It's time for another Useless Fact!!
Do you know stuff? Stuff that has absolutely no real use or practical application? Then this is the thread for you. I’m sure with all of us combined we have a veritable treasure trove of knowledge. So why not share it with the world, or at least each other?
Let’s see how long we can keep this thread going.

Ok folks, stop trying to lick your elbow and help me out here. I know I can't be the only person who has useless information to share (no wise cracks from you Nayan ).
Anyhoo on to my useless fact …..
It is common knowledge that the word "orange" has no rhyme, but did you know that there is another word in the English language that has no rhyme? That word is "silver".

While Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world it isn't the tallest. Measuring from base to peak Mt Everest is 29,035 ft. But the dormant volcano Mauna Kea (on the Big Island of Hawaii) while only reaching 13,796 ft above sea level measures, from base to peak, at 33,476 ft.

While coca leaves are still used to make Coca Cola, the leaves have all the alkaloids removed. So there is no cocaine in the drink.

In a honey bee community the female bees always outnumber the male bees. No matter what, in any beehive in the world if you divide the number of female bees by the male bees you always get 1.618... Phi.
