Here's a useless fact for ya':
Men have more blood than women. Men have 1.5 gallons for men versus 0.875 gallons for women. This of course explains why divorce courts work the way they do...

Sorry to say, but unlikely since Mary, Queen of Scots, is supposed to have played...
On the other hand, it says quite a bit about later players, doesn't it?

I always check that website myself when someone sends me some odd little tidbit, even when the email itself says "According to Snopes..." I clicked on one of those links once, and it led to a story directly contradicting the story! Just another way of trying to trick people, I guess, rotten little bastards...
Naw, I caught your attribution, but thought I would double-check. Too pat, I suppose.

Really? Did you know that Coca-Cola can also remove rust from a car bumper, and it can also dissolve a T-Bone steak within a matter of days?
Yeah, it's scary thinking what stuff you might be drinking all the time can do to you...

Here's a "Bones" one for you!
Human thigh bones are stronger than concrete.
now onto more useless facts (which I did NOT
get from this website [Only admins are allowed to see this link] or this one [Only admins are allowed to see this link] )
Right handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people
Adolf Hitler was a vegetarian, and had only ONE testicle. (Maybe that would explain why he was so angry)
Queen Elizabeth I regarded herself as a paragon of cleanliness. She declared that she bathed once every three months, whether she needed it or not
Honey is the only food that does not spoil. Honey found in the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs has been tasted by archaeologists and found edible.
Lincoln was shot on Good Friday.
Charlie Chaplin once won third prize in a Charlie Chaplin look alike contest.
Leonardo da Vinci could write with one hand and draw with the other at the same time.
The Taco Bell dog is a girl. Her name is Gidget.
George Washington grew marijuana in his garden.
Mickey Mouse was the first non-human to win an Oscar.
For many years, the globe on the NBC Nightly News spun in the wrong direction. On January 2, 1984, NBC finally set the world spinning back in the proper direction.
"60 Minutes" is the only show on CBS that doesn’t have a theme song.
In the Disney movie Aladdin, when Aladdin is talking to Jasmine right before taking her on a carpet ride, Rajah attacks him. Aladdin says, 'Get back, kitty' or something like that. Then he whispers to Jasmine telling her to take off her clothes.
In the original "Star Wars: A New Hope", Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker, called out the name of actress Carrie Fisher, who played Princess Leia, instead of actually calling out "Leia" in the scene near the end where he gets out of his X-wing after destroying the Death Star. The error was never caught.
Scooby Doo's first real name is Scoobert.
Because metal was scarce, the Oscars given out during World WarII were made of wood.
In the film 'Star Trek : First Contact', when Picard shows Lilly she is orbiting Earth, Australia and Papua New Guinea are clearly visible... but New Zealand is missing.
In the movie "Toy Story", the carpet designs in Sid's hallway is the same as the carpet designs in "The Shining."
The first fossilized specimen of Australopithecus afarenisis was named Lucy after the paleontologists' favorite song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds," by the Beatles.
That's enough for now... but, there's always more!!!
