Charloft: Bizarre and obscure facts
Name the five most obscure things you know, and tell us why or how you learned them.
Only five? This is going to be difficult.
1. I can recall every equation for Chaos Theory, Quantum Mechanics and Analytical Calculus without a pause. Work, teaching and education forced me to memorize them. I can still recall the equations that have been proven wrong or discarded from the fields, usually.
2. I know the average scat size for fifty dinosaur species. Thank you Ellie for bringing this to my attention. I don't know how I ever survived without knowing.
3. I am aware of which Mesozoic plants produce fruits, leaves, roots and/or shoots that are edible and nutritious to humans. Ellie you really have expanded my useless knowledge. I celebrate every day that this remains useless knowledge.
4. I know more about the herbaceous sources of Lysine and how Lysine concentrations move through the food chain than most people would ever want to know. All of this knowledge is from researching dinosaur survivorship with Sarah and Ellie.
5. I have extensive knowledge about gymnastics and the proper execution of gymnastic stunts. I also know the rules and how the events are scored. A direct product of having a daughter obsessed with thte sport.
