Ultimate useless knowledge!
I'm not sure if these are examples of "useless knowledge" or trivia, or just someone with far too much time on their hands. I do know they made me chuckle and that improves the quality of my life! I hope you enjoy them too

'Lollipop' is the longest word typed with your right hand.
No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange,
silver, or purple.
'Dreamt' is the only English word that ends in the letters 'mt'.
Our eyes are always the same size from birth, but our nose and ears never stop growing.
The sentence, 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog' uses every letter of the alphabet.
The words 'racecar,' 'kayak' and 'level' are the same whether they are read left to right or right to left. (palindromes).
There are only four words in the English language which end in 'dous': tremendous, horrendous, stupendous, and hazardous.
There are two words in the English language that have all five vowels in order: 'abstemious' and 'facetious.'

A cat has 32 muscles in each ear.
A goldfish has a memory span of three seconds. (How does anyone test this????)
A 'jiffy' is an actual unit of time for 1/100th of a second.
A shark is the only fish that can blink with both eyes.
A snail can sleep for three years.
Almonds are a member of the peach family.
An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.
February, 1865 is the only month in recorded history not to have a full moon.
Leonardo Da Vinci invented the scissors.
Peanuts are one of the ingredients in dynamite!
Rubber bands last longer when refrigerated.
The average person's left hand does 56% of the typing.
The cruise liner, QE2, moves only six inches for each gallon of diesel it burns.
The microwave was invented after a researcher walked by a radar tube and a chocolate bar melted in his pocket.
There are more chickens than people in the world.
Women blink nearly twice as much as men.
Now you know more than you did -- and aren't you glad!?
