Yep.
Useless knowledge is what I'm known for.

Did you know Scaphognathine pterosaurs had 6 cervical vertebrae as opposed to the common 7?

In middle Jurassic china, there was a lineage of failed proto-birds with bat wings, with the most unpronouncable name ever conceived (Scansoriopterygidae).

There's a pelvis found of an Allosaurus that had it's pubic boot pierced by the tail spikes of a Stegosaurus. It died later of a massive bacterial infection.

Allosaurus were around 5 times more likely to get a bacterial infection than other dinosaurs, based on fossils.
(Yet they survived the most crazy kinds of injuries, like the aforementioned brutal nutshot).

There's a species of velvet worms, one of the most basal type of animal, that hunts in organized packs.
(they also shoot slime out of their antennae).

Maximum gape of Tyrannosaurus was 68 degrees. 
Allosaurus 79 degrees.

Cows often graze with their heads aligned with the magnetic field, so they most often graze heading either north or south. 
Same holds true for deer actually.

There was an isolated vertebra of an ichtyosaur (extinct marine reptile) that would have belonged to an idividual between 35 and 45 m long, and over 220 tonnes heavy, dethroning the blue whale as largest animal ever.
Sadly, the ship it was on, sank during a heavy storm. RIP

Did you know that the whole idea of "right-brained' and 'left-brained' people is completely fiction? Nearly everything your brain does, needs the other half to function properly. One side may be slightly more dominant than the other, depending on the person, but not every person's brain is. A strong relationship between both sides of the brain is required for a person's body to function properly.

Did you know: Food in your mouth must come into contact with saliva in order for you to taste it? There is a thin layer of saliva on the tongue at all times that causes a chemical reaction with the food to break it down and have the taste buds react to it.

There are three golf balls on the Moon. The mission which the golf balls was used was "Apollo 14" and all three crewmembers brought with them was unusual items which included tree seeds! The tree seeds were part of an experiment to see if trees can grow from seeds that have entered Lunar Orbit. The results can be seen today in the form of "Moon Trees", trees that have grown from the seeds taken aboard "Apollo 14".
