CrazyCatLover Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 One dark day in the middle of the night Two dead boys got up to fight. Back to back, they faced each other, Drew their swords, and shot one another. A deaf policeman heard the shot, And came a-running at a trot. If you don't believe this lie is true, Just ask the blind man -- he saw too. Link to post Share on other sites

abandoned-account Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 There was this YouTube poop I recall watching in 2009(?) that was just titled something like "KOOOOOOOOOOOOOKY" and I can still probably quote a good portion of it, lol.

Anthracite_Impreza Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Motacilla alba It's the scientific name for the white wagtail, and though I know a fair few species names from being a dork, I have no idea why I remember that one in particular.

Scottthespy Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 So many things...my grandma once called me a veritable font of useless information. I have so many random things memorized...old nursery rhymes, the origins of words and sayings, songs I learned for my grade school choir twenty years ago. But possibly the most useless thing? The third of my three Latin phrases: Mi aricumbens anquilis abundant. My hovercraft is full of eels. Link to post Share on other sites

Lady.Saturnina.94 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 For me, the most useless thing I still have memorized is something out of some encyclopedias from circa 1963; it is a grocery shopping list that is given to provide an example about how memory works. The list is: Milk Butter Eggs Bread Steak LETTUCE (capitalized on purpose; you're more likely to remember it) Peas Potatoes Apples Pudding It's been years since I looked at that entry and I still remember it in the order given. I am not certain as to why. 🤷♀️ Link to post Share on other sites

lowLifeLoner Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Random tank, car, gun, physics and maybe at a stretch computer facts that are almost completely useless. But hey, Its great fun to say things like "the leopard 2 was armed with the 120mm L44 rheinmetall cannon that could fire an Armour Piecing Fin stabilised discarding sabot round made from depleted uranium at 2400M/s capable of penetrating upwards of 400mm of kinetic protection such as rolled homogeneous steel armour plating" Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 494-8006 <--- The number used to connect to a text-only account with my first ISP. 🤢 I was running at 2400 bps for most of the time I had that thorn in my side, and had to log in at 300 bps if I wanted to print anything on a serial printer without overloading the print buffer.

Skycaptain Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 My grandparents shopping bill from a trip to Tesco in 1979. I only remember because the cashier had rung in a wrong amount, and it came to £21.83, rather than the £10.83 I'd made it. Even more uselessly the error was because that'd rung in a tin of peas as £11.11, rather than 11p Link to post Share on other sites
fooledbysecrecy Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 my brain is mostly full of old disney cartoon quotes and i could probably recite the entire comet in moominland film by heart. (all these in finnish tho as that's where i grew up) and i suppose that's why i can't store any new information these days. (although depression might play a little role in that too.)

Lunala Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 For some reason back in Early 2018 I taught myself Morse Code while bored. / ... - .. .-.. .-.. / -.- -. --- .-- / .. - / ("Still know it") Also the hundreds of time I get obsessed with random stuff, watch/read it on repeat over and over and get the entire thing stuck in my head to the point where I can just randomly recite it again and again. Like that "He's A Tramp" song from Lady and The Tramp. I used to watch that on repeat for MONTHS until the disc got jammed in the DVD player and I tried to stick a knife into the disc and broke the DVD player thing. (It was this little screen thing with a slot on the side, sort of like an Ipad/TV thingy, not an actual Blu-Ray player or whatever you connect to the TV) Link to post Share on other sites
