The Assesment and Qualification Alliance, a British exam board who mismarked my A Levels and refuse to admit it. I now live just around the corner from their main offices evilgrin *rubs hands in anticipation of destruction of evil alliance* I have a real problem with the whole idea of private companies marking kids exams, how on earth can you expect them to be thourough when they have to think about profits? Just realised there are several pieces of non-useless information in there doh My favourite cat is called Yoda - that's better

Talcum Powder is used to fix a punctured lung by glueing the hole to your chest wall.

I suspect that it is all due to load balancing not working properly... If I post and it doesn't work I back up and then post again, and it works... hmm Maybe they are using MS's NLB instead of something decent...

Did you know...

That (one of) the longest running false "facts" is the one that Catherine Di Medici had an apparatus made so that she could experiment sexually with stallions.

That's been going around for nie on 300 years!

Also, The Great Wall of China is NOT visible from space.

Here are some of my favotite real facts (going to be so embarassed if any are wrong)
- Water is the only substance that freezes downwards.
- Female pigs are the only other mammal to be able to orgasm.
- If all the muscles from a vagina were (somehow) in a penis, the guy could pee from Dover to Calais (how many Belgiums is that?).
- There is a fourth state of matter called ORMEs

ORMEs - or Orbitally Rearranged Monoatomic Elements , appears to be a clasic bit of pseudoscience. There's nowt scientific I can find on it and an awful lot of hogwash.

The only vaguely scientific stuff I found was this discussion
