Randomness

Since I first met my husband, he as been pumping me full of useless information. Little known facts that will get a person no where. It is kind of a weird thing he does, but none the less it continues through the years. I want to share some of that randomness today.

Dueling is legal in Paraguay as long as both parties are register blood donors.

Cuba is the only island in the Caribbean to have a railroad.

In ancient Scotland, every leap year maidens were allowed to ask a man to be her husband, refusal cost him a pound.

Barbie's full name is "Barbara Millicent Roberts."

Leonardo Da Vinci invented the scissors.

Adolf Hilter's mother seriously considered having an abortion but was talked out it by her doctor.

Queen Victoria eased the discomfort of her menstrual cramps by having her doctor supply her with marijuana.


There you have it. Your useless information for the day.
