I have more talent in a fart than you do in your body.....

Hello all

Some of you may find that title a bit strange but it came from a book, one of my favourite books to be more precise, "The World's Greatest Book of Useless Information".

This blog is nothing more than to share you some of my favourite facts and bits of information from that book. Please note the book is several years old now so these could easily be out of date, but they're still funny and interesting nevertheless.

14. Cows can smell odours from 6 miles away.
15. A survey in America (I'm assuming that was back in the early 90s) shows that 12% of Americans believe Joan of Arc was Noah's wife.
16. Until the 1950s Tibetans got rid of their dead by hacking them to pieces and feeding them to birds.

22. In Iowa kisses may last no longer than 5 minutes
23. If a child burps in a church in Nebraska, his parents can be arrested.
24. Speaking of Nebraska, it's illegal for a woman to give her daughter a perm without a licence
25. In ancient Cambodia it was illegal to insult a rice plant.
