That's really an admittance of two useless facts. 1) that I read xkcd. 2) being that the sun flashes green at sun set.

OI!!!! Don't go posting useful facts!!!! this is for useless facts only!

So, I was in this place people call the mall a while back. And I had the urge to expel some bad spirits. As I went into the bathroom, I chose the urinal closes to the corner so I could have some privacy. So I whip out Lord Pevincy and let him loose the bad spirits. Well, I was looking at the wall as the Lord was expelling the spirits and I seemed to have gotten distracted. Turns out, I missed a little.

SO I'm sitting at my computer right, and I have a Coke, Bottled mind you. But it got warm, so I got a Coffie cup and I filled it with the coke and some Ice and I sipped as I did my internet stuff. So like and hour passed and I hadn't sipped any of it. and when I go to sip it, I notice that something solid is in it. So I'm like, "No, why would there be something solid in my coke?" SO I pull these solid THINGS off my tongue and guess what they are? F ING ANTS! I was like WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And so I ran into the Kitchen coughing and what not and I threw those little bastards down the drain with a flood of hate and cold water.......those bastards are lucky I don't have my Nucians yet!!!

In March 2010, during a US Congressional Armed Services Committee hearing concerning the buildup of US military forces on the island of Guam, U.S. House of Representatives member Henry C. "Hank" Johnson Jr. (Incumbent, Democrat, Georgia's 4th Dist) asked Admiral Robert F. Willard, Commander of U.S. Pacific Command, if the addition of military forces to the island could potentially cause the island to CAPSIZE due to the islands small size. He went on to say "...and uhh and also things like the uhh environment, the sensitive areas of the uhh environment, coral reefs and those kind of things, and I know that... you know... lots of people don't like to think about that, but you know... we didn't think about global warming either, and uhhhmmm... now we do have to think about it."

Guam, an island, capsizing... yeah, wow.

My uncle is a top national patent examiner and has several degrees. He's worked for the government on numerous top secret projects and done invaluable work towards to advancement of physics. He's also a pot smoker! It has absolutely no effects on you in the long term. It's not addictive, it's not dangerous. It doesn't cause lung cancer, it doesn't make you stupid. It just makes you feel good.

I don't smoke pot, nor do I support the legalization of it, but I will admit that it's totally harmless. The reason I don't support it's legalization is merely because it's too complicated right now. It would do more harm than good right now.

In your base, ignoring your logic.

Before all-porcelain false teeth were perfected in the mid-19th century, dentures were commonly made with teeth pulled from the mouths of dead soldiers following a battle. Teeth extracted from U.S. Civil War soldier cadavers were shipped to England by the barrel to dentists.

What? that just makes no sense! The Civil War was when the British fought the Canadians in a fight to prove who could make the best cheese!

Beer kept dark ages peasants healthy because the water was all tainted and they were safer just being drunk all day than actually drinking the water, plus it gave them much needed carbohydrates for their toilsome workday. Yup, beer is the cure for bubonic plague! I should really turn off the History Channel on my days off... it only encourages me.
