The useless triva game!

[Dragoon Fighter]

While I belive all information has some purpose the general court of public opion disagrees with my views . Anyway the game is about who can post the most useless but accurate facts of the world. The rules are as follows.....

Rule #1 The information must be ture while you do not have to sight a source stay away from wikipedia () and its allies ().

Rule #2 Please keep it PG I really do not want this tread deleted.

Rule #3 If you see something not facual point it out and prove it. You score two game points for doing so.

Rule #4 If the person below you thinks the trivia you posted is more useless than the one above you, you get a point.

Rule #5 You can state your opinons just somehow make it seprete from the triva it does not matter how but I recomend underlining it or what ever flots your boat.

Rule #6 Every three pages a useless triva master is determind by talling up your points (Just edit your total into the last post of the three pages in question.)

Rule #7 No, you do not get points for pointing out spelling errors or grammer errors.

Rule #8 Have fun, it is just a game right?

I will start off with an easy to beat one the sweat in your ears that dries up turns into ear wax.

In the video game series legend of zelda the master sword is called exacibur in some euorpean countries.
I think Jonkku scores a point for the snail fact.

During WW2 there was a temporary truce between the parties because of Christmas.

 

[Jonkku]

I'd think it's useless trivia enough to work as a post, that I knew all of the stuff posted here already, except the one about ferrets.

French Toast is a Spanish dish from the middle ages.

 

[Jonkku]

^ That one made me think of something:

When one proposes a toast, it rarely actually includes any proposing or toast.

French Toast is a Spanish dish from the middle ages.

Actually its been sourced as coming from about 9 different european countries, including Spain, Italy and the Netherlands.

I was also called Poor Knights toast as in olden times the king may visit his noble knights for a meal, however, despite their peerages, they may not always be laden with money. To be more frugal they offered eggy-bread with Jam and sugar as a desert to prevent breaking etiquette or offending the king while not breaking the bank either.

You used the letter a four times though. lol

Letter =/= Word zeldaspazz. (Though "letter" is a word.) I was referring to the description of the word "a" like a cow. (Jonkku already got it)
