[Misc] Did You Know?

[Blue3]

I wish I knew the names of the 15 people who are dead for me. I would honour them in some way.

I don't know for sure your Fifteen individuals but it's a good guess some have the following names
Muhammad,
Ibrahim,
Hassan,
Peter,
John,
Fatima,
Mary,
Miguel,
Alice,
Aarva,
Ali,
Bi,
Ci,
Sofia, An,
Chin,
We,

Hereford United’s top scorer for the 1996/97 season was Adrian Foster.

It’s my go-to sports knowledge question no one will ever get.

Here's my sport knowledge question about Hereford United that no one (except some BHA fans) will ever get:

Hereford United were the first club for four years to be relegated to the Conference after finishing bottom. Conference champions Macclesfield Town replaced Hereford (two years after Town had been denied entry to the Third Division). In December, Brighton & Hove Albion were 11 points adrift at the bottom of the Third Division, having had 2 points deducted for a pitch invasion. However a draw in their final game at Hereford kept Brighton in the league, and sent United down.

Surely would have been a tremendous injustice today if BHA were not anywhere near the PL due to a pitch invasion.

Well, then maybe just some sprinkling of "holy water" in Nottingham Forest to honour their heathen names would suffice.

People sometimes refer to Fanta as the Nazi drink, made to replace unavailable Coca-Cola. But that was a completely different beverage, made of sugar beet, whey and apple skins. The fizzy orange Fanta we know today was created in Italy in 1955.

Did you know that kidney beans are toxic?

According to the FDA, eating as few as 4-5 uncooked kidney beans can cause severe nausea, vomiting and diarrhea in 1-3 hours after ingestion. Uncooked kidney beans have an unusually high concentration of a chemical called phytohaemagglutinin that is destroyed when the beans are properly cooked by boiling.

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.

If every adult is given one square foot to stand on, and all kids under age 11 are carried, the world's population can fit on the Isle of Wight

Tickets for the Coliseum in Rome were made of terracotta and each entrance is numbered at the top of each arch.

and if they all jumped at the same time... it would sink.

Can we try that in Croydon?

Most animals given the name red are actually orange, red squirrel, red fox, red panda, robin redbreast etc. they were called red because there was no name for the colour orange when they were named, only the fruit, which then gave its name to the colour.

Excellent factoid.

DYK tarantulas can live for two years without food. No wonder they have no issues arriving in banana crates.
