Useless Information
It’s late at night. You’ve had a hard day surfing the net. Okay, you’ve had a day of surfing the net. Now it’s time for some activity of the lighter side. No, I don’t mean light bulbs or feather pillows. Today’s site is enough for all of us to have some fun with.
It is called Useless Information. To coin a phrase of Forest Gump, “Useless is as useless does”. The data on this site is of such a wide variety it is hard to put under a single subject. What is interesting to one person someone else will probably care less about? Where else could you learn about Hedy Lamarr, 1940’s movie star, patenting an invention that would be the foundation for modern day missile guidance systems? Find out about the term of President David Rice Atchison, and the unique place where he spent his entire term of office. (Hint: it wasn’t the White House). Learn about the day that Niagara Falls quit falling, and find out about the many uses of Vaseline.
These are just a few of the Ripley-esque type of articles that are on this site. All of them are true, and all are vveeerrrryyyy interesting. Enjoy your stop.

In the 70’s it was trendy for children to sleep in the same bed with their parents to “bond”. This was called by a particular name. Does anyone recall what it was called?? (other than stupid). Thanks.
