Name one stupid, trivial fact you've learned via the internetz...

[Eupher]

Obama got elected as the President of The United States of America.   

Well, it certainly qualifies as "stupid", but it's by no means trivial. In the short span of 22 months, he's managed to screw things up to levels of OMG never before seen by mankind.

More bizzare stuff:

--The quack of a duck doesn't echo.

--The highest point in Pennsylvania is lower than the lowest point in Colorado.

--Every episode of Seinfeld has a Superman in it somewhere.

--The Bible has been translated into Klingon.

The Bible has also been translated into lolcat speak.

Nikola Tesla (one of my favorite guys from history EVER)  At the Chicago Columbia Exposition of 1893, he sent 200,000 volts through his body to prove that electricity was safe. It was, although his hair stood on end for a week.
and
By the age of five, young Tesla had already invented his own waterwheel and read the 100-volume set of the Complete Voltaire. By comparison, we could, um, count to 10 and pretty regularly avoid peeing on ourselves.
and
Tesla once predicted, “The household’s daily newspaper will be printed ‘wirelessly’ in the home during the night.”

That guy just blows my mind!

Tesla was an absolute genius and way ahead of his time. He was also robbed of many of his inventions.

If you rank all the countries' land mass in the world per capita, the United States' position does not change.

Link goes to one enormous JPEG: What if the largest countries had the biggest populations?

Thomas Edison being the biggest culprit.

[mamacags]

Thomas Edison along with being a thief was a piece of shit as a human.  The more I read about him the more insane he seems.

The NAACP was founded by white people. Sumptin' I doubt that Revrun Jessie ever mentions to his zombies.

I stand corrected!

Now THAT is interesting. 

I'd think I'd want to hang around at say, oh, 30 feet or so, just for the pleasure of filling my wet suit with pungent odor. I wonder if this is the origin of the term "bubble butt".

1X1 = 1
11X11 = 121
111X111 = 12,321
..

111,111,111 X 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321
