Marcus Santiago was born and raised in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and was trained in art and illustration at The Kubert School, which specializes in comic books and graphic novels.

For quite a long time, however, Marcus struggled to get a career in art. He did some freelance work here and there, but he usually had full-time office jobs to pay the bills.

"I'm 41, married, no kids, and have lived in New Delhi since I was about 22 or so. It was only last year that I finally got a job in an animation studio writing scripts and drawing storyboards for animation projects," Marcus told Bored Panda. "It was around that time that I started Useless Facts, Badly Drawn."

It's a project through which Marcus shares interesting trivia accompanied by his own illustration. He says it's 100% interesting but 110% useless knowledge you're guaranteed never to use. Unless, of course, you know how to get a seat at Jeopardy!

    Perhaps the USA government should restart the publishing of Continuum denying the existence of Covid-19 and make Trump head editor.

    Only a few people within half a mile experienced vomíting and the evacuation part is a myth not supported by actual records.

    In a program on pyramids an archaeologist noted that no one knows how many pyramids there actually are as satellite imaging has shown many possible pyramids buried in the sands.

    This is a very interesting story but Sealand isn't officially recognised as a country by anyone, so it's status as one is highly debatable.

    You can still go see some of these monks today. One of the most famous, Tetsumonkai, even wears sunglasses from time to time.

    His name was Mithridates VI, he was no roman general but King of Pontos and and so a sworn enemy of Rome....

    Well that seems odd. Why do we always assume aliens would have superior/advanced technology? Is it not plausible they are developing at a comparable rate or simply short of an ability to reach us and therefore unaware of the phenomenon?

    No, it's just to protect their interests. They don't want someone to make a profit out of their software. If you can make nuclear weapons with ITumes, Apple will do it themselves.
