Useless calendar facts:




While it may seem like trivia, it (causes huge headaches for software developers / is taken advantage of by high-speed traders / triggered the 2003 Northeast Blackout / has to be corrected for by GPS satellites / is now recognized as a major cause of World War I).

Useless fact: At w*rk the grilled chicken pieces have a flat side and a non-flat side. If I start them cooking on the non-flat side first they don't cook as well. This should not matter because halfway through I flip them over to cook on the other side. Both sides always get the same amount of cooking time. But they just cook better if I start them on the flat side first.

And I have no idea why, and the lack of a reason for this has been bugging me for years now.
