    Totally useless facts ...

    I just learnt today that Indonesia and the Principality of Monaco have identical flags ... at least they're both red and white and ones is fatter or shorter than the other.

    Well, obviously none of you look at the flags of Indonesia and the Principality of Where-ever because their similarities are incredible, unlike the flags of the USA, Russia, England who all only have colour in common. Then again, it was a totally useless fact!!

    There is a tiny unincorporated hamlet in Northern California called "Rough and Ready".

    ===

    There is a town in New Mexico called Truth or Consequences.

    ===

    There is a hamlet called Tuba City on an Indian Reservation in Northern Arizona. When I first saw that place-name my mind did a double-take: Do they craft Tubas there?

    The distance to the moon measured in feet is 1,261,000,000.
