Did you know the origin of the term Sweet Fuck All dates back to 1867

The eight-year-old Fanny Adams was murdered in Alton, England in August 1867 by Frederick Baker, a 24-year-old solicitor's clerk. Her dismembered body was found in a field near the town. The case was the source of enormous public concern and newspaper reports of the time concentrated on the youth and innocence of the victim. Everyone living in England at the time would have known the name of 'sweet' Fanny Adams. The British Royal Navy came to use the expression to refer to unpleasant meat rations they were often served - likening them to the dead girl's remains. It wasn't until later that 'sweet Fanny Adams' came to mean 'nothing'. The term 'fuck all' has long been with us with that meaning, although how long isn't clear as politeness caused it not to be recorded in print until the 20th century. It surely dates back to at least the early 19th century. The coincidence of Fanny Adams' initials caused F.A. or 'Fanny Adams' to be used as a euphemism for 'fuck all'.

I love useless knowledge, but only if it's correct knowledge. A lot of these, especially in the comments, need to be double-checked. Anyway, what can I add?

The lighter was invented before the friction match (matches that could ignite off of friction, and not the matches requiring a spark to land on the stick).

It cost more money to make the movie Titanic than to actually build the ship.

It's possible to die from a broken heart; it's called Stress Cardiomyopathy.

You can't kill yourself by holding your breath (although you'll probably kill some brain cells).

Humans can be poisoned by chocolate just like dogs.

Hot water freezes faster than cold water, and scientists still don't know why.

Ten out of ten people fail this challenge:
DO NOT READ THIS SENTENCE.

If you go to Wendy's and say "I'm not from this area. I'm lost and don't have any money!" They will give you free food according to Wendy's policy.

The alphabet song and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" have the same melody.

After reading this post you will realize that the the brain doesn't recognize a second "the."

There is a book called "Everything a Man Knows About Women" which is about 100 pages, all of which are blank.

The bulletproof vest was actually invented by a pizza delivery guy in Detroit after being shot twice while on the job.
