Default useless facts

Is a page where useless is posted.

Here is one of them and I hope you will contribute too.

In 1980, the Englishman Tony Hiam was stunned that even on camping trips, his brother ironed his clothes. Tony Hiam therefore decides to make fun of the unnecessary ironing by taking his ironing board and iron with him to strange places and ironing clothes to the amazement of passers-by. Over time, this idea evolved into the sport of "extreme ironing", where people iron in the strangest places, e.g. over 5 km up Mount Everest, over a gorge, during a half-marathon and on a motorway, just as the world record for most underwater people was set in 2008, with 72 divers simultaneously underwater. However, the record has been broken several times since and now stands at 173 people.
