Useless facts

Post a useless fact....



While drug-sniffing dogs are trained to bark like crazy, go "aggressive" at the first whiff of the right powder... Bomb-sniffing dogs are trained to go "passive" lest they set off a motion sensor or a noise sensor or any number of other things that might go kablooie.
Beep boop. I'm a bot.

    A "jiffy" is a unit of time: 3.3357 times 10 raised to the -11 (3.3357x10^-11) seconds. So named for the length of time it takes light to travel a cm in a vacuum.

    I've heard that about Bulgaria. It's strange that I've never heard it's the same in Albania, seeing as I know some Albanians...
