Useless rare facts.

What to do? We come across so many things in our daily browsing. Some news interests us while most don't. We either blog that amuses us or just dump after reading.

As a rule of thumb (?), I don't dump anything as useless. What is useless to me may be very useful to others.

1. The phrase "rule of thumb" is derived from an old English law which stated that you couldn't beat your wife with
anything wider than your thumb.

2. Hawaii's Mount Waialeale is the wettest place in the world - it rains throughout the year and about 460 inches
per annum.

3. In the 1930's, American track star Jesse Owens used to race against horses and dogs to earn a living.
