Hey Pandas, What Worthless Bit Of Trivia Or Knowledge Is Forever Stuck In Your Head?

I've got vast numbers of useless facts in my head.

Since we're all worried about Ukraine etc., here's a bunch of relevant geography-related facts. There's a small "country" between ukraine and moldova called transnistria/trans-dniester. It used to be the soviet/western border. It's occupied by yes, the russians. But technically a province of moldova. Moldova speaks Romanian (they deny it though), which is descended from latin (Roman, get it?). But they write in cyrillic (russian script).

The old name for Romania was Wallachia. The term appears in Dracula. Famous celeb from that area. May have heard of him. Anyway. Bottom of Moldova is an area called Bessarabia. It has nothing to do with Arabs. Also Russian and others. This was basically the boundary between the Ottoman (Turkish) empire and the west. Vlad the Impaler (Vlad Tepes) aka Dracula apparently fought them and impaled them.

Wallachia comes from an old Germanic word "Vlach" meaning foreigner. We see it in the word "Welsh" (Wealisc in Saxon). Apparently anyone non-Germanic was a vlach. In modern Greek apparently Vlachos means something like hillbilly. Apparently that's the stereotype about Romanians from the Greeks.

Romanian itself is mostly Latin but has funny borrowings from Slavic, like the word for friend/love can be iubi or dragoste, similar to Russian liuba and druga. Latin for these are amicus/amore etc.

Ukrainian is very similar to Russian but not identical. The relationship is similar to the German/Dutch/Frisian relationship, with about 62% words similar or the same.

OK done.

#5

#6

That wombats poop cubes. It has something to do with their intestines being really good at removing water and compacting waste and it comes out in cubes.

#7

I am 40 yrs old and to this day can name all 50 states in alphabetical order. Thanks to Mrs Hamilton, one of my 7th grade teachers. She taught us "The Fifty Nifty United States" song and I dont think I could forget it if I tried!

A proper one this time. Pineapple 'eats' you as you eat it. Pineapple contains a chemical called Bromelain that deconstructs (and will eventually dissolve) proteins, including human tissue. So if you're wondering why it tingles on your tongue now you know (thankfully our stomach acid is strong enough to dissolve concrete so takes care of Mr Pineapple)

#14

Thanks to a Christmas geography quiz, in my first year of high school, I learned that the capital of Upper Volta is Ouagadougou.
Three years later, they tried to confuse me by changing the name of the country to Burkina Faso, which was just mean, but I adapted.
I don't think this knowledge has been useful even once in the last 40+ years, but if you ask me the capital of Burkins Faso, I'll tell you after only a very brief pause. I'm even quicker if you ask for the capital of Upper Volta.

Twinkle Twinkle all the night.

The word "buffalo" can be noun (bison), proper noun (the city in New York), or verb (to bully), so you can make complete sentences by repeating the same word, for example:
Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo, buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

This can be re-written as:
"Bison from New York that are bullied by bison from New York, also bully bison from New York."

I don't know if that statement about bison is true, just that the word buffalo can be used in that way.

Another word this is true for is "police" (both noun and verb). Who police's the police? Police-police police police. Who police's the police-police? Police-police-police police police-police.

You may think you are standing still but you are moving at nearly 1000 miles per hour as the earth spins on its axis. You are moving 66,000 mph as the earth orbits the sun. (If you time travel for more than a few seconds and come back to the same spot you will find yourself in space, miles from the earth). You are moving as something like a million mph as the galaxy spins. The Milky Way galaxy is also moving through the universe on a collision course with the Andromeda galaxy.

Many years ago, when wood was in short supply it was a common practice to dig up and reuse coffins.

Quite often the grave diggers would see scratch marks on the underside of the coffin lid, left there by someone who was buried but still alive!

This happened so often, in fact, that all newly buried people had a length of string tied to their finger, leading all the way aboveground where it was tied to a bell.

When someone buried alive would move their hand trying to desperately claw their way out, the bell would ring aboveground.

Those people were called "Dead Ringers".

The men hired to listen for the bells during the night were known to be working the "graveyard shift".

I know about one piece of trivia for almost every AKC registered breed of dog; at least every breed that was registered at the time when I was in fifth grade and had a hyper fixation in dogs, because I really wanted a dog. For example, I could tell you that the mascot of the University of TN (Go Vols!) should be a Black and Tan Coonhound, instead of a Bluetick, because Black and Tans were chiefly bred in Tennessee, whereas the Bluetick was primarily bred in Georgia.

Also, coonhounds were bred for more than hunting racoons; they were also bred to hunt deer, possum, squirrel, and even more ferocious game such as wild boar, bears and even mountain lions! My own Black and Tan, Crockett, would only chase boar, deer and bear. Small game could waltz before him and he didn't care.

Name a dog breed and I can probably tell you one trivia fact about it.

I have one-
There was a legendary Indian musician named R D Burman who had a Daak naam- Pancham. Reason for naming him Pancham was when he was an infant his father (S D Burman, another legendary musician) said that he sounds like the fifth note of Sur (sa, re, ga, ma, pa, dha, ni, sa) and Pancham means fifth, hence the Daak naam Pancham.
Note: Daak naam is western equivalent of pet name, a name with which one's family and close friends call them. It is found mainly in Bengali community in India

What the F?

Read this sentence OUT LOUD to yourself:

...............................................
Finished files are the
result of years of scientific
study combined with the
experience of years.
...............................................

Now look at the sentence.

How many times can you find the letter F?

9 out of 10 people will get it wrong.

Try this on your friends & family by writing the sentence on a piece of paper, then ask them to read it out loud. (IT'S VITAL they read it out loud or it doesn't work as well.) Then they need to look through it and count the number of times they find the letter "F". (It's 6)

The word "buffalo" can be a noun (bison), a proper noun (a city in New York), or a verb (to bully). So whole sentences can be made by repeating the word. For example:
Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo, buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

This can be re-written as:
Bison from New York that are bullied by other bison from New York, also bully other bison from New York.

The word "police" can also be either noun or verb, so the same is possible.

Who police's the police?
Police-police police police.

Who police's the police-police?
Police-police-police police police-police.

The minimum dynamic hydroplaning speed, in knots, of a tire to be 8.6 times the square root of the tire pressure in pounds.

The vowels in Ancient Egyptian? We don't know them for certain. They are estimated based upon Coptic - its descendant languages and dialects. Vowels are not something that you see in a lot of ancient written languages, Ancient Egyptian included. It's why there are multiple names for the Gods - is his name Seth, Set, Sutekh, Setekh? It's not really any of them, it's what is written, which is none of those; but unless he pops down and goes "Oi, get it right! It's pronounced ...", we give our best guess.
