Useless Trivia

Recommended Posts

A bull is not made angry by seeing a red cape, in fact, a bull cannot really see the color red... bulls are color-blind.


Only the female mosquito sucks blood. The males just drink nectar.

People's hair and nails do NOT grow after the person dies... it just looks that way.

95% of the gas in farts is air that you swallowed as you ate.


And none of this trivia is useless... that is, if you play Jeopardy on a regular basis. ;)B|

you could always have a duct system under the seats in an otter and feed all the methane to a jet engine... free extra altitude! more altitude, more methane, more altitude, more methane.... B|


Which would in turn eliminate unwanted odors within the plane!;)

The Eisenhower Interstate System requires that one mile in every five be straight- these sections are useable as airstrips in wartime or emergencies.

you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

The etymology of the word Woman comes from the two words Woe and Man.

Skydiving is easy. All you have to do is relax while plummetting at 120 mph from 10,000' with nothing but some nylon and webbing to save you.

The infinite sum of 1/n^2 converges to pi^2/6. This is extremely difficult to demonstrate. In fact, the calculation of that limit is considered one of the turning points of mathematics to the abstract analysis we have today. This is because it requires Fourier calculus, which was considered mostly a curiousity and wasn't taken seriously until it solved this very difficult problem. Fourier used abstract reasoning in his method akin to what we use today.

=================================

Ok that took me a while to remember this. I guess your referring to the geometric series of 1/(x^2). Yeah I did never see the usefulness of geometric series myself.
But anyway, lets look at a rough estimation of this. 1+1/4+1/9+1/16+1/25+1/36+1/49... upto 1.51 is what you have on one end.
Then you got (pi^2)/6. Hmm approximately 9.86/6 or 1.64 makes sense. Although I vaguely rember a similar series that went to infinity.
If I could make a wish, I think I'd pass.
Can't think of anything I need
No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound.
Nothing to eat, no books to read.
