Trivia: Excellent and Guaranteed Useless

[Juggler]

For those who might want to escape weighty discussions elsewhere on the Forum, here's a stab at truly meaningless information. Please post yours here, subject to only two criteria:

• It must be really interesting
• It must be totally useless.

Here's my candidate :

Where's "sodi-pop"?

[Amy Probenski]

Wonderful. I found one also for you guys and I think it fits the bill as interesting while useless: Charlie Chaplin illusion. I hope everybody had a nice Labor Day holiday.

[needler]

While not TOTALLY useless, this one is a favorite of mine 'cause it's just so SILLY! I must admit I have spent the last 61 years of my life not giving a fiddler's fig for the periodic table of elements. I have NEVER required that knowledge in my day to day living, and DON'T say anything about how we NEED the table, or we all SHOULD know all these factoids before we can lead full and happy lives....bushwah! Go here, push the button, sit back and enjoy!! Chemist, physicist, astrologer (I KNOW, I KNOW!), astronomer, podiatrist, dermatologist or even proctologist...you're gonna LOVE this!

Finally. A web site that solves a vexing practical problem.

www.marryourdaughter.com

Why didn't I think of this?

[callyinva]

At first I thought it was a joke.

Hope there is a filtering of the crackpots and perverts that would have a field day with that. Wonder how they figure what the price is. one poor girl only 5,000. Maybe it is me but sounds like sleazy parents trying to make a buck.

[Wise One]

That web site is a scam.

I met my first wife that way.

It turned out she was 15!
When they specifically said she was 13 1/2.

And I never got my $35,000 back.

A very clever German video prank.

Here are all the classic ladies of art, morphed together. A marvelous creation.
And this is excellent, if not exactly useless. It illustrates a serious side of reality in a most interesting way.

I'm breaking the rules, because I find this tip wonderfully useful.

My wonderful girlfriend and I had been dating for over a year, and so we decided to get married.

There was only one little thing bothering me... It was her beautiful younger sister.

My prospective sister-in-law was twenty-two, wore very tight miniskirts, and generally was bra-less. She would regularly bend down when she was near me, and I always got more than a nice view. It had to be deliberate because she never did it when she was near anyone else.

One day her "little" sister called and asked me to come over to check the wedding invitations.

She was alone when I arrived, and she whispered to me that she had feelings and desires for me that she couldn't overcome. She told me that she wanted me just once before I got married and committed my life to her sister.

Well, I was in total shock, and couldn't say a word.

She said, I'm going upstairs to my bedroom, and if you want one last wild fling, just come up and get me."

I was stunned and frozen in shock as I watched her go up the stairs.

I stood there for a moment, then turned and made a beeline straight to the front door. I opened the door, and headed straight towards my car.
Lo and behold, my entire future family was standing outside all clapping!

With tears in his eyes, my father-in-law hugged me and said, "We are very happy that you have passed our little test. We couldn't ask for better man for our daughter. Welcome to the family!"

And the moral of this story is: Always keep condoms in your car.

The price of postage is going up again, in May.

Damn. But the interesting thing is that, corrected for inflation, it is still about the same as in 1913! Who would have guessed?
