    Hampden used the same pair of goalposts from 1903 all the way up to 1987
    Longer record than Wembley managed

    Didn't they only get changed as they were square? Round ones were installed as the laws changed?

    Square goalposts were much better, not the best if you smashed into one mind you ☹️

    There is more ways to arrange a deck of cards than there is atoms on earth.
    If you shuffle a deck of cards, the chances are it's the only time that combination of cards are in that order.

    A ridiculously large number. But if you times it by zero you also get the number of trophies Craig levein has won in his playing and managerial career

    I just fact checked that one and its true.

    I really enjoy my history, and found a new channel on Youtube called Epic History TV.

    Currently working through a Napoleonic Wars series, and the numbers are just horrendous.

    One battle: 13,000 dead on the French side, 5,000 on the Allied side.

    The Seige of Seville was 2.5 years long.

    Koalas have pretty much identical fingerprints to humans and even under microscope they are indistinguishable from human prints.

    So if you want to commit a burglary, get a koala as your accomplice.

    It's a long way from the Arctic to Tipperary, but scientists have discovered polar bears can trace their family tree to Ireland. Genetic evidence shows they are descended from Irish brown bears that lived during the last ice age.
    Modern polar bears share a distinct DNA sequence, passed down the female line, with their now extinct brown ancestors. However, the same DNA fingerprint is absent from other species of brown bear alive today.
    It is thought the link arose from interbreeding between prehistoric polar bears and female brown bears when their paths crossed as the Irish climate cooled.

    Conrad Logan supports this fact!

    Apologies for reviving an old thread but I just learned that Toni Basil was actually 39 when "Mickey" was recorded... meaning that she is now 80 years old!

    Just didn't think I could hear that and not pass it on.

    Heard Johnnie Walker say this the other day. At first, I thought he was havering, or that I had misheard.

    The act with the most albums in the Billboard chart ever..... not Elvis, or the Stones, Dylan or even Sinatra.....

    The Grateful Dead.

    The Icelandic Phallological museum has sculptures of the penises of the handball team who won the silver medal in the 2008 Olympic Games on proud display.

    This does appear to be indeed true.

    Google suggests the maths are as follows:

    This statement is based on the fact that a cup of water contains approximately 1024 (1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) atoms, while the estimated number of cups in the ocean is around 3.5 x 1020 (350,000,000,000,000,000,000). The key factor here is the size of the atoms compared to the size of a cup. Atoms are incredibly small, with a diameter of about 0.1 nanometers, while a cup has a much larger volume. Therefore, even though there are a greater number of cups in the ocean, the number of atoms in a cup of water is much larger due to their tiny size.

    Edinburgh is on the same line of longitude as Moscow. Latitude wise we're roughly the same line North to South as Dundee, Blackpool and Cardiff.


    Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
