Cool Unusual Information (Part 1)
Recently, I’ve bought two books. The Book of Useless Information, and The Ultimate Book of Useless Information: A Few Thousand More Things You Might Need to Know ( But ProbablyDon’t)
Absolutely Obsessed with this “Useless Information”, I read the first book in 2 days, and the second book (shorter) in 1 day. There are three books, the third being the kinda of “greatest hits of The Books of Useless Information”, please pardon my bad memory. (I’m sure it was called something else.) Today, or well 2 1/2 hours ago was Friday, I did a search for strange facts, and I found a farrelly educated website with some facts. The only really problem I have with the site. And I’m not sure I could have ever looked at it longer than I did. And the main reason why this is number one… The best site is atrocious, ugly, poorly programmed, unmotivated, and sad. I can deal with that, most websites are. What I cannot deal with is the exclamation points at the end of every single fact. If it wasn’t for this the website would be awesome. I can’t imaging screaming facts at people, they seem annoyed enough at me for speaking them. But, … for the first part of “Cool Unusual Information”, I will read through and include some of these. At the end, I will include the website link for anybody that has a visual death wish, or perhaps has some kind of super human strength for this sort of design faux pas.

The more I read these, the more I’m curious if this person has these books, or if this person is the writer.
Dolphins sleep with one eye open.
They left out the part where Dolphins, can’t stop .. If they stop moving they will suffocate. They sleep with one eye open, going in a circle, and half way through their sleep, they open the other eye, and switch directions.

The starfish is one of the few animals who can turn it’s stomach inside-out.
One of the others is a frog, … it throws up its stomach, then empties it with its hands, then swallows it again.
Our stomach creates a new film around it every two weeks, if it didn’t we would digest our stomach.
This I got from the book mentioned above.
And this is where I stop with this website.
You’ll eat about 35,000 cookies in a lifetime! Wow!
One of the most irritating parts of this website (link below) is its over use of the Word wow, and its over use of exclamation points.
Stay tuned, Part 2 soon.
