So my mom tells me all the time that I'm full of useless information.  So I was thinking about starting a thread where everyone can post their useless information.  You can post as many or as few as you want.  I'll start, and I'll probably add at least one a day.  But beware, if you post something as a fact, be ready to back it up if someone tries to dispute it.  I suggest posting a link or something of that nature showing where you got the information.

Fact:  Did you know there is a $100,000 bill featuring a portrait of Woodrow Wilson.  It was printed in 1934 and never placed in circulation.  This note cannot be legally held by a currency note collector.
