Hmm, I took "Cults of North America". Kind if interesting learning the belief structure of many cults (Hare Krishan, Moonies, Scientology, etc).
"History of Mathematics" - you learned the proofs behind many mathematical questions, for example prove that you cannot "square a circle", or determine the fractions from the repeating number.
Not a whole lot of practical use, but a bit of knowledge about stuff like that isn't all bad.
