ITT you tell us 1 fact we don't already know

Old concept, new thread. Give us a fact that you believe you're the only one here to know. No re-hashed nasty rubbish spam mails we've all seen a million times. Just one single fact you believe you're the only possessor of. Doesn't matter what it is about.

No punishment if you're not the only one to know it, but give it some thought and lets all learn something new.

I'll start us off:

The Canaries were not named after a bird, they were named after packs of large wild dogs that used to roam modern day Gran Canaria. The bird was actually named after the islands.

Isn't that what he said in the first place??

Nope, he said you only breathe through one at a time. Thats not the case.

Gilly · 12 Mar 2006 at 14:10

Christ, its pretty easy.

One of them said you only breathe through one nostril at once and it alternates every 20 mins.

The other said you breathe through both nostrils and your body only uses one, alternating every 20 mins.

Its not that hard.
