Did you know that there is no word in the English language to rhyme with banana?

...or "orange".

Except, maybe, "door hinge" (that's from an old episode of "Late Night", back when Letterman was on at 12:30 and much, much funnier)

Did you know, we had already established about orange a few posts back;)

Well it's not Sian Adey Jones, that's for sure.

I thought it was 30 or more shots, with 3 dead, based IIRC on eyewitness testimony at the coroner's inquest?

A typical bed matress, if used every night for ten years, will double in weight. So don't wait ten years between replacing your matress.:(

Gunslinger fights in the old west a la High Noon, occurred over a distance of 6 to 7 yards. At this distance you could operate instinctively ie draw and hit something.

The B blood type was introduced into european populations by the Mongol invasions in the 13th centuy. If your of european descent and have a B blood type then somewhere in your past is a Mongolian invader (puts up hand).

That an 8 bit quantum computer (ie using eight atoms intead of transistors on a chip) could do all the computing tasks currently done in the world.

That every natural molecule of water on the planet has passed through a living creature at least 7 times.

Every particle of matter in the universe was created during the big bang. Therefore you are made up of stuff that has been around that long. It may have been transmuted by star processes into heavier elements but those elements were constructed using the initial material.

That the initial assassination attempt on Archduke Ferdinand was a debacle. And it was only later when the Archdukes driver made a wrong turn and brought him in range of a lunching assassin that he was shot. A month later Europe was at war. See, driving is dangerous.

That black holes can be created in optical fibres.

That the human eye can detect quantum events ie a single photon.

That one theory for why we are hairless, relative to our ape cousins, is that we have adapted to an aquatic environment ie sea shore, afterall we can swim and they cant.

Around 2003-4 the USA actually hit the benchmark of accounting for 50% of the entire worlds expenditure on armaments.

That if the earth had no ozone layer it would be sterile down to one meter below ground level.

That Pioneer 10 and 11, launched around 1973 are being affected by an unknown force that slows them, they are about 8k kilometers short each year on where their supposed to be.

That human blood closely resembles a warm shallow sea.

That my brains full of this stuff.

The asteroid belt between mars and Jupiter is widely regarded (used) to be another planet that fragmented for some unknown reason.
