Anybody remember Cliff Claven from Cheers? He had a lot of disinteresting knowledge. He knew a lot about all kinds of things no one else really cared about.

example:
An ostrich's eye is bigger that it's brain.
A pregnant goldfish is called a twit.
A pig's orgasm lasts for 30 minutes. (ew! really - who cares?)

I live for knowledge like that. I don't think it's disinteresting at all.

It's fabulous when you can work one of those facts into a conversation.

I still remember my first factoid....If you pick a guinea pig up by the tail, it's eyes will fall out.
