I have what you call a "Library of Useless Information." This library is filled with random and trvial facts. I thought that I would share some of these factoids with the S2KI community. I am going to try to add one a day. If you would like to share one of you're funny factoids please feel free

1) Wendy's fast food chain has square burgers rather than round ones because their motto is "We don't cut corners."

 

When at a bathroom urinal, try to stare at the wall, not the other men's you know what.

 

2 words! Jumbo shrimp

 

i have a 6th toe.

 

Now I wish Wendy's was open...err...

 

as an extension, if you're having trouble peeing in public try getting angry at the urinal. I uh, read that on the internet....yeah....

 

2) Fainting goats - These are a slightly smaller version of the standard goat, who, believe it or not, thanks to a genetic condition called myotonia congenita, actually seem to faint when they are startled.

As strange as this may sound, these little critters have actually served an historical purpose. Shepherds often kept the goats in with their flocks as insurance in case of predator attacks. The theory went something like this- as wolves would come down from the hills to attack a flock of sheep, the goats would become startled and, as per the name of their breed, they would faint. The sheep would make a clean getaway, as the wolves would focus on the stunned goats rather than pursue the fleeing sheep. Not that wonderful if you were one of the goats, sure, but downright dandy if you happened to be a sheep.

 

3) During the reign of Peter the Great, any Russian nobleman who chose to wear a beard had to pay a special beard tax.

 

4) There is a southern French wine called Fat Bastard Chardonnay.

 

5) Women blink nearly twice as much as men.
