well...the *technical* definition of trivia is "unimportant/useless fact" so the title is actually more redundant then anything

alright...here's a couple I could add to the list:
- Barbie's full name is actually Barbara Millicent Roberts (this is in reference to the 'barbie doll' BTW) - Los Angela's 'full name' is actually "El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reina de los Angeles de Porciuncula" - Walt Disney originally wanted to call his now famous Steamboat Willie character Mortimer...and it was his wife that talked him into renaming it Mickey

Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Yuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit
which translates into
The city of angels, the great city, the eternal jewel city, the impregnable city of God Indra, the grand capital of the world endowed with nine precious gems, the happy city, abounding in an enormous Royal Palace that resembles the heavenly abode where reigns the reincarnated god, a city given by Indra and built by Vishnukam.

A cockroach can live off the back of a postage stamp for years, feeding just off of those nutrients.
Pigs are the only other known species besides humans that derives physical pleasure from sex.
It is technically illegal to drive a car in downtown atlanta.

A desert is not a dessert. Dessert is tasty. And last but most importantly:
A desert is just an area with lack of vegetation, hot or cold.

I've heard this before and I call bullshit.
I've seen many dogs fucking away at people's legs, loving every second of it

I was going to say the same thing. I'm also aware that certain species of monkey pleasure each other regardless of their partners sex.

Hmmm....This raises an interesting question with me. My little brother was born with all of his organs reversed. His heart is more to the right, his liver is on the left, etc, etc. No doctor my bro has ever seen had ever seen anything like it. This almost got him killed when he got appendicitis and nobody thought he had that, because it took people quite a while to be like, "oh duh. No wonder the pain's on his left side.) Also almost got him killed in a sense, because the doctors when he was born and this was noticed said that if ALL of his innards weren't reversed he wouldn't stand a chance.
Anyway, I wonder, if it is in fact true that all men's left nut hangs lower, does my little brother's right nut hang lower. I'll have to ask him and report back.
