Useless Facts

The Comic Sans font was originally intended to be used in Microsoft Bob, but wasn’t finished in time for its release in 1995, so it’s first actual use was in Microsoft 3D Movie Maker (also released in 95)

In J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendarium, there are two locations called Minas Tirith.

The first was a fortress of the Noldor elves on the isle of Tol Sirion during the First Age.
The second, which is also known as Minas Anor, is the capital of Gondor during the War of the Ring.

In 501 years it will be the year 2525, if man is still alive.

Numbered years are arbitrary designations. According to the Thai Solar Calendar, 2525 was when the compact disc hit the market, the Vancouver Canucks got trounced by New Yorkers, and Stephen Spielberg made $792,900,000 at the box office.

Romans played the bagpipes on Hadrian’s Wall to torment the Scots, but the damn Scots liked it and stole the instrument.

It’s the end of the world as we know it! We’re now in World War III!!

Napoleon III, Adolf Hitler, George Takei and Andy Serkis were all born on 20 of april.

Also on 20 of april, hatched Mike the Headless Chicken.

On 4/20/45, the Red Army celebrated Hitler’s 56th birthday with a generous gift of 10-12cm artillery shells, which Hitler desperately needed, sent by air from 12km away.

Unfortunately, most of them exploded upon landing.

Keven Peter Hall, who plays the predator in Predator, also has an uncredited cameo as the helicopter pilot in the last scene.

Is such a thing even possible?

Yes it is.

Genghis Khan’s Mongol Empire was a great defender of the concept of diplomatic immunity, considering ambassadors to be as sacred and inviolable as the Great Khan himself. They would sometimes destroy entire cities that mistreated their ambassadors. This was also a major cause of the mongol invasion of the Khwarazmian Empire.

the original leatherman from the Village People, Glenn Hughes, was straight (although he did get the idea for the costume at a gay bar, but they don’t always check your bona fides at the front back door).

He was replaced with Eric Anzalone, also straight, after getting lung cancer.

The word “dunce” comes from the name of catholic philosopher-theologian John Duns Scotus.

Because his followers argued against Renaissance humanism, the humanists and reformers used the term “duns” or “dunce” as a term of abuse and a synonym for one incapable of scholarship. The meaning of the word later expanded to any stupid person.

A dunce cap is a conical hat that a school pupil is forced to wear to indicate that he or she is a dunce.

LEGO doesn’t want to release LEGO My Little Pony sets until 2026 but this rumor could be false on actual LEGO sets.

NGL, I was just thinking of guys with long blonde hair like Legoass from Lord of the Rings when you posted something about Legos.

Behold, Lego Legolas:

(My useless fact for the day is that this exists)

@Twiface
“Laegolas”, or “Legolas” in the silvan dialect, is a sindarin name which means “Greenleaf”.

“Laeg” is a rare archaic word for “green”. (The normal word is “calen”.)
“Golas” is a prefixed collective form of “las” which means leaf.

“Laicolassë” was the quenya cognate of name “Laegolas”.
