Useless Information

[hypoman]

We all have heard bits of useless information throughout the years that we never thought we would use. Well now is the chance to showoff just how much useless info you have!

1) Joseph Swan invented the light bulb a full 10 months before Edison. Edison made so much money that Swan got mad and sued him for the patent rights that he had applied for a year before Edison did anyways........... he won.

2) The first person to die in a car accident was Bridgett Driscoll. She was ran over by a speeding vehicle going 4 mph!

Vultures do not sweat. They urinate on their legs to keep cool. Also, they can eat any animal with any disease and be ok.

Hitler's favorite movie was King Kong.

Adolf Hitler had only one testicle; he ordered tanks to be made in Michigan and told the company to not worry about sending them to Germany because he would "pick them up on his way through Detroit."

Guess he liked to think he had a pair as big as Kong.

Windmills always turn counter-clockwise except for the windmills in Ireland.

The U.S. commander of the battle for wake island WW2, Cmdr. Winfield Scott Cunningham, needlessly surrendered. U.S. forces repulsed all attacks and landing attempts,the japanese forces who did manage to land were to few to be an effective attack force and,could of been easily mopped up. The surrender came about because the japanese used flags to as troop location markers. Cunningham saw all the flags and thought his tiny garrison was overwhelmed. Little did he know that most of his lines remained intact and that most of the japanese on the island were dead.
