The Useless Facts Thread!

I told you a million times, it's hyperbola, not hyperbole!

The Cullen Prime Sequence: 3, 393050634124102232869567034555427371542904833...

Some Nutcase figured out that the second Cullen Prime was 393,050,634,124,102,232,869,567,034,555,427,371,542,904,833. Good for him.

Meh. Did you know the biggest word in the dictionary is antidisestablishmentarinism.

- Correction Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicavolcanoconiosis is the longest word in the common dictionary. There are much longer words in the Chemical Dictionary.

- If you were to fold a piece of paper in half 50times it would reach 2/3 of the way to the sun.

- Googleplex a number which is 10^(google) can never be written down, even if the person writing it lived for eternity because there are not enough atoms in the universe to write it.

- The first known contraceptive was crocodile dung, used by Egyptians in 2000 B.C.

- If you thoroughly shuffle a deck of cards there is almost a 100 percent chance that, that combination of cards has never been occurred before in the world. This is because the number of combinations of 52 cards is 8.066*10^67. This number is so incomprehensibly large that no human can possibly understand it. to give you a reference if you only had 20 cards to shuffle the number of combinations would be larger than the number of seconds that elapsed since the beginning of time 13billions years ago.

I love this thread I have so many more random facts lol.

Parts of the Dead Sea Scrolls appeared for sale in the June 1, 1954 issue of the Wall Street Journal.

I wonder who bought 'em.

Did you know he was right? Ha

90-93 percent of adults are right handed.

In pool and snooker, a player can reach farther across the table if they are ambidextrous, since the cue must either be placed on the left or the right side of the body.

according to Google Trends, Portland, OR ranks #1 in searches for 'buttsex'. Second place is Seattle, WA.

for 'anal sex', Prague is in first place with over twice as many queries as second place, Ankara.

I can't help but wonder why.

For you Portland residents,
Sam Adams is the first openly gay mayor of a major city.

That's right, not even San Francisco has had an openly gay mayor. Well, actually, a gay guy ran for mayor, but was shot before the election.

(Sam Adams is still alive so far, but perhaps city hall security should keep an eye out...)

Baby Tuatara's have three eyes

Tuatara incubated at 21° C had a 50/50 chance of being born male or female, but at 22° C, 80% were likely to be males. At 20° C, 80% were likely to be females. At 18° C all tuatara hatched were female.

And, Barbie's full name is Barbara Millicent Roberts

Googleplex a number which is 10^(google) can never be written down, even if the person writing it lived for eternity because there are not enough atoms in the universe to write it.

What? That doesn't make sense. I'm sure I could write it. In fact, I'm taking that up as a challenge.
It's only 10^10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
Not that.. much... :(

My fact: Google is in fact not a number. It's spelt "Googol".
Hence why "Google" could be tradeamarked.

UnknownKirbyMan's spelling of color is different than my spelling of colour.

Did you know in old English they wrote s like an f and no one can tell it apart so they changed the way it was written.
Did you know that in old English color was spelled colour, they also use colour in England, but it is less comman in teh US.

did you know that the most comman way to mispell the is teh.

did not know about the spelling sorry, but try writing that number out with out the exponent.

and for a random fact...

If you had a perfect sphere not made of atoms, but completely solid, and a perfectly flat surface also completely solid, if the sphere was placed on the surface it would effectively float above the surface and never touch it. this is because a sphere is the set of all points a radius from a point and since points are infinitely small and the surface also made completely of points in a line can only touch the sphere at one point of tangency and since this point is infinitely small it can not exist. so the objects never touch.

No, your thought is completely wrong and I will prove it so that the world can see that you're I'd explain this and prove that it's wrong, but I'm really such an agreeable guy!

And: A Googleplex is 10^(10^100). Character count: 11. HA!

And: These facts aren't useless, so they shouldn't be here.

And: But since I'm here and I need a useless fact, I might as well say that I'm here. That was useless, RIGHT? ;D
