Default Your Totally Useless Fact Of The Day... 06/09
Here's your totally useless fact of the day............

A person standing under an oak tree is 16 more times liable to be hit by lightning than if he had taken refuge beneath a beech tree. The oak tree has vertical roots which provide a more direct route to ground water.
