Useless Facts

Cyclops. And also, they'd be born without a nose and/or mouth. Pretty cool stuff if you're George R.R. Martin.

 

The average brain weighs about 1400g outside of the body, and only has a net weight of 50g when buoyed up by your cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This is due to Archimedes Principle, which states that the force exerted upwards on a submerged object is equal to the amount of water that was displaced by the object. This is important as, without the CSF significantly buoying up the brain, the brain wouldn't float in the cranium, and would compress your cerebral arteries and kill you.

 

Very true. And if you look at maps of the distributions of sickle cell and malaria you'll find that they are basically the same.

 

I graduated from high school in 1989.

Our class song was Poison's "Nothin' But a Good Time."

Didn't someone say that the first million words are practice? Does that make you a master now?

 

Master e-mailer? Master Email? Master Outlook.

 

MSM—Master of Social Media

*Takes a bow*

 

Isn't that a vitamin supplement?

 

Are you thinking of MSG? An old ingredient extremely high in sodium that I see in my mom's cookbooks from the 50's and 60's.

 

No, I think it's for joint pain.

 

Only a nonsensical one.

 

If you assemble all my posts together you'll find I've actually written a novel. However it's out of order (all the words) and needs to be re-arranged considerably before revealing itself in any sensible way.

I patiently await for someone to solve the riddle.
