That the High Speed 2 link into Birmingham will be a spur rather than a through-route.

That there is a breed of Octopus that lives in a tree. Clicky. Sadly it's endangered.

This sounds quite serious.

I really really really hate iTunes, not the ipod or the touch, despite the inferior sound compared to other players I have had, just iTunes.

Tried to sync my iPod 5g (80gb) which I keep in my car, won't show up in windows, try different cables ports etc.

Synced on my laptop, did a restore then plugged it in and it still wouldn't be recognised

Installed an older version of iTunes and it is recognised..... great

'Eleven plus two' is an anagram of 'twelve plus one'.

Just for the record, when I said "This sounds quite serious" I was trying to be funny. Sasquatch-human relations are not number one on my green agenda.

in your wiki link, someone wrote:
24 of 25 students involved in one well-publicized test believed the content.

lol

There was to be a Commando (Arnie) sequel, using a script based on this book:

http://www.amazon.com/Nothing-Lasts-For ... 116&sr=8-2

It eventually became Die Hard... Can you picture Arnie in Die Hard? :lol:

I could have replaced a large amount of code in my final year project with 3 lines of code, thanks to only just realising a property of the interface I was using

At least I noticed now, but fail that I didn't do so before I submitted it :(

Indiana Jones was named after the dog. His real name is Henry Jones Jr.

We all know that, but who knew that George Lucas names the character after HIS dog, Indiana?

Did you also know that it was his dog, (riding in the passenger seat of the car, apparently) that gave Lucas the inspiration for Chebacca?
