11/29/2025 “THE 90’S”   Leave a comment

I thought I’d been fairly consistent in blogging quizzes from almost all of the decades. A few readers (mostly Millennials) claim that I’m biased towards the 90’s because I’m just an out-of-touch “Old Fart”. Well, this old fart will properly respond to those critics (young wise asses) with the first of many 90’s related quizzes. Let’s see just how smart they really are. Here are ten questions that will test these so-called critics and their vast (imagined) knowledge of damn near everything. As always the answers are listed below.

  • Who succeeded North Korean leader Kim Ill-sung after his death in 1994?
  • Who is the author of the dystopian novel The Giver?
  • Which late-night talk-show host was formerly a writer on the Simpsons?
  • Which push-up bra became famous in the 90s?
  • What ancient wind instrument featured in the title of the Legend of Zelda Game released in 1998?
  • What Formula One motor racing resulted in the tragic deaths of Ayrton Senna and Roland Ratzenberger
  • Name the 1999 film of the real-life story of Brandon Tenna, for which lead actress Hillary Swank was awarded the Best Actress Academy Award?
  • What’s spinning dolls were recalled after the manufacturer received more than 100 complaints of injuries?
  • What was the name of the Spice Girls third and final album?
  • What classic work of literature is Helen Fielding’s Bridget Jones Diary roughly based on?

08/24/2024 “TOTALLY USELESS INFORMATION”   Leave a comment

I always make a point of searching out odd facts from as many sources as possible. Today’s list is what this blog is really all about, totally useless information and totally useless statistics. Some are humorous and some are silly but never doubt my ability to come up with useless information that has absolutely no value whatsoever.

  • Thirty-nine percent of women who think their legs are fat still wear short skirts.
  • In seventy-five percent of American households, the women manage the money and pay the bills.
  • If the population of China began walking past you in single file, the line would never end because of the rate of reproduction.
  • There is a lawsuit filed every thirty seconds in the United States.
  • Approximately 30,000 Americans are injured by toilets every year.

  • Forty-five percent of cat owners buy holiday gifts for their pet.
  • A four-year-old child asks an average of 437 questions a day.
  • The average American spends eight years of his life watching television.
  • The average human produces 50,000 pints of spit in a lifetime – the equivalent of two small swimming pools.
  • The average person over the age of 50 will have spent a year of their life looking for lost or mislaid items.
