The BBC tells us something nifty 100 things we didn't know this time last year. Pretty neat. Among the interesting facts there are these:
71. Jimi Hendrix pretended to be gay to be discharged from the US Army.
and
73. One in six children think that broccoli is a baby tree.
and this one which is of great interest to some of us:
78. One in 18 people has a third nipple.
89. Spanish Flu, the epidemic that killed 50 million people in 1918/9, was known as French Flu in Spain.
And PLEASE don't tell the MPAA about this one or it'll happen here, too. The sad thing about this one is that the poor music store OWNERS have to listen to 1,500 teens throwing down whatever-kids-play-in-music-stores-instead-of-Nirvana-riffs-these-days, they have TOPAY FOR IT:
100. Musical instrument shops must pay an annual royalty to cover shoppers who perform a recognisable riff before they buy, thereby making a "public performance".
