The Brizzol Channel has the second biggest tidal range in the world.

And the first? I'm glad you asked. Bay of Fundy in Canadia (which is Canada to the normal people but I like my way better)

Does this rule apply to Irish stew? And Welshcakes? Or scotch?

All the tea in China isn't accurate.

Tea originated in India and is still the world's biggest tea exporter.

England is the smallest country that tea is exported to with the smallest population and yet remains unparalleled worldwide as being the biggest consume of tea annualy rivalled by absolutely no other tea drinking country anywhere on the planet.

The black box is designed to survive a devastating plane crash, so if you are involved in a major air incident, try and get inside it.

The London Beer Flood of 1814 was caused by a brewery, in what is now Tottenham Court rd, that used immense barrels to store beer in.

One of the 22ft tall vats burst and a domino effect destroyed several others causing a torrent of 400,000 gallons of beer that killed 8 people in the surrounding streets.

There is actually 365 days and 6 hours in every year!

To keep to the solar calender & clock right, they give you an extra day every 4 years....time does actually work like that though.

The reason we have total solar eclipse's is because of an astronomical coincidence at this time in the history of the solar system. The diameter of the the sun is approximately 400 times bigger than that of our moon, and the sun is 400 times further away from the earth than our moon is.

The moon is currently drifting away from the earth by approximately 4cm per year, so at some point in the future the phenomenon won't look anywhere near as good as it does now. Humans are lucky to have evolved at exactly the right time in the history of the solar system to have both witnessed the phenomenon and developed intelligence enough to be able to work out why it happens.

Cosmic....

Its absolutely not the same as size.

The atomic mass of an object is completely disproportionate to the physical size of an object.

Took me ages or re-reading and study before I actually understood how this works.

But.... I guess someone far cleverer than I proved it so I can't really argue with fact I suppose.

It is a constitutional requirement in Australia that you vote in pencil.

The constitution can only be changed by referendum.

It'll stay because that's a fucking stupid thing to spend $100 million plus on.
