Jolly good show! Us brits know that a pint solves EVERYTHING. No word of a lie xD

McDonald's and the T.V. show "Dallas" helped end communism in Russia.

Wearing headphones for an hour will increase the bacteria in your ears by 700 times.

Dettol kills 99.9 percent of bacteria. Fact.

Hippopotami are the only animals that kill for their own amusement. (Rather than to hone hunting skills or to defend themselves or their territory)

regarding the Hippo thing:

People kill to mount heads on their walls. I overheard a guy at the bar bragging about how he blasts groundhogs with his shotgun out of the window of his car as he drives by. Palin likes to shoot wolves out of helicopters with her kids. I don't think they eat the wolf meat, or the groundhog shotgun blasted carcasses.

I just skimmed this thread looking for pictures. Now I'm nauseous.

You're welcome.

James Doohan (Scotty from Star Trek) was at D-Day in World War II. He was shot six times and lost a finger.

Coney Island Hot Dogs are not intended to involve ketchup, only dark mustard, dog, and bun. Chicago style hot dogs are meant to involve everything you can fit on the bun. Yankee Stadium sells more hot dogs than any other baseball field. Hot Dogs are lower in fat and higher in protein than any other processed meat.

last useless fact:
I love hot dogs. I am eating one now. I have it on a garlic bun with cheese, chopped onion, mustard, and chili. I guess that would be a 'Chicago Style'.

Hot dogs arent really made from dogs...

God I want a hot dog now! Thanks a lot!

In New York City, it's legal to have up to 5% of a hot dog contain insect parts or rat feces.

In "The Old West" any Outlaw who enjoyed the use of his wedding tackle had only 5 bullets in their 6 shot revolvers, resting the hammer on the empty chamber, as the guns had a tendency to misfire.

Heart disease has continually been the leading cause of death in the united states, leading by quite a large margin, in the range of 25-27% each year of all total deaths.

Knowing that now makes me want a big plate of fried greasy food.

Research scientists cause cancer in rats.

Once you have set up your desired sound and chained in your effects, if you set an amplifier's master volume knob at exactly the point where you can visually notice the speaker cone moving, you have the perfect resonance from the speaker cabinet. No oomfing and no weak tinny sound.
edit... sorry... that is potentially not a useless fact to some of you... so here's a useless one:
Baked beans are good on hot dogs. (speaking from my experimental hot dog experiance, can't cite any other source, sorry)

mmm....

Ironically, I found the beans comment more useful. xD

In most cases... baked beans.... aren't.

It depends on what kind of hot dog you have.

I am naked.

Fruit on pizza is a bad idea. Sorry "hawaiian style".
An ice cream float made using beer is also a bad idea.
If you stand on a beer can perfectly balanced, and have someone slightly tap the side with a pencil or a marble or whatever, it will smash flat faster than you can keep your balance.

Grapes and Pineapple and Tomatos.
Pizza fruit toppings...
What goes on yours? Meat and meeeat with a meatshake?

Which is amazing because I love only mustard, no ketchup. Also, the original nathans (on coney island) has several different types of mustard, but only 1 type of ketchup for those foreigners.

I have yet to try a Coney Island Hot Dog. I hear they are amazing. The closest I've had is a Saberret Hot dog from the stand and those are AMAZING.
Are Coney Island Dogs better?

No. It depends on what you want. Coney Island are the perfect simple hot dog. And, as Maverick pointed out, yeah they are good just so long as you get the right mustard. Sometimes simplicity is better... but... if you dont have the right mustard go chi style.

This debate was actually brought up in the movie "2010" from like 20 years ago. Adrian Kronoer and Haywood Floyd agreed on the Coney Island hot dog at Yankee Stadium with the dark mustard as the thing they missed most about being back on Earth, while they were out orbiting Jupiter.

HOT DOG TIME!!!

Tomatoes are a fruit, and are the single exception to the 'dont put fruit on pizza' rule in my head.

Mushrooms have almost no nutritional value whatsoever, yet post-modernist composer John Cage supposedly survives with an almost exclusively mushroom diet. I guess it is possible to eat too much of something, he's still alive...

I like my hot dogs.. "Philly Style" (thats what others have called it..... as I am originally from that area).
Mustard and topped with kraut. And Vendor Dogs are some of the best.

For Guitardian....

(from 2010)
Heywood Floyd: I'd love a hot dog.
Walter Curnow: Astrodome. Good hot dogs there.
Heywood Floyd: Astrodome? You can't grow a good hot dog indoors. Yankee Stadium. September. The hot dogs have been boiling since opening day in April. Now that's a hot dog.
Walter Curnow: The yellow mustard or the darker kind?
Heywood Floyd: The darker kind.
Walter Curnow: Very important.

I highly reccommend actually going to nathans on coney island. It's right near the street, you don't have to look at any of the gross stuff.

Even if you don't want to ride the line for like 45 minutes, you can still go to like any nathans in the city. They're all good
