I'm not sure if this will catch on but I thought, what the hey! We're writers and as such we've proabbly accumulated a TON of useless, miselanious facts! So I figured maybe we'd like to put them together!
My tip of the day is this, if possible NEVER take anitiboitics. Believe it or not, they're more likely to do you harm than good! They get rid of your natural germs and make it easyer for forien germs to invade! I was told this by a doctor and am personlly proof of it. My cousin and I have two diffrent mothers, hers gives her antibotics always, I've had maybe 5 in my LIFE. She's sick at least once a month, and I'm ALMOST never sick.
I'm not saying don't take them or anything, I'm just saying that you should ask.
Another tip, on hiccups! If you swallow when upside down it helps them alot!
Hehe anyone else have random tidbits they'd like to add?

Oh my, I have to dig out all the notes my dad's left me. He has an obsession with useless information and he always leaves us Post-It notes all over the place with little random facts on them. For my 19th birthday he left me 19 pink heart-shaped Post-Its. Yeah, he's crazy, but at least I know I get it from somebody! I'll see what I can find.

Hiccups are actually spasms in your diaphram. And yes, antibiotics can usually do more harm than good because they kill ALL the antibodies, good and bad. Sometimes the bad antibodies come back quicker than the good ones, and they make you sick....plus, your body can build up an immune to certain antibiotics, so they no longer do any good. So I think you should take them only when positively necessarily, such as if you have a seriously infection condition that you have to take antibiotics or else you'll be the start of an epidemic.
Chocolate can give people headaches from the caffeine, but at the same time, coffee and tylenol, or your pain reliever of choice, can relieve headaches because of the caffeine speeding up your blood flow.
Papaya is good on your digestive system, and there are enzymes you can take after eating to prevent heartburn and indegestion. Ginger is the same way.
A higher percentage of people prefer Coke to Pepsi because Coke has "fonder memories" of "the good old days" rather than Pepsi. And yes, there is a difference in taste. Pepsi is more of a, for lack of better description, sickly sweet in my opinion.
And just a tip...it is not a good idea to jump off of a ladder and land on a piece of tree branch that is about a quarter of an inch in diameter and get it stuck in your foot. From a friend's experience, it just isn't smart.

Haha wow!
My tips for the day.
You really SHOULDN'T wash dishes in a thunder storm. Both of my parents were electricuted by doing that. Thankfully it hit a ways off so it wasn't the full fource of the lightning bolt.
You really SHOULDN'T leave rocks laying around in the yard. My mom was mowing the lawn one day when dad had a band practice. She hit a rock and it spun up through the mower, through the window, and made a chip in our concrete wall right next to the drummer's head. The mark's still there.
You really SHOULDN'T walk around with old lumber around. Both of my parents have put rusty nails through their feet doing that. My tip if you HAVE to walk around old lumber? Where platforms! It's what I did and I didnt' get a single nail. Of course latter that year I was gardening in sneakers and stepped on a thorn that was longer than my finger... so ya... I guess another tip is what comes around goes around.
Last but not least. If you hold your head at an angle and pour water in one nostril it will run out the other. How sick is that? I know from experiance cause I have a sinus infection and mom thinks that's grounds to tourture me with sprays and that rince. But ya... I guess you could say in one nostril and out the other... ICK! How sick!

That is pretty sick.
"Dreamt" is the only word that can acceptably end in "mt" in the English language.
Just a tip, it is not a wise idea to leave a hamster cage in plain site of two once-feral cats...someone ends up bleeding.
Male fireflies can flash their whatever-makes-the-shiny-light about five times a second to attract female fireflies....something like that.
And Confusious say "Don't use cannon to kill mosquito."
