As the thread suggests.
A duck's quack doesn't echo.

Stu, that's a fail. I'm pretty sure Brainiac tested the duck thing and found it to be false.

Not a useless fact, but a denial of a useless fact, so a fact in it's own right, sort of  You CANNOT see the Great Wall of China from space! At least not with the naked eye from a spacecraft. I'm full of useless information, but I'll be damned if any of it is coming to mind at the moment.  _________________My lowest spec operational system- AT desktop case, 200W AT PSU, Jetway TX98B Socket 7, Intel Pentium 75Mhz, 2x16MB EDO RAM, 270MB Quantum Maverick HDD, ATI Rage II+ graphics, Soundblaster 16 CT2230, MS-DOS/Win 3.11 My Flickr

Yes you can.  You can't see it from the moon :p I suspect most of these facts are unsubstantiated intuition pumps.

The timing on the Suzuki DRZ-450 is a tooth out from the motocross version, thus giving it less top-end power but more low-end grunt. Useless?  _________________ Kimmotalk is where all the cool people hang.
