Surreptishus Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 Ahh, i missed this thread. Good to see it back. The daily cost of water for the average household in the UK is 68p - what it would cost to buy a 2-litre bottle of Evian in a supermarket.

Darth Launch Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 Oh, the old Useless Information thread was fun Ermm... useless information: I ate a pomegranate this evening DL [color=gray][i]OO-TINI![/i][/color]
mr insomniac Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 It takes a week to make a jellybean. I took this job because I thought you were just a legend. Just a story. A story to scare little kids. But you're the real deal. The demon who dares to challenge God. So what the hell do you want? Don't seem to me like you're out to make this stinkin' world a better place. Why you gotta kill all my men? Why you gotta kill me? Nothing personal. It's just revenge.
Kaftan Barlast Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 I dont even think that qualifies as information, Miss Launch. " Useless info: You are actually far more likely to get attacked by a shark than hit by lightning. And they dont make fishsticks out of lightning. DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner. If there is no clear indication, asume the post is written in jest. This notification is meant very seriously and its purpouse is to avoid misunderstandings and the consequences thereof. Furthermore; I can not be held accountable for anything I write on these forums since the idea of taking serious responsability for my unserious actions, is an oxymoron in itself. Important: as the following sentence contains many naughty words I warn you not to read it under any circumstances; botty, knickers, wee, erogenous zone, psychiatrist, clitoris, stockings, bosom, poetry reading, dentist, fellatio and the department of agriculture. "I suppose outright stupidity and complete lack of taste could also be considered points of view. "

metadigital Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 Linkie? A biologist found a cane toad mating on the road a few years ago; not much unusual except that he was returning from his journey, and the pair had been locked in flagrante delicto since he had driven up the coast; also both toads were male, and the one being copulated with was dead. In fact it was so dead, that its head was in an advanced state of putrification, having been run over by some previous road traffic.

Rosbjerg Posted October 30, 2005 Author Posted October 30, 2005 ^ nominated as "most disturbing information" .. Fortune favors the bald.
BattleCookiee Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 (edited) Linkie? Newspaper, hard to link Not english either... It contained info how the researcher got its inspiration though: He was just sitting around home when he saw and Male Duck being chased by another male duck. The "chased one" crashed into the researchers window...dead. Not that the other duck cared, it just took the dead body quite some time. Inspired by this the researcher investigated ducks doing this and that investigation has been elected as "most useless investigation"... Edited October 30, 2005 by Battlewookiee
