useless facts

My favorite facts are the useless type. Stupid facts that, when told to a crowd of people, is met with a strange kind of polite laughing and a quick subject change.

Things like:

- In eighteenth-century London you could purchase insurance against going to Hell.

- If Roman women wanted to be blonde, they bleached their hair with pigeon droppings.

- Grapes explode when you put them in the microwave.

Link to more useless facts.
