My dad is a laird, he (and I) are descended from Old King Cole, and our family was given land by Robert the Bruce.

You did ask for useless facts, didn't you? 😉

The Indian Railway employs more than 1 million people.

It's more likely to rain on a Thursday than any other day of the week.
And, if you average the number of friends each of your friends has, they will, on average, have more friends than you. Weird statistical anomaly that one, but I like it.

The Queen owns all the land in the UK. The rest of us are merely holding it in trust.

Bob Greaves went bonkers, and whilst in a mental home he tried to flush some puppies down the toilet.

I fear this may be a fib.

That is a true fact. One of my inlaws worked in the very same place where it occurred. He wouldn't knowingly hurt puppies, it was his illness.
