Still with music ( sort of).
Did you know that you cannot hum and pinch your nose closed at the same time!
Also, your thumb is the same length as your............. nose😀
Try putting tip of your thumb between your eyes and check.

Certain members of MI5 are actually trained as locksmiths, when securing venues, hotels etc for conferences they attempt to pick the locks on bedrooms conference room doors etc to see how secure they are.
