Default Useless information

Some might call it, uhh... trivia. My head is filled with it. I pwn at Trivial Pusuit.

- The Butterfly was originally called the "Flutter By."

- The term "The whole nine yards" came from WWII. The ammunition belts for the belly gunner's machine gun were nine yards long. If you unloaded on someone, you gave him the "whole nine yards."

- Dolphins are the only other species that has sex for pleasure.

- Wrigley's Gum was the first product with a UPC bar code.

- Luminous (things that we can see) material only makes up ~ 5% of the matter in the universe.

What you got?

An URAL truck's inner tire surface has viscous rubber which seals any leaks in the tire no more than 3 centimeters in diameter....

You can shoot a Nagalene water bottle with a shotgun and nothing will happen to it. A classmate actually tried it.
