Unfortunately, this is the kind of stuff that dominates my thinking most of the time.

Did you know that, through water, light travels at 75% the speed of light?

Sounds travels through water four times faster than it travels though air.

Just like the wind, sunlight has pressure, about 2 pounds per square mile.

I'm like that as well, a true Info Hound (I tried to get infohound.com years ago but it was already gone) and am always quite adept at things like Trivial Pursuit. Friends have called me "the Professor" because I usually have some tidbit of factual information about whatever subject is at hand.

A veritable warehouse of otherwise useless information. . .
