Was listed for Speedy Deletion, but doesn't fit criteria, so I'm bringing it here. I looked for trivia/quiz/factoid related articles that might have lists of a similar nature but found none to merge with. No vote. SWAdair | Talk 05:20, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. If you read the criteria, you'll see that Patent nonsense is a reason for speedy delete. But, I guess it doesn't matter. This will get rid of it too, it will just waste a bunch of people's time first... CB Droege 13:28, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * I frankly don't see anything saveable in this one. Delete.  -- Antaeus Feldspar 05:36, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Possible hoax by anon with no other contributions. The bit about left-handed polar bears is quoted on a couple of websites as being from the American Museum of Natural History website, and it ain't there. Unencyclopedic at best. Andrewa 05:39, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Patent nonsense. Gamaliel 06:00, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * I've made a copy of it and it may be fun to do some mythbusting I expect most of those "facts"to be myths anyway. Even if they were true, it's better to include the facts in their respective articles. Delete -- 131.211.151.97 10:04, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * Delete If ants could drink beer, what would they drink? Or are they whiskey fans? &mdash;ExplorerCDT 02:26, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not encyclopedic. --Improv 05:36, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Merge with polar bear, ant, China, elephant and barrel. Delete obvious nonsense. zoney &#09827; talk 17:41, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not encyclopedic. Will never be complete. What's "interesting" is in the point of view of the beholder. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 18:16, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete obvious nonsense. Bart133 21:43, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
