10 unnecessary stupid facts that you're still glad you know now

Look, I'm not going to tell you that you need this information in life, but it's nice. To shine at birthdays for example or to tickle your own brain. Man, it could just be a question in Lotto Weekend Millionaires. That's what I mean. Useless info is anything but useless. Here it comes.

1. Peladofobia is the fear of bald people.

2. In Thailand, it is forbidden to leave your house without wearing underwear. Uh. I might have done that on vacation once, by the way, when I wore a certain dress that didn't look good with underwear. Oops.

3. All lighthouses in the Netherlands (there are 67 by the way) turn clockwise, except for the one in Urk. That one has to be different and turns exactly counterclockwise. That dirty rebel.

4. There are eighteen species of bats living in the Netherlands. (@Lilian, I’m sorry for this fluttery horror scenario.)

5. HA. I like this and I think you didn't know this either. The logo of the lollipop brand Chupa Chups was created by artist Salvador Dalí.

6. In the Netherlands, there are more than 250 species of dandelions. Just so you know, huh.

7. The Napoleon lemon candies were actually created by a very jealous guy who wanted to compete with an entrepreneur who launched a praline under the name ‘Julius Caesar’. The slogan is also fun by the way: ‘bon bon aparte’, which is a pun on ‘Bonaparte.’ Well thought out, that guy.

8. A giant anteater consumes about 30,000 ants a day. Ah gosh, those poor ants.

9. Wow. In no African language is there a word for depression, as in: feeling gloomy and down.

10. In Japan, a quarter of people in their twenties and thirties are still virgins. In fact: nearly 1 in 10 people in their forties are still virgins.
