. Charlie Chaplin once won third prize in a Charlie Chaplin look-alike contest.

This one just gives me a good laugh and a little mental playback from Boondock Saints.

20. The phrase “rule of thumb” is derived from an old English law which stated that you couldn’t beat your wife with anything wider than your thumb.
