If you stretch your arms out the measurement from fingertip on 1 Hand to fingertip on the other equals your height.

That's a fact that needs testing several times to be sure it's true! |

"There was a Roman coin called an As. The plural of that is 'asses'."
Correct!
Silver currency was the sestercii and the higher value denarii.
The gold coins were the solidus, and were used to pay the army and is the root of our word soldier, as the solidus was used to pay the army |

Suddenly realising you urgently need to stop a text or email getting sent in error, by quickly putting it in the (nearby) fridge for a few minutes. It completely blocks the signal, unless you're very posh and have a wifi fridge freezer of course.
Yep, been there, acted fast and managed to stop it from sending in time. Wish there was a delay setting of 1 minute, to prevent those instances.  |

I believe the Pegasus is a unique animal in mythology. As there was only one Pegasus, there is not a plural term. So, a collection of different Pegasus in crystal, porcelain, wood, clay, bronze, silver, etc is still called a collection of Pegasus. |

Modern synthesisers are capable of so much wizardry. Yet, most of them are just emulating old school synths.
I wish they'd be a little more progressive and deliver some new sound palates. |

"Spiny ant eaters have two vaginas.
Every day is a school day eh lol
Two vaginas is the dream."
Perfect for the 1 in 5.5 million boys who were born with two cocks (diphalia). It's a genuine condition and both usually function perfectly. |

"The ideal height for you to drop your buttered toast from if you want it to land buttered side up is Eight Feet.  "
Is it the same distance for thick and thin bread? What about different shaped sliced from a square sandwich loaf to a cob or tin loaf? Also, do the seeds in a multigrain loaf bread alter the aerodynamics as it falls to the ground? Times have changed since the early days of white, brown or slimming bread.  |

Perspective on million to billion
If I gave you £1.00 every second for the next 12 days you'd have £1m
If I did the same to get you to £1bn I'd have to give you £1.00 every second for 32 years. |

Handshakes were originally meant to make sure that the person you were meeting wasn’t carrying a concealed weapon. The hand clasp proved that your hand was empty and shaking was meant to dislodge any weapons hiding up the sleeve. |

Consequently most assassins were left handed |

The line on the house of commons floor is the line to draw swords with the opposite members if the debate gets a little heated. Goes back to the early 18th century. |

Polar bears are black. Their fur is not white (or off white). It is translucent and like fibre optic cable light travels down its length. It is that light bouncing off the walls of the fur that makes it look white. |
