In the 1400's a law was set forth in England that a man was allowed to beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb. Hence we have 'the rule of thumb'

Many years ago in Scotland , a new game was invented. It was ruled 'Gentlemen Only...Ladies Forbidden'...and thus the word GOLF entered into the English language.

The first couple to be shown in bed together on prime time TV were Fred and Wilma Flintstone.

Every day more money is printed for Monopoly than the U.S. Treasury.

Men can read smaller print than women can; women can hear better.

Coca-Cola was originally green.

Intelligent people have more zinc and copper in their hair.

The first novel ever written on a typewriter: Tom Sawyer.

The San Francisco Cable cars are the only mobile National Monuments.

Each king in a deck of playing cards represents a great king from history:

Spades - King David
Hearts - Charlemagne
Clubs -Alexander, the Great
Diamonds - Julius Caesar

111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321

a water pistol sorts them out, but the pepper dust for cats puts them off but you have to get rid of existing diggings first, i find a flick of the spade in the direction of the owners house sorts it out ;D

Well you did ask.  ( CAUTION warning for Little Miss Vamps on links 2 and 3 would advize you check 1st Mike.  :y )


It's claimed that a 1,000-pound horse will produce 11,315 lbs of manure per year, and 50% to 60% of that manure is moisture content.

It's said that elephants produce THIRTY TIMES the amount that horses do, so the average elephant MIGHT create 339,450 pounds of it (over 169 TONS) in a typical year, and because it is prized among gardeners (for fertilizer) selling the manure could prove very lucrative for an elephant owner.

You might wish to contact The Ringling Brothers Circus for a more accurate quote on the above figures, or your local zoo might have some relevant information on that subject.

Here's how elephant "doo-doo" is "manufactured." (Note the HUMAN LEGS sticking out from underneath that pile, on the extreme left-hand side.):

Thank's for that..... ::) ::) ::) It's 20Kg per day acording to Miss Vamps, and the book.

The book,  'How Much Poo Does an Elephant Do' is a children's book full of 'interesting facts'  which we suspect is where many of the original 'facts' came from as Miss Vamps recognised them...... :D :D :D

Technology fast facts

160 billion emails are sent daily, 97% of which are spam.

Spam generates 33bn KWt-hours of energy every year, enough to power 2.4 million homes, producing 17 million tons of CO2.

9 out of every 1,000 computers are infected with spam.

Spammer get 1 response to every 12 million emails they send (yet it still makes them a small profit).

A twillionaire is a twitterer with a million or more followers.

There are some 1 billion computers in use.

There are some 2 billion TV sets in use.

There are more than 4 billion cell phones in use. About 3 million cell phones are sold every day.

The first known cell phone virus, Cabir.A, appeared in 2004.

Since 2008, video games have outsold movie DVDs.

About 1.8 billion people connect to the Internet, 450 million of them speak English. See list of Internet languages.

Google indexed it’s 1 trillionth unique URL on July 25, 2008. That is thought to be about 20% of all the pages on the Internet but a high percentage of the World Wide Web (the public Internet).

One google search produces about 0.2g of CO2. But since you hardly get an answer from one search, a typical search session produces about the same amount of CO2 as does boiling a kettle.

Google handles about 1 billion search queries per day, releasing some 200 tons of CO2 per day.

The average US household uses 10.6 megawatt-hours (MWh) electricity per year.

Google uses an estimated 15 billion kWh of electricity per year, more than most countries. However, google generates a lot of their own power with their solar panels.

The first public cell phone call was made on April 3, 1973 by Martin Cooper.

The Motorola DynaTAC 8000X was the first cell phone sold in the US; launched on April 11, 1984, it was designed by Rudy Krolopp and weighed 2 pounds.

About 20% of the videos on YouTube is music related.
