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.

wow how interesting
Albania is named after Scotland. The first westerners there saw the native johnnies walking round in kilts and playing bagpipes, and named it "Albany", the old term for Scotland.
The Albanians' own word for their country is Shqperiqe or something.
