There are public
toilets in a city in
Australia, which
open automatically within 10 minutes. According to a municipal agent of the
city, those toilets could deter crimes like drug abuse, kidnapping, rape, etc.
Maybe they could do that to some extent but...
How about this one? A
Sphinx in Egypt
is looking at a signboard of
Kentucky fried Chicken! How nice
this combination of ancient times, modern times, cultural heritage, and fast
food is!
This information was
provided by a popular Japanese TV program "Spring of Trivia". I can learn
useless, trivial and funny knowledge from this program. I love it! We Japanese
say "Heee" when we are surprised to learn interesting things. So, commentators
in this program evaluate trivial knowledge submitted by viewers by awarding
"Heee points" according to how unique, funny, cute and interesting this trivial
knowledge is.
One day, the MC said
that the English word, “NEWS" originated from the words North, East, West and
South. As you can see, "NEWS" consists of the capital letters of the each word.
And news covers all the directions in the world.
Afterwards, the MC
smirked and said, "Don't you believe it? Oh, I'm sorry. it's not true, Actually,
"NEWS" originally came from the plural of NEW. Indeed, he confidently declared,
"Now that we know the facts, let's dump this fake information! We strongly
encourage you to submit confusing information to us in order to promote the
worldwide eradication of this information!"
Do you have any
trivial knowledge or confusing information? Don't you want "Heee" points?
Actually, those points are completely useless however.
