A compilation of utterly useless information brought to you by The Internationalist Page, Braintenance, Corsinet Trivia Collections and THE NATIONAL NEWSPICKER™.

Following is a veritable cesspool teeming with trivial items to use in pick-up lines in bars, to fill awkward silences in credit committee meetings, and to forward (via email) to the spam filters of Oprah, Bill O’Reilly, Bono, Paris Hilton, Harry Potter [either one], any member of the board of directors of Bank Of America, the president or prime minister of your home nation, or your many friends, family members and people who have far to much time on their hands. Do not send it to Douglas Castle, as he is far too busy for this kind of thing.

Here goes:
