Default The Useless Facts Thread

Now we have a The "what" Ever Thread i was wondering if we could do a useless facts thread full of things you should`nt know, that are true but totally usless,
Like The word "queue" is the only word in the English language that is still pronounced the same way when the last four letters are removed. or

Earth is the only planet not named after a god.
or even these stupid things
It's against the law to burp, or sneeze in a church in Nebraska, USA.
The elephant is the only mammal that can't jump!
or
Owls are the only birds who can see the colour blue.
so you got useless facts rolling around in that brain of yours?
