Useless facts we don’t need to know

Take the current outside temperature...in degrees Kelvin!...divide it by your age in dog years...add 46...and then triple that number.

This figure will always be equal to the number of snail eggs hatching in your aquarium on the day you do the calculation.

Amazing but true! Don't believe me? It's easy to check for yourself...

To save yourselves a heap of wasted time and disappointment, damn you John, I've just discovered that his calculation only works if you have snails to start off with, lol.

An astonishing fact that totally blows my brains. There are more stars in the universe than there are grains of sand on every beach or desert on our planet.

Apparently there’s 7 sextillion grains of sand in the world

Apparently there’s 7 sextillion grains of sand in the world

......and apparently 70 septillion stars in the universe, that equates to about 10000 stars for every grain of sand on earth. Mind-blowing!

Who comes up with this stuff, and how they can get even remotely close on numbers is astonishing.

But one thing's for sure, the universe is bigger than anything the human brain can even comprehend, so I don't doubt these figures for one moment, I'm just in awe, lol.

In late 1800s, the king of Ethiopia ordered 2 electric chairs as humane punishment. Once he got them he had no place to plug them in - Ethiopia had no electricity.

Well that would indeed ensure that they were a humane punishment, lol.

What did he do, just sit the criminals in the chairs and wait for them to die of old age, lol.

Oranges are green when ripe but are "shocked" to lose chlorophyll. Thus, they appear orange. Outside the U.S. most oranges are green.
