Useless facts!

[Tavis]

This is inspired from a <a href='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... st&p=80950' target='_blank'>series of useless facts</a> uttered in the "<a href='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... wtopic=122' target='_blank'>Questions Only</a>" game. Utter true things ("<span style='color:#64008D'>Tavis likes purple.</span>"), false things ("Pi is exactly 3!" *gasp*), or maybe just the absurd ("The queen and I simply share a fondness for whipped cream."), as long as it is clearly a fact.<br><br><b>No Opinions!</b><br><br>Finally, posters of really good facts are rewarded with non-prizes and the admiration of other forum contestants. <!--emo&:P--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /><!--endemo--> Have fun!

Fact: objects in mirror may appear closer then they are.

[Tom Flapwell]

Fact: There is an irreverent series of calendars called <i>The 365 Stupidest Things Ever Said</i>, a rather suspicious title given that they release a new set each year. In 2001, Al Gore had the most quotes -- four, some of them very embarrassing indeed -- while Dubya had only one. (Sportscaster Ralph Kiner and conductor Eugene Ormandy also appear frequently on these calendars.) This year, Dubya has far and away the most quotes, and Gore and all the 2004 Democratic nominees have yet to show up.
