This is a question Useless Information

Did you know that crabs wee through their eyes? That maidenhair moss is so called because Anglo-saxons thought it looked like pubes? That Albanians have 17 different words for moustache? Astound us with your utterly useless and obscure knowledge.

Hope this hasn't been said yet.
Starfish had been taking over a number of coves in some fishing community. Don't recall which. To alleviate the problem, fishermen would reel in the starfish, cut them up, and throw back the "dead" starfish.

What they didn't know is that if you cut a starfish into pieces, so long as there is a portion of the center on a given piece, you may grow a whole new starfish.


No longer do they fish.
