When I was younger, I always found useless facts fascinating. In fact, one of the main features I had on one of my first web sites was a bunch of Useless Facts (I also had stick figure deaths, yo momma jokes, break dancing moves, and i can’t remember what else..). Here is the top list from Uneccessary Knowledge.
1- An adult giraffe’s kick is so powerful that it can decapitate a lion.
2- The word “lethologica” describes the state of not being able to remember the word you want.
3- The brain continues sending electrical wave signals for 37 hours after death
4- Charlie Chaplin once won third prize in a Charlie Chaplin look-alike contest.
5- Between 1902 and 1907, the same tiger killed 434 people in India.
6- During their periods womens middle fingers shrink. No one knows why.
7- Every year approximately 2,500 left-handed people are killed by using object or machinery designed for right-handed people.
8- In “Silence of the Lambs”, Hannibal Lector (Anthony Hopkins) never blinks.
9- The clown fish has the ability to change its sex. If a breeding female dies, the male fish will change its sex and mate with another male.
10- During World War II, the very first bomb dropped on Berlin by the Allies killed the only elephant in the Berlin Zoo.
11- 45% of Americans don’t know that the sun is a star.
12- More people are killed by donkeys annually than are killed in plane crashes.
13- If you unfolded and flattened a set of human lungs they would cover a tennis court
14- The largest number of children born to one woman, who was a Russian peasant is 69.
15- There is enough iron in a human being to make one small nail.
I should buy this. An Etsy find.
Krispy Kreme (of all people) has come out with grass flip flops. You can now feel the summer lawn tickle your toes as you sit all day at your job wishing you were outside. It supposedly lasts up to 4 months. I like.

…when old Turkish dudes in suits start throwing punches at each other. Priceless.
A brawl between MPs breaks out during a debate in the Turkish parliament in Ankara on May 28, 2007. The parliament convened to debate the constitutional-amendment package regarding general and presidential elections.

For reals. This was a poem I did in 5th grade with the help of a BYU professor (he was visiting our class and helped a bunch of us individually). I don’t know how I still remember it. But I do. Here it is:
There once was a toilet so white,
It was always in use day and night,
The smell left a cloud,
The flush was so loud,
The bathroom gave quite a fright.
My wife is the one who usually blogs about kitchen stuff. But hey…I like food. Anyway, here are a few interesting, colorful products that I think looked interesting.
A clever tool for any kitchen, the Index Chopping Board color-codes four different boards according to the food that they should be used with. Made of polypropylene, each board is dishwasher-safe and can be easily stored away in the supplied, non-slip filing folder. An ideal accessory for the incurable neat freak… and a perfect gift for the hopelessly disorganised!

Morph created these for Joseph Joseph.
Some amazing graphic design work by Mitchell Paone. Be sure to check out his site.
