Post em here.

For instance, today I was able to spell "Caucasus" correctly at work in order to suggest/show that the word "caucus" is not related to the mountains which bear a similar name.

I'd be willing to include my innate ability to recall the date of the Magna Carta or the Battle of Hastings at will, but those aren't as useless. Just more on the funny side, since people in the US rarely give a shit about those two...

some people have a 'bump' like thing on the roof of their mouth, other's not. Running your tongue over it will answer the question for you

You actually don't get a free Tootsie Roll Pop when you find a wrapper w/ a Star on it.

Brain freeze is caused by the nerves on the roof of your mouth. They give your brain the impression that you are in a cold environment. To heat up the brain, your blood vessels start to swell, which causes the headache.

^^ that's more of a general statement than a fact. like saying: some people are ugly, some people are not. look around and you will see.

i concede.

Duckbilled Platypus males have poison like a snake in spurs on their hind legs. The poison can kill a dog and cause extreme pain in people.
