Okay, so Mental Floss is actually the name of a really interesting magazine, but I'm hijacking it for this post.
This thread was inspired by Diana's 'have you ever wondered' thread. There are some really funny questions in there, but also interesting ones! It reminded me how much I love random bits of trivia. I know a lot of things that will do me no good until I am on Jeopardy raking in the millions.
I know I'm not alone here.
TELL ME YOUR RANDOM THINGS THAT YOU KNOW! I want to know all the useless tidbits! :D
I will start.
Did you know that golfers used to have two caddies instead of just one? The second was called a forecaddy, and their job was to hunt down the balls that went wayyyy off where they weren't supposed to, such as in the woods or grass. That is why golfers will sometimes still yell 'fore!'. It used to be a way to say 'heads up!' to the poor caddy that had to go tromping off to find the stupid thing :D
