To my world of the weird, the strange, the unexplained......... no, I'm just kidding, this is a happy place......OK, maybe I am just a little weird.

Some useless things I didn't know......

Many sailors used to wear gold earrings so that they could afford a proper burial when they died.

The Nobel Prize resulted form a late change in the will of Alfred Nobel, who did not want to be remembered after his death as a propagator of violence - he invented dynamite.

When Albert Einstein died, his final words died with him. The nurse at his side didn't understand German.

St Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, was not Irish.

Pogonophobia is the fear of beards.

Ok, I've wasted enough time today....:-)
