A woman is born with all the eggs she will ever have so because of this, you were carried inside your grandmother before your mother was even born  if your granny was a drinker or smoker etc then that would have knock on effects to her grandchildren.

If you put your thumb and index finger next to each other, the difference in size is the length of your nose.
Test it by putting your thumb at the end of your nose and your index finger running up it towards your eyes. |

"Though I bet a few of you tried it, just to see if you could.
Yes i tried it lol and no i could not. But if i could i would not really want to anyway so its not the end of the world."
But let's face it....if you were flexible enough and had a long enough tongue you would need a partner ever again.... |

"You are exactly half the height you will be at 3 years old that you will be fully grown."
You're not a solid height for that whole year though. You still grow. So is this the height you are the day your turn three, the last day you're three or some random point inbetween? I see a flaw in your 'fact'...

To be honest it was just a passing comment I heard on a night out. Alcohol was involved and lots of'facts' were being banded about. So to answer your question I Have No idea at what point in the year it's taken or indeed if it's true so many many flaws in the statement. Will Google my next pointless fact to ensure it's faladidity (Not sure that's even a word) going to Google that too.....

I heard it was the day they turn 3. Old wife's tale no doubt, but i did measure my boy on the day and if it's true he should be around 1.84 when he stops growning. I'll let you know when the time's there x |

The death of the first British soldier to die in ww1 and the last British soldier are only a few metres apart. |

"there is a bridge in Scotland where dogs jump to their death.reason unknown. . Overtoun bridge"
I used to walk my dog here. The first time I did I thought twice whether to put her lead on, my daughter held the lead as we walked over, I was sceptical but still apprehensive.. I was walking just ahead and turned to see my daughter yanking my dog back over the wall. Anyway they done studies. Long and short... dogs senses tell them it’s solid ground on the other side due to lots of factors |

It was before the sign went up and around the time the local press started doing articles on it.
They finally figured the height of the bridge, which is directly opposite the top of a steep gully, paired with the depth of the tapered sides of the bridge, muted the sound of the water running way below. The dogs can smell mink and thinking it’s solid ground on the other side, jump up and over... |
