Is there any truly useless knowledge?

Tons of it. The axiom "there is no knowledge that is not power" may be technically true - but in many instances, it grants us useless power. Knowing that Nathan Fillion's favorite ice cream is Pecan Praline, for instance, is not power that you will ever use. Hence, useless.

Unless you happen to be entertaining Fillion, in which case being able to buy some in in advance might be useful.

But as the odds of that are low, it's effectively useless knowledge.
