Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, but wisdom is not using it in a fruit salad.

I have more than the average number of legs.
Some people have one leg, some have none, but because nobody has three or four legs the average number of legs is one point nine recurring.

Crab sticks do not actually contain any crab, and since 1993 manufacturers have been legally obliged to label them 'crab-flavoured sticks'.

The 24 seconds bit is nonsense.It's about 1 second every 7 years added to the year, not to the day.

That's what I thought. 24 seconds seemed far too dramatic (I know it's not in the grand scheme of things but it would be enough to have scientists worrying).
