    The "post a fact when you visit" thread is now open!

    Did you know that in the Middle Ages, Britain got invaded by the Vikings? The Danish started and began to settle there, and after much civil warring between England and the Danes, they were classed as English, this meaning that about 3/4 English persons ancestors were Danish Vikings.

        The first piece of British motoring legislation was known as the Red Flag Act of 1865. The act required three persons in attendance - one to steer, one to stoke and one to walk ahead with a red flag to warn the oncoming traffic. The Act specified that the person with the flag should be 60 yards ahead.

        I remember it well! :old: :heehee:

        Here in Sweden, it is legal to pitch up a tent and camp anywhere other than houses and gardens for up to 3 days on the condition that you leave the place exactly how you found it.

        Polar bears can eat as many as 86 penguins in a single sitting.

        I get bored taking the wrappers off after 2 or 3....

          If Pinocchio said "My nose will now grow" it would cause a paradox.

          Explanation: As we all know, Pinocchio’s nose grows when he tells a lie, so if he said ‘my nose will grow now’ – if his noes does grow that would mean he wasn’t lying, but if he wasn’t lying, his nose wouldn’t grow.. but then his statement would be a lie… so his nose would grow.. but then the statement wouldn’t be a lie… so his nose wouldn’t grow…

            Sharks only attack you if you're wet!

            Bonus: There's no such thing as shark infested water. Sharks live there, it's actually human infested water.

                WD40 was invented as a de-icer/antifreeze for nuclear warheads.
