OK, as if my bank of useless trivia weren't already large enough, extensive watching of the Discovery Channel and Animal Planet has boosted the amount of meaningless minutae by an inordinate amount.
Do I need to know that female hyenas have clitorises that are, oddly enough, shaped like penises?
I now know much more about the bushmaster, the reticulated python, the boomslang and the fer de lance than anyone other than a herpetologist — or someone bitten by one of the aforementioned snakes — has any business knowing.
I also have a treasure trove of data on ancient Peruvians, theories about Atlantis being in South America and crop circles.
My curse is to know a little about a whole lot of things.
The mad and often disjointed rantings of a large man. Warning: Posts on this blog may not be suitable for younger readers.
