random and totally useless bits of information

Things you did not think you needed to know...and probably don't! I am a connoisseur of useless and random information. So, I thought I would a share a few of them with you. Enjoy!


  • Leonardo da Vinci spent twelve years painting the Mona Lisa's lips. He could also write with one hand and draw with the other at the same time.


  • One in every four Americans has appeared on television.


  • The average person will spend two weeks over their lifetime wating for traffic lights to change.


  • A Boeing 747's wingspan is longer than the distance of the Wright Brothers' first flight.


  • A manned rocket can reach the moon in less time than it took a stagecoach to travel the length of England.


  • Dueling is legal in Paraguay as long as both parties are registered blood donors.


  • Colgate faced a big obstacle marketing toothpaste in Spanish-speaking countries. Colgate translates into the command "go hang yourself."
