I don't know about Britain, but a lot of those things seem to me to be either overly simplified or urban legends. However --

30. There are an estimated 1,000 people in the UK in a persistent vegetative state.

We've only got 335 in Congress -- I didn't know you had so many people in the Houses of Parliament.

Jesus was and is the 'Saviour of Mankind' who was promised in the OT but most people will never take the time to research enough to discover the truth....it is easier to discredit those who know the truth!
Best wishes, Mike.

Please note:
100. Musical instrument shops must pay an annual royalty to cover shoppers who perform a recognisable riff before they buy, thereby making a "public performance".

ummm...Mike....that bit of proselytizing is hardly in the spirit of the thread...and you are slipping back into preaching. (and 'research' is hardly able to shed much light on that issue, as it is and will remain a matter of belief.) Believe as you wish, but don't inject it into places that are not relevant...please?

IN the spirit:

"Bosses at Madame Tussauds spent £10,000 separating the models of Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston when they separated. It was the first time the museum had two people's waxworks joined together."

One wonders exactly HOW they were joined....

Bill D. I guess this guy georgiansilver believes what he believes. Is he wrong or right. I don't know but let us be receptive to all preaching from wherever it comes as someone MAY be telling the truth do you think?

Mario ... I notice did notice this ...

"Musical instrument shops must pay an annual royalty to cover shoppers who perform a recognisable riff before they buy, thereby making a "public performance".

I certainly don't think this applies to Canada.

Georgiansilver, it seems to me, if you feel like a bit of a preach, you could start a new thread rather than hijack someone elses.....that just seems like rather bad manners.

Bad manners it certainly is, but there are some people who can't see just how rude it is to bring religion into everything - at christmas time too - disgraceful.

OK Guest Clogger.

If it takes a hen and a half a day and a half to lay an egg and a half, how long would it take a wooden-legged woodpecker to kick all the seeds out of a dill pickle?

How 'bout this one?

If it takes ten men two days to dig a hole, how long would it take them to dig half a hole?

29. When faced with danger, the octopus can wrap six of its legs around its head to disguise itself as a fallen coconut shell and escape by walking backwards on the other two legs, scientists discovered.

Big deal. I can do that.

39. Australians host barbecues at polling stations on general election days.

Doesn't everyone? Might as well salvage something from an otherwise wasted day.
