--Useless Knowledge, tell us something we don't know---

Did you know the Empire State Building weighs approximately 365,000 tons?

To make a one-pound comb of honey, bees must collect nectar from about two million flowers.

The longest main street in America, 33 miles in length, can be found in Island Park, Idaho.

The highest known score for a single word in competition Scrabble is 392. In 1982, Dr. Saladin Khoshnaw achieved this score for the word "caziques," which means an Indian chief.

There may be a giant black hole at the center of our galaxy, weighing as much as 4 million Suns. The black hole may be capturing stars, gas, and dust equivalent to the weight of three Earths every year.

The average daily growth of a bamboo plant is 35.4 inches.

According to a survey, an estimated 5.5 million Americans believe they have been defrauded into buying something over the phone. A U.S. subcommittee has estimated that while telemarketing fraud costs consumers more than $40 billion a year, only about one in 10,000 victims reports the problem to authorities.

Every three seconds, an area of the South American rain forest the size of a football field is cut down.

Seven thousand years ago, the ancient Egyptians bowled on alleys not unlike our own.

Worker ants can carry up to 50 times their own body weight. Worker ants are always female.

A single bee only creates about 1/8th a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime.

Bees are becoming extinct, and without them much of the plant life on Earth will die.

It's believed that a black hole lies at the heart of every galaxy. But the one that is in the Milky Way lies dormant.

The study of super massive black holes is actually very recent, we didn't start learning a lot about them until the 90's I think. We still don't have an actual photo of one, we just have a ton of scientific evidence thats show that they are there.

I watched a few documentary's about it. It's a pretty interesting topic actually, a lot of it is pretty hard to even comprehend.

Like the stars and gases that make up a super massive black holes quasar, are moving at around 500 million miles an hour. That's what I remember of it anyway.

That's pretty cool. Correct me if I'm wrong but we don't have an actual photo of these super massive black holes that are believed to be at the heart of every galaxy.

There were no red colored M&Ms from 1976 to 1987.

"A Hubble Space Telescope image shows a spiral-shaped disk of dust fueling a massive black hole in the center of galaxy NGC 4261. Astronomers calculate that the object at the center of the disk is 1.2 billion times the mass of our sun, yet it is concentrated into a space not much larger than our solar system."

We can't get an actual picture of the super massive black hole because all of the shit around it basically.
