I think this is a great thread to start about all the useless information we all have. Even though it might not apply to daily life, share something to us that might be interesting, though useless.

Here is one.

    An apple, onion, and potato all have the same taste. The differences in flavor are caused by their smell. To prove this - pinch your nose and take a bite from each. They will all taste sweet.

    The phrase "Don't drink the Kool-Aid" did not originate from suicidal cults. It originated from the times when people used to spike Kool-Aid with acid, the meaning was transferred over after the usage of ingested poisons in cults. In fact, Jim Jones did not poison his followers with Koolaid anyway. It was Flavor-Aid.

    Elephants are the only mammals that can't jump.

    camels are the only 4 legged animals that walk with both feet on the same side at the same time, like two-legged animals. The other walk with opposing legs.

    There are more active SIM cards in Australia than people - theoretically that means most of us have more than one phone
