We thought about it quite a bit & came to the conclusion of not adding that one. Reasons are known, categories like that haven't gelled all that well.

3 Years ago a scientist took sample of 11 places in the office. The most contaminated place was a desktop, with an average of 25,000+ germs per square inch, next a phone with 20,000+. The cleanest? A toilet seat with only 49. Weird.

Funny you mentioned this. I found a book recently ("That Book") full of useless trivia and facts. A few of the facts in That Book were mentioned in the first post, but here's a few others that I remember:
- The elephant is the only other animal that can stand on its head
- The elephant is the only mammal that cannot jump
- Any month that begins on a Sunday will have a Friday the 13th
- A couple of anagrams:
Clint Eastwood becomes "Old West Action"
Princess Diana becomes "Ascend in Paris"

Mine is true, came from a newspaper. The only ones I doubt are andres's shower fact, Tales anus thing (because Tales is a joker and why the hell would they research that, let alone be able to...um..."gather information"), the decapitation thing, and sleeping in a cold room gives you bad dreams. I've heard a lot of the others before.

Then again, maybe not.

"Ascend in Paris" is certainly more ironic though.
