Can you imagine meal times?
It must always have been somebody's birthday too.

Imagine if all those kids had multiple kids themselves when they grew up.

Re: Extraordinary facts

Here's something else too.
Sleep really is good for us.

" Sleep literally cleans your brain.
During slumber, more cerebrospinal fluid flushes through the brain to wash away harmful proteins and toxins that build up during the day."

I didn't know that.
That must be why we feel better after a good night's sleep.

Anyone else got any interesting snippets?

Fleas can jump 80 times their own body height.

Imagine if we could do that.

We wouldn't need elevators any more, for a start.

Re: Extraordinary facts

Fact - pigeon droppings are the property of the British crown, because they were used to make gunpowder back in the 18th century.
(So is it treason to wash your windows if there is pigeon poo on them? Or should we scrape it all off and send it in a wee envelope to Buckingham Palace?)
