Post 3 useless facts

[Geds]

Ok, I'm new here so I thought I'd start a thread that would just be fun to goof off in.

 

 

Here all you have to do....

 

Think up 3 useless facts, and post them. You can come back as many times as you like, as some of us probably have thousands of useless facts...we just haven't had to organize them before.

 

If you see a fact that you believe is actually USEFUL, or not entirely fact, challenge it. It makes for some interesting dialogue.

 

Here's mine:

 

1. I started this thread solely to get attention.

2. I get excited when I hear Rush on the radio, even though I own every commercial CD they ever put out, along with all the cassettes.

3. I will be back with more useless facts.

 

BTW, for those who didn't see my Gradiose entrance to the board...I'm Ken. (oops...that's actually 4 useless facts...)

 

Your turn!
