http://www.unkno.com/toplist/

The link is the 'toplist' of useless knowledge.

Some of the more interesting bits of 'useless knowledge' (I personally think that there is stuff that IS useless knowledge. I am not of the mindset that all knowledge is good and help etc etc etc. It may or it may not. With limited time I think all people need to know only what is most important to them to begin with and can go on to less important things etc. Anyway since this topic was not the intention of the post I am doing a bad job at it so I'll stop. None of the below is technically useless is cause you can either start conversations with the same or look cool for knowing crazy stuff).


- The word “lethologica” describes the state of not being able to remember the word you want.

- An adult giraffe's kick is so powerful that it can decapitate a lion.

- The brain continues sending electrical wave signals for 37 hours after death

- There are 318,979,564,000 possible combinations of the first four moves in Chess.

- American Airlines saved $40,000 in 1987 by taking out an olive from First Class salads.


I wish the site had better usability so that it was easier to find more 'useless knowledge'.
