I came across this interesting little article, the title is self explanitory - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/4566526.stm
A couple of the ones I liked best are:
#52 - "You're 10 times more likely to be bitten by a human than a rat."
#54 - "Deep Throat is reportedly the most profitable film ever. It was made for $25,000 (£13,700) and has grossed more than $600m."
Which one's did you like best?

wow..what an interesting article it is..I was really amazed to see the list..The ones I liked the best are:
10. Humans can be born suffering from a rare condition known as "sirenomelia" or "mermaid syndrome", in which the legs are fused together to resemble the tail of a fish.
14. It's possible for a human to blow up balloons via the ear. A 55-year-old factory worker from China reportedly discovered 20 years ago that air leaked from his ears, and he can now inflate balloons and blow out candles.
21. One person in four has had their identity stolen or knows someone who has.
28. The British buy the most compact discs in the world - an average of 3.2 per year, compared to 2.8 in the US and 2.1 in France.
35. The name Lego came from two Danish words "leg godt", meaning "play well". It also means "I put together" in Latin.
44. Rubber gloves could save you from lightning.
73. One in six children think that broccoli is a baby tree.
The facts are really interesting and new to me..I had a great time reading them..
