People Share Their Most Tantalizingly Useless Facts

The pursuit of knowledge is a noble one. At the same time, it probably doesn't help a whole lot to be able to describe exactly where cashews come from, or what elephants really think of mice. But at least it's amusing to know things, however trivial they may be. Many of us have done a great job tricking other people into thinking we ourselves are smart just because we know one or two things about the chocolate harvesting process. In actuality, we don't know that much, have few marketable skills, and are terrifically bad critical thinkers. Give us a square peg and a round hole and we'll bang those bastards together until the hole gets eroded. But ask us about the planets and we'll have at least 5 or 6 seemingly insightful things to say, and only 1 or 2 of them will be easily disprovable.

For some more insight into the world we live in, here are some science facts that show the terrifying scope of our universe.
