Useless Information is a blog that will deliver one piece of useless information to you via this blog or rss feed everyday. If you are like me, and really like soaking up information like a sort of information sponge then you will appreciate this blog.

I maintain another blog too, http://www.geekorati.co.uk which focuses on science and technology news, but the amount of useless info that one human can pick up each day really means it has to be shared.
