Come on guys, wow me with some useless information. I'll start

The Unicorn is the official national animal of Scotland!

Baby elephants suck on their trunk for comfort.

M&M stands for Mars and Murrie (the 2 creators of the candy)
 
Useless facts... You ask for useless facts when you know a nerd like me is on this forum? I got a metric TON of useless facts!

How esoteric do you want to get here?
 
King Crab is the most overpowered mech in the recent Battletech game. Daishi is the most overpowered mech in Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries.

My dog has fooled me before. I think australian shepherds are smarter than I am. This is disturbing.

A computer is basically carefully organized sand and ore.

46.3% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

I can raise each eyebrow independently of the other - to the beat of a song, no less! That's about the most useless skill I have.

If you strung out a person's intestines and measured them end-to-end... He'd probably die.

I usually go to bed about 8pm (CST) and sleep about seven or eight hours. This is useless because you are no better off now that you know this about me.

When they made the pilot for the original Star Trek TV show, one of the network executives said, "Lose the guy with the funny ears." Fortunately he was overruled.
 
Useless information...

Hmmm...

As of this post, I will have made 20,106 posts on this site.

Now I'm wondering how many of my posts have been deleted, and whether or not those are included in the number above...

Nah, it's 64.3% of statistics that are made up on the spot.

Also:

Before things like soap and shampoo became common, multiple cultures used fermented pee as a cleaning agent.

I can still sing songs from my 2nd and 3rd grade school plays (and most of the subsequent ones as well).

I'm sure I know lots of really stupid useless stuff. I just can't think of it right now.

The hymn All Hail to thee Immanuel ( had to look this up because I don't know that hymn either) was written by D. R. Van Sickle, a nonbeliever, who wrote the song to prove that one doesn’t have to be a Christian to write a Christian song. However, God’s great patience turned the tables on him. Years later, Van Sickle was sitting in a service where a choir sang his hymn. He came under conviction and gave his heart to Christ!

Our keyboards are inefficiently laid out; this was to limit typing speed in the days when they still used mechanical typewriters so that the typists didn't type so fast that the (whatever you call those arms that actually strike the letters; I'm too young to remember that) didn't have time to go back down before the next one came up and they jammed them up.

The only (current) denomination of dollar bill to not feature a US president on the front is the $10 bill.

I'm not happy with how that they jammed them up sentence flows, but it's too late to worry about it.

Reading @cinder's, I thought of another one! When I was little my dad told me it was Barbara Bush on the dollar bill.

There are actually archaic letters which have been dropped from the English language. One of these is seen in signs like "Ye Olde Pub." The "Y" in this case is an archaic letter representing "Th." In this case it is pronounced exactly like "the." "Ye" = "The."
 
I was taught how to spell Mississippi in elementary school.

In 5 days it will be pi day.

I am fairly certain deleted posts are subtracted from your total.

And if you are very active in a thread that gets deleted? Boom. Big sink.

1Acre = 4840 square yards
Total acreage of USA = 2.27 Billion
Current world population 7.8 Billion
2.27/7.8 = 0.291 acres or 1613 sq yards (4839 sq ft)
Average area of a "family dwelling" in USA = 2000 sq ft
