Who knew?

I came across this interesting page on BBC, called "100 things we didn't know last year". Here are my favorites (plus my say on them;) :

1. Fathers tend to determine the height of their child, mothers their weight.
Why am I not surprised?
2. The Pope's been known to wear red prada shoes.
I knew he was weird- I knew it!!!!!
3.More than one in eight people in the united states show signs of addiction to the internet, says a study.
4. The brain is soft and gelatinous- its consistency is something between jelly and cooked pasta.
Very "scientific" analogy I must say!
5. Barbie's full name is Barbie Millicent Roberts.
And why would I want to know that??
6. Eating a packet of crisps a day is equivalent to drinking five litres of cooking oil a year.
And that is why my kids can OD on chocos all they want but will never consume a crisp in their life so long as I can help it:P The thing's icky.
7.For every 10 successful attempts to climb Mount Everest there is one fatality.
Oh well, I guess it makes sense.
8. Cows can have regional accents, says a professor of phonetics, after studying cattle in Somerset.
Oh boy! That's hilarious!!! Don't you think it's hilarious???
9. Forty-one percent of English women have punched or kicked their partners, according to a study.
To all the guys out there: BEWARE of English women!! oh and I don't kick. I think :P
10. A domestic cat can frighten a black bear to climb a tree.
What I would give to see that happen. What I would give to see Fosto2 make this happen!
11. Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobiacs is the term for people who fear the number 666.
hehehehehehehe I can't make up my mind on what's more ridiculously hilarious; the fact that there are actually people who FEAR the number 666, or that there is actually a term for it, or the fact that the term is THAT LONG.
12. Camel's milk, which is widely drunk in Arab countries, has 10 times more iron than cow's milk.
yeeaaaahh... Still not gonna drink it, thank you.
13. Thinking about your muscles can make you stronger.
I'm off. Gonna go "think me" some six packs!:P
