Useless Information http://home.nycap.rr.com/useless/ "Stuff you never needed to know but your life would be incomplete without" A website which has no lofty aspirations. This thoroughly enjoyable site created by Steve Silverman, a New York state high school science teacher and author, offers a diverting assortment of off-beat stories culled from newspapers around the world. Among the site's categories are Forgotten Genius, which includes colorful tales of Paul Kammerer, Joseph Priestley and Jack Hall; the aptly entitled Hmmm . . . features stories about The Coldest Profession, The Pudding Guy and P.T. Barnum among others. Further sections delve into the wonderful world of Inventive Genius and Presidents and Rulers. ~*~*~*~*~ Was this forwarded to you? Want to subscribe?
