Useless Knowledge!

The lowest grossing film of all time was called Zyzzyx road, it got 30$ of sales. Everyone(all 6 people) who went to see it even got refunded.
 
Coca-Cola was originally a patent medicine (snake oil).

In Ohio it is illegal to get a fish drunk.

In Georgia (methinks) a giraffe cannot be tied to a telephone pole.

Nintendo was founded before electronics, let alone video games, were invented. It originally sold playing cards.

The human brain is only capable of performing two unrelated tasks at once.

In the early 1900s (before 1912) a novel was released about an unsinkable ship sinking. Its name? The Titan.

Classical mythology has no less than five wind gods.

The Chinese used paper armor into the 18th century.

Shurikens were rarely star-shaped.

Zebras are black with white stripes.

Early vampires had forked tounges.

Ain't is a word: it's in the dictionary.

George Washington was the only unanimously elected president.

A teacher told me once that there are no words in the dictionary that rhyme with orange, purple, and silver. The closest I got was purple/verbal but close doesn't cut it.

those are really cool facts i never knew that
 
1. Some Kindergartens now teach children to sing "bah bah rainbow sheep" instead of "bah bah black sheep" cos the later was considered racist.
2. Bulls with a large penis are more fertile than bulls with a small penis.
3. In some cow breeds if a cow has a boy and a girl twin then the girl will always be infertile however the problem doesn't occure in other types of twins i.e. if the same cow had twin girls or twin boys then both calves will have the same fertility rate as other calves.

The word “Galaxy” comes from the Greek word for “milk”.

I've heard that and that is how the milky way and galaxy tie together.
OHIO'S DUMB LAWS:
It is illegal to fish for whales on Sunday. Obviously we can do that in a lake.

*I'm not sure if this is still uninforced.

Akron Ohio
It is illegal to display colored chickens for sale. (Awwww)

Bexley Ohio:
Ordinance number 223, of 09/09/19 prohibits the installation and usage of slot machines in outhouses. (no gambling while waiting)

Canton Ohio
If one loses their pet tiger, they must notify the authorities within one hour. (Cos' those are legal right?)

I'm positive this is a lie.

Traveling at 186,000 miles a second, light takes 6 hours to travel from the Earth to Pluto and 4 billion years from the farthest visible star to us. So, when we look at that star we are looking 4 billion years into the past.

If a glass of water were as big as the Earth, the molecules would be as big as a large orange.

It is legal to murder a Scotsman within the ancient walls of the city of York, England, if he is carrying a bow and arrow.

In Sedona, Arizona, it is illegal to lie about your astronomical sign.

In Britain, it is illegal to stand within one hundred yards of the reigning monarch when not wearing socks.

In Australia, it is illegal to name an animal you plan to eat.

Each year since 1929, Burlington, Wisconsin has held a contest to find the city's best liar.

In Huacho, Peru, breeders enter their guinea pigs in beauty contests and races. The winners are awarded a prize. The losers, are eaten.

Hawaii has the highest rate of spam consumption.

Thats the only one I pull off the top of my head, might comeback later with more.
 
Recently here in Arizona, it officially became illegal to create a human/animal fusion.
