Baby owls sleep on their stomachs as their heads are too heavy.

If you don’t include Pluto as a planet (and it keeps being added then dropped as being one) then every other planet in our solar system would fit between Earth and our moon.

Is that your comfort blanket?

 

[Bill Walker]

If you wrapped a single layer of clingfilm around a snooker ball, it would represent the size of the breathable atmosphere on Earth.

Interesting..
Surely as more and more rain forest is burned and the human population keeps increasing meaning more and more engines polluting this will get less and less.

Whose...?

What a hoot!

The Beatles recorded their first album in one day, it stayed at no 1 in the album charts for 30 weeks and was then replaced at no 1 by their 2nd album.

We're having Birds Eye Chicken nuggets for us tea tonight garnished with Branston beans and Mcain Home Chips.

The chicken nugget was developed by bob baker a food science professor at Cornell University in the 1950s. While he and his associates initially called them "Chicken Crispies," they became known the world over as chicken nuggets.

Baker's work focused on solving the challenges of meat processing, including creating a batter that could be both deep-fried and frozen without separating from the meat. His innovations made it possible to form nuggets in various shapes and sizes. Just sayin like:

aaaaaaaannnd...the method by which the food is cooked whilst being covered in batter is steaming. The batter hardens and provides a protective coating preventing hot oil from touching the fish or chicken but still enough to produce steam and therefore cooking it more gently without colouring it.

I don't know about that, but it puts perspective into how thin the biosphere is in relative terms.

There isn't much life existing above, say, 10,000 feet, and life that does exist there has had to evolve to the harsh conditions.

Soylent Green is people.

The word comes from soy and lentil.

I always thought air force 1 was a plane

Paul McCartney has a reputation in some quarters for his frugality, and it’s been said that he never throws anything out – particularly clothes.

Here's a photo of George Harrison’s very first appearance with The Quarrymen in early 1958. Note the shirts...



Eleven years later and look what Paul is wearing in one of the last Beatles photo sessions....

Fun fact...

There are only two days in your whole lifetime that are less than 24 hours long.

The day you are born, and the day you die.

Not true. There will still be 24hrs in the day that I die and there was 24hrs in the day that I was born.

The earth’s spin is irregular. Some days are longer than 24 hours and some are shorter. The accumulated difference is up to plus or minus 45 minutes. That is why time is designated Greenwich MEAN Time, ie noon is fixed by averaging.
In Norwich, however, it is still 1836.

Looks like a young KDB turned into Ringo.

Greenwich got lucky, the median could have been anywhere unlike the equator, dodgy dealings !
