...bit of information you possess?

Try to make it as truly worthless as possible!

On the flip side...

What is the most useful fact you have acquired?
(You know, something that when you found out it was like an epiphany)

Besides being health hazards, rats in the middle ages irritated people with their constant gnawing. An old Scandinavian term for the process of gnawing passed from German to English, and is where we get the word nag. Guess this wasn't totally useless, since I just got to use it.
Most useful fact- childbirth hurts like a son of a b***h, that's why I only have one child.
Also the bobby pin was widely used by women with bobbed cuts, but the name comes from its inventor Bobby T. Plympton. It was originally invented in the late 1800s for use by men. Women with bobbed hair began using it in the 1920s.

I just learned from my 10 year old that 100 pieces of hair fall out of my head each day - this to me is totally useless because I can't do anything about it! Thank you Jacob!

If you do not have confindance in the one you love - there is nothing left between you. This came to me like an epiphany while watching EP1 when QAmalida goes before the senate. It hit me like a ton of bricks when she said "I vote no confidance" and then I knew that it was a statement that could be applied to my life and my marriage. Weird, I know but very profound to me. It was something to think about

Useless fact - Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII's 2nd wife had 6 fingers on her left hand.

On the flip side... a female kangaroo can pause a pregnancy if there is a drought, lack of food, or if her other joey is not ready to leave the pouch yet.

I'll take the latter first. One of the most useful things I learned at an early age was that touching something hot can burn you. Can you recall the first time you touched something hot and recoiled in response? Now as for the former, I'd have to say that it's...a flatus smells bad. Once you know that you don't need to be reminded of it again for the rest of your life.

Useless: That a cat can make nearly a hundred different vocal sounds while a dog can only make seven.
Useful: How to loosen the linkages on a car if it gets stuck in gear.

Are you ready for this? Who really needs to know that the name of the end of shoelaces is an aglet?
Most useful fact I believe is when I realized at a young age what Lincoln meant when he stated, "You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong." I have tried to live by those words. How's that for trivia?

The most useless is:
Why the bobby pin is called the bobby pin.
All women used to have long hair and hair pins were used to hold it in place. When, in the early 20th century, women cut their hair short (bobbed their hair). They needed a different type of pin to hold it in place. The bobby pin (for bobbed hair) was invented.

Most useful is:
When you are told something, have a good look at who's telling you before you believe it. (Saves you from believing a lot of lies.)
