When the great pyramids were being built there was still woolly mammoths walking the earth.
What is your interesting fact or knowledge that is completely useless that you wish to share?

If you took a horse's large intestine and stretched it out end-to-end, the horse would not survive.

“Space,” it says, “is big. Really big. You just won’t believe how vastly hugely mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist, but that’s just peanuts to space. Listen…” and so on.
To be fair though, when confronted by the sheer enormity of the distances between the stars, better minds than the one responsible for the Guide’s introduction have faltered. Some invite you to consider for a moment a peanut in Reading and a small walnut in Johannesburg, and other such dizzying concepts.

There are more hydrogen atoms in a single molecule of water than there are stars in the entire solar system

I’m going to go out on a limb and say all of them would die for one reason or another.
Also, my first experience with the internet back in 1994 was a page of elephant jokes, I feel I’ve come full circle now.

Did you know that if you took a blue whale, the largest mammal on earth, and laid it end to end, tail to mouth, on a basketball court, the game would be cancelled?

The moon causes tides, but mooning does not involve tiddies

It's hard to imagine any of them would live. I guess one near the top might survive by using the flood of elephant pieces to slow their fall. But an elephant can't survive a ~10 foot fall. That's about 2 elephants tall, and the bottom two or the ones I am most confident are dying in this.

The Moon is 384,400 km away from Earth. If you took every elephant on Earth and stacked them one atop another most of them would die.
