Ok, I know for a fact, that my brain is filled with all kinds of useless knowledge, interesting tidbits, and basically stuff I'll never actually use in my lifetime. Is this only me? or does everyone pick up this kind of stuff and carry it around with them all the time.
As example, off the top of my head, here's a couple things.
One thing I use to test if I'm too drunk or not, is whether or not I can remember that alcohol is a diuretic. (of course, I think I've been using this as a test too long, since I almost never forget the word diuretic anymore). Basically, for those who don't know, diuretic substances cause your body to lose more water than it really wants to.. (this is why hangover prevention techniques like drinking water work, and also why you wake up with a headache if you don't do this, you're basically dehydrated).
Also related to drinking (no, I'm not an alcoholic, honest *hic*), did you know that there's a substance in Ginger that stops you feeling nauseous? (depends on the kind of nausea, but works for hangover nausea)..
I'll think of more later, meanwhile, tell us all your most useless/useful fact..
