I may be in a minority, but that fact didn’t blow my mind.

Fact 1: My cock is exactly the same length as 2 Argos pens.

Fact 2: I'm banned from the Argos in Western Road, Brighton.

I'm taking my own pen to Argos in future.

It takes 7600 litres of water (which can't be reused) to make ONE pair of jeans.

ALL water is re-used.

yes that "fact" made me chuckle. I even started to try and work out how many pairs of jeans we'd be able to make until we ran the earth completely dry.

You can only fold one piece of paper in half seven times, no matter how big it is to start with.

Not true - The world record is 12 times

On 27 January 2002, high school student, Britney Gallivan, of Pomona, California, USA, folded a single piece of paper in half 12 times and was the first person to fold a single piece paper in half 9, 10, 11, and 12 times. The tissue paper used was 4,000 ft (1,219 m; 0.75 miles) long.

There is a finite number of ways that matter can be arranged, so if the universe is infinite then there is another you out there somewhere.

Are you telling me that somewhere out there is another 2 Professors?
If you are right then it only confirms that whilst there is life on other planets, it certainly is not intelligent.

Locadia's hat trick today was the quickest in Albion history.

If you get put in a decompression chamber because you have got the bends, the nurse who goes in with you will have two large needles. These are used to puncture your eardrums if you cannot equalise the pressure.
Literally mind blowing.

This is US geography.

Los Angeles is further east than Reno, Nevada.

Traditional haggis is illegal in the US.

Imports of traditional Scottish haggis have been banned in the US since 1971. The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) declared sheep's lung, one of the key ingredients in haggis, unfit for human consumption.

The Russians arrived 12 days late to the 1908 Olympics in London because they were still using the Julian calendar instead of the Gregorian calendar.

Mind blown.

I find Archimedes' water displacement principle quite mind blowing. The idea that a tiny but heavy object will displace more water when submerged than a much larger, but lighter object.
Even if the lighter object is twenty times larger it will still displace less water than the smaller, heavier object. Mind blowing!

Rubbish.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Rubbish.

I think so. The displacement surely relates to the volume of an object not it's density.

This only works for partially submerged objects - a fully submerged 1" lead cube displaces the same amount of water as a fully submerged 1" aluminium cube.

Take either cube, roll it thin and make a Floaty McFloatboat, and the displacement will be less.

I was in Salamanca, Spain recently, where there is a ZAMORA Street, upon which is an opticians called ULLOA

I couldn't find a MURRAY tobacconist or a LOCADIA toy shop

Aaah, clever!
