Idea #7: Learn useless pieces of information

When not in school or at work, there's plenty of time to learn useless (and some useFUL) facts.

Here is what I have gathered today:

Minsk is the capital of Belarus, a landlocked country in Europe.
An earthquake in Port-au-Prince in 1770 destroyed all the buildings in the French colony (what would become Haiti).
"A human being has a natural desire to have more of a good thing than he needs." - Mark Twain
A newborn kangaroo is about 1 inch in length.
There is a new cupcake place in Chicago called "Sprinkles".
Justin Timberlake will be starring in the movie about how Facebook was started.
I haven't seen engagement announcements on Facebook in at least a week.
Tony Hayward will leave his BP CEO job with $18.5 million. And he'll most likely get another job before I do.
