| Who would have thunk it? Useless facts until you need useless facts. Nearly 35% of the world’s population have Staphylococcus aureus in their nasal cavities. [Which, for the unknowing, basically means they have bacteria in the nose that can cause many diseases! Most of the time, it is harmless …] The Yutyrannus was a feathered dinosaur that could grow to as long as 9 metres! It lived roughly 125 million years ago. It was also a carnivore. That is one bird Sesame Street probably doesn’t want as a step-in for Big. Too many cups of coffee are bad for your oh, um, sheesh, hang on, oh yes, memory, but it’s great for making you alert even if you forget why you are supposed to be! More than 80% of the world’s seabeds remain unexplored. The depths especially are very uncharted! The Gakkel Ridge between Siberia and Greenland is one of the deepest mid-ocean ridges in the world, with a depth of nearly three miles. The stuff of pure science fiction movies, for sure! Be mindful of how hard you laugh. You might fracture a rib. [No, that’s a fact, seriously be careful!!] I know, right! Who would have thunk it? |

I never laugh that hard. I knew the fact about bacteria living in our respiratory tract was GIT.

Coffee raises my blood pressure, which is annoying because I love coffee.
