To want to know the useless facts you store in your brain..

[IseeNarcPeople]

The ones that never get an outting, the chance to use them has never arisen.
For instance, from the many useless facts in my brain:
The phrases "Not enough room to swing a cat" and "Don't let the cat out of the bag" are actually about a whip "Cat O' nine tails" which was kept as a warning and punishment on ships.
Oh and snails can sleep for three years.
Please release some of yours.

A diamond.

You cannot put your left hand over your head and grab your right ear (or visa versa) until you are at least 3 years old.

In the past in places where birth records are unclear it can be used to test if a child is old enough for school.

In Vietnam everyone celebrates their birthday on the same day with decorated houses and flowers. Some other countries use Jan 1st as everyone's birthday.

Me too!

I’ve come back to weigh in on this - whilst Edinburgh technically has 20 platforms, 3 of them share numbers (1/20, 2/19, 7/11) so it only has 17.

And me!

The word decrepit comes from the Latin word 'crepere', meaning 'to creak'.

I looked it up when I started feeling decrepit.

@Laistewe were supposed to meet back about height! DD is stunningly average after the prediction she would be 6 foot plus!

How far back are going ? 🤣 I know we've both been here since it was all fields!

DD1, 2 and 3 all roughly matched up to early predictions (early 20s now). DD2 the tallest at 5'8.

DD 4 is headed to hit the predicted 5'8 mark i think. She's still only 11 but comes up to my chin. I'm 5'5 ...

LOL. Nope, 14 and stopped growing at one inch shorter than me.

She's horrified!

You can get smelly “stones” made of belly-button crud, and they are called omphaloliths.
