I have a head full of useless knowledge - mostly related to music.

Did you know the lead singer for the Guess Who was Burton Cummings?

The lead singer for Elvin Bishop (Fooled Around and Fell In Love) was Mickey Thomas who also went on to be lead singer for Jefferson Starship.

I could go on and on....

Most of the electric transmission system in TX (ERCOT) is isolated from the rest of the Eastern Interconnection by DC ties.

Colonel Saunders still controlled the Canuckistan KFC franchises after he sold off the 'merikun ones so he moved up here.
He spent most of his time complaining about the weather, bland Canuck food and getting grief for wearing white after Labour Day.
