I love a good fascinating fact.

Did you know that polar bears are left handed/pawed?

Which facts do you have to stun us?

Phil Collins was an extra during the filming of the first Beatles' movie, "A Hard Days Night".

Your skin weighs twice as much as your brain

I knew that polar bears were left-pawed, feck my brain is so full of trivia I have no room for the important stuff! Didn't know the other two tho.

did you know that:

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

The names Lincoln and Kennedy both contain seven letters.

Both assassins were known by 3 names.
Both names comprise of fifteen letters.

Booth ran from the theater and was caught in the warehouse.
Oswald ran from the warehouse and was caught in a theatre.

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials

freaky

That is freaky facts Molly

I heard them before, but one thing that'd missing is something to do with the theater that Lincoln was shot in and the cinema that Oswald was caught in. Sorry I cant be more precise and provide te names of both "theaters" but what was on offer was an urban myth. I'm sure people can go and look for what I'm on about on the infamous web

I read that too Marti, Lincoln was shot in theatre named 'Ford' and Kennedy was shot in a car made by Ford. I didn't remember that at the time (that I posted) so I checked it out when you reminded me of it. It turns out that the list of 'co-incidences' is a bit misleading tho!

disappointing really bcz the 'facts' as they were laid out were kind of fascinating at first I thought!

You unknowingly swallow an average of four live spiders in your sleep each year.

Spiders drink moisture from the mouths or lips of sleeping humans.

Could be myths but

That is absolutely disgusting Westy! Roll on the nightmares tonight.

Inuits use refrigerators to stop their food from freezing.

Sweet dreams till spiders find you;)

Name that tune

Did you see the fact on OFI Sunday?

Apparently you alternate which nostril you breath out of?

surely that only said to get four million people trying it out within seconds afterwards. Just like I did when I read that.

I just tried it! It's a bit like trying to lick your elbow - apparently it's impossible but I mentioned that to my wierd 'double-jointed' brother and he just licked his elbow and grinned! The freak!

did you know that a pigs org*sm lasts for half an hour?

Only when Rebecca Loos is involved
