Okay you all.....
After having a tough week last week I am wanting to hear all your useless facts that you can think of.
Here is my first useless fact....
The name of all the continents end with the same letter that they start with.
LOL!
Here's one for ya...
Mosquitoes have 47 teeth[/quote]
(judging by the size/swellings from the bites, lsraeli mosquitos must have VERY BIG teeth)
An electric Japanese toilet seat newly available in the US offers deluxe comforts including heating, a water spray, fan and antibacterial glazing- all for only US$800.

I used to live in Japan, and let me tell you, those toilet seats are something else! Pretty cool. - With all these button controls on each armrest (yes, armrests). We called them "Star Trek" toilets. I have to say, though, there is something a little disconcerting about getting up in the middle of a cold winter's night and sitting on a warm toilet seat. Nice, I guess, but disconcerting. :)
Now now...I did remember all 7 continents, but only listed the 5 that started and ended with the same letter. I was just saying I hope I remember all of them so I can answer. SHeesh! LOL!
Here's my useless fact for the day....
Money isn't made out of paper; it's made out of cotton.
And the reason why it's useless? Because we don't care what it is made out of, just as long as we have it!! LOL!

Really Ani...it really happens? Shows you what I really don't know.
Another very useless fact...
Typewriter is the longest word that can be made using the letters only on one row of the keyboard.
Juliana....we lived in Japan too---before the toilet seats were heated, I suppose....but you made me laugh when you called them, "Star Trek" seats! :)
Good words to use to describe them!!!!! (Just had to tell you that... )

According to the website! I just googled fun useless facts.
Another one:
Stewardesses (sp?) is the longest word you can type just using the left hand. (I would assume this is assuming you type with your hands in the proper position)

So I just googled the Japanese toilet seat! I'm a little frightened of all those buttons! ;)
look funny... fun useless fact to add..
Slugs have four noses;
When possums are playing possum, the are not really playing. They actually pass out from sheer terror.
:)
I didn't know that about opossums! I always thought they were just playing around to look dead so predators would leave them alone.

Oh Linny so true about possums. Dh cornered one in our shed and it came at him. All turned out okay for dh but not so for the possum.

When were you in Japan? When I was there ('93-'95) most of the seats were not the "Star Trek" seats, of course, most were normal. (normal for Japan, anyway.) I thought it was interesting that with all that technology and "advanced" standard of living, the public toilets were often still "squatters" - just holes in the ground of not very clean places. With no toilet paper. I quickly learned why they hand out those tissue packets (with advertisements on them) at all the train stations!! Very useful.
