Anybody know of any useless but interesting facts?

I will start with this one

All the batteries on Earth store just ten minutes of the world's electricity needs.
 
Since I lived in Gibraltar I picked up a few useless facts: -

It's the only active runway in the world to have a road running across it.
There are twice as many miles of tunnels as public roads.
There is just under 1 registered vehicle per citizen, the 5th highest in the world.
It's one end of the world's shortest intercontinental flight, to Tangier at 43 miles.
It's the only place in Europe with a wild primate population.
 
There are three places called Birmingham - in the UK, the US, and on the moon.

Interesting but incorrect. In the US there are 15 places called Birmingham including Alabama, Conneticut, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey .......
 
You can see Wales from Dublin, 140 km away:
