Facts that will blow your mind

water goes down the plug hole clockwise if you live at the top of the world and anti-clockwise if you live at the bottom ... (or something like that)

No, it doesn't. That's a myth based on a misunderstanding of what the Coriolis force is. Details here:

Pendant alert - I believe they were the oldest outfield pair, I think it is Van Der Sar who set up somebody else who are the oldest pair

Edwin Van Der Sar is the oldest player credited with an assist (40 yrs 95 days), according to the PL website he only has the one assist.

It was Feb 1st 2011 against Aston Villa and Wayne Rooney scored. Rooney would have been 25 yrs 100 days when the goal was scored leaving the pair a few combined years younger than Bruno and Murray.

Guessing that it's similar to the habit that some Dutch companies have of paying staff a '13th month'. Basically they hold back part of your salary as 'holiday pay' and give it to you in a lump sum because they don't trust you to save up for your own holidays...

Think it’s a similar concept. They just pay you 14 times a year, so you get double pay effectively in July and December. Just means they get less throughout the rest of the year, but it must feel like getting a bonus. My old job was paid every 4 weeks so getting paid twice in one month always felt pretty good!

I get paid every 2 weeks, so 26 times a year. I love the two 'bonus' months where I get paid three times. January is the next one

The combined weight of all the ANTS on the planet exceeds the combined weight of all the humans on the planet apparently..

Film franchises of declining quality.

The 4th, 5th and 6th 'Haloween' films are The Return, The Revenge and The Curse of Michael Myers.

The 3rd, 5th and 7th Pink Panther films are The Return, The Revenge and The Curse of The Pink Panther.

There are thought to be more stars in the universe than grains of sand on planet earth

and more atoms in a single grain of sand than stars in the sky

All water is reused isn't it. It will end up back in the water cycle somewhere.

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.
