Useless facts and information

[slainte caragh]

I thought it might be fun to share the pointless and useless information we pick up over the years.

Don't blame me if they get stuck in your head!

Fact one: 111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321

Fact two: If you perform a pirouette with your eyes open you will become dizzy quickly. If you fixate on one spot ahead of you and close your eyes before the spin, you wont!

Fact 3: In Florida it is illegal to fart in a public place after 6pm on a Thursday!


Your turns!

Fact 4: Most American car horns honk in the key of F.
Fact 5: A pig's orgasm lasts for 30 minutes. (POOR PIG)
Fact 6: A raisin dropped in a glass of fresh champagne will bounce up and down continually from the bottom of the glass to the top. (I'm going to have to try this one one day )
