    To kick thing off I thought I'd share a usless thing I learn't today.

    Being a long time Black Adder fan always thought "Antidisestablishmentarianism " the longest English word but after looking up Wikki to settle an argument with my 11 year old daughter found out at 35 letters " Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia " which means " fear of long words " is debatably the longest.

    During the female orgasm, endorphins are released, which are powerful painkillers. So headaches are in fact a bad excuse not to have sex.

    You're welcome.

    If the woman in your life is unhappy, she will not be happy until you are unhappy.

    Hardly new, but I had forgotten about it.

    Hail damage to a roof is sometimes not seeable with the naked eye. It takes a trained roofing salesman to spot it. Now we'll see if the insurance adjuster has the same type of vision.

    The plastic or metal tips of the shoe laces are called Aglets. Is this useless enough?
