If it were not for Thomas Edison, we would all be watching television in the dark.

The Main Library at Indiana University sinks over an inch every year. Engineers failed to account for the weight of all the books that it would eventually hold.

Re: Useless Information!
Now here's a puzzle for you Dave - or anybody else, for that matter....
If that library continues to sink at the same rate every year in the future, how long will it take to re-appear on the opposite side of the earth and where, exactly, will that be?
Answers on a postcard to.....
Indiana University,
3050 E. Discovery Parkway,
Bloomington,
IN 47408
USA
Closing date for entries is - before it disappears from its current site.
The person whose answer is closest will receive a Masters Degree in Peri Bathous

Re: Useless Information!
Funny Footballer's Names.
Norman Conquest
Norman Conquest, was a goalkeeper, unfortunately remembered for shipping 17 goals in one game. However his invasive name more than makes up for his abilities.
Mark de Man
You really could not design a more apt name for a footballer. Mark De Man is Belgian and plays for KSC Hasselt.
Danger Fourpence
A Zimbabwean defender who plays for Kiglon Bird FC. Unfortunately he is better known for his unique name rather than his footballing abilities.
I've Googled the three above and apparently they are true. There are more here.

Re: Useless Information!
I’m glad you only posted those three, Dave and not some of the others. I might have had to issue you with a red card*, otherwise.
