"common house spiders have one of the most lethal venoms in the world but their fangs can't penetrate human skin"

If you want another factoid to replace it with:

St John's Wood is the only station on the London Underground which shares no letters with the word Mackerel

Motown records released 11 singles by the Supremes before any of them managed to be a hit

(THAT wouldn't happen in modern music business)

Reflections was the last single Mary Wilson n Cindy Birdsong sang on - all subsequent singles where backed by Motown in house backing group the Andantes

The Supremes racked up 12 American number ones - still a record for a female group

Diana Ross's grand total number 1's stands at 21

Surely that must be tortoises as alligators live in freshwater and turtles live in salt water...
