Useless information that I acquired today:

• When you are a afraid, stressed out or have anxiety you produce more earwax than usual
• Before seamstresses could get beeswax they used their own earwax to prevent threads from fraying
• Some types of hummingbirds ride on the backs of geese during migration because they cannot fly so far
• Humans are the only creatures that shed emotional tears
• My grandpa's family would dig holes in the ground to keep their food cold

Most of my silliness comes from http://www.learnsomethingeveryday.co.uk/, which is fantastically wonderful.
