You only breathe through one nostril at a time, and your body switches between the two every 20 mins or so.

Whats with the red flags then? Is it just that particular shade of grey that sets em off?

It's nothing to do with red flags at all, they are just the traditionally used colour.

If you wave any piece of cloth, regardless of colour, the bull will charge it as it is the movement of the cloth that the bull goes for - nothing to do with colour/shade

The only NASA space shuttle to have ever landed in the UK is the Enterprise. It was transported to the UK on the back of a 747 as part of a NASA PR excercise. Unfortunately, as a space shuttle, it never actually made it into space (it was used as a test vehicle for space shuttle technology).

I know this as i seen it as a kid while at school

We did a project about it and was all sat on the grass to watch it fly over ... Mind you .. at the time i was more interested what was up donna clark's skirt

Fact:The line of the royal family isnt the true royal line. The real King of england and his family line shifted to Australia back in 50s or 60s i think.
He only found out he was the true king a few years back

Fact: i watch to many documentrys

On average the human brain can perform 10^27 ~ 10^28 calculations per second, and the total processing power of every human brain on the planet has reached 10^38 calculations per second.

The odeon as in the cinema's stands for "Oscar Deutsch Entertains Our Nation

In which case, Oscar Deutsch is a tool, and needs to update his cinemas. They suck imo

Back to the matter in hand however...

Agree to disagree.

A cucumber has the same number of calorifies as a single tic-tac.

Polar bear livers contain fatally toxic levels of Vitamin A, hence is never fed to huskies.

Yep. And hollow hairs for fur IIRC.

The Sea Otter has more hairs per square inch of its body than any other species of animal on the planet and is also sickeningly cute

NB Freefaller is not a species

Rivers called 'river' and hills called 'hill' are surprisingly common throughout the world. This usually happens when an alternative word for river or hill is used as the place name.

In fact, there is one place in the Lake District that can be legitimately called 'hill hill hill hill'.

Someone reads the back pages of New Scientist!

Sometimes Neptune is further away from the Sun than Pluto because of its elliptical orbit.

It was only recently that Pluto was (again) the furthest planet away.

Pluto was closer to the Sun than Neptune 1969 - 1999.
