BBC’s list of 100 things we didn’t know this time last year
Closed Published December 30th, 2005 in Random Stuff, ScienceThe BBC has released an interesting list of things that we learnt (as humans) over the year that we didn’t know. These are my personal favourites:
3. While it’s an offence to drop litter on the pavement, it’s not an offence to throw it over someone’s garden wall. [details]
6. WD-40 dissolves cocaine – it has been used by a pub landlord to prevent drug-taking in his pub’s toilets.
11. One in 10 Europeans is allegedly conceived in an Ikea bed. [details]
23. In America it’s possible to subpoena a dog. [details]
It really has a lot of funny, unusual and interesting facts. Definitely a worthwhile read.
