BORing facts

Ever come across a useful fact that absolutely no one is interested in but yourself? Then get it off your chest and share it...

Did you know that 95% of UK homes own a microwave oven while in Italy (lovers of food) it's only 3%
 
If ever in doubt about that large black fish swimming towards you while bathing in the sea then remember this fact...

All sea mammals, without exception, swim by bending their bodies up and down; while all fish, without exception, do so by flexing their bodies from side to side. It may not be a shark :)

Current NFL player D'Brickashaw Ferguson is named for father Ralph de Bricassart, a character in the book and miniseries "The Thorn Birds".
 
Television...

Along with the Gilgamesh Epic, an ancient Sumerian document which presaged many Old Testament myths and events. It was the first written example of Noah's flood, for example.
 
Another weird one...

Hungarian, Finnish, Estonian and the Samoyedic languages are all related and belong to the Finno-Ugric language group. They are completely unlike Indo-European languages, which includes Germanic (English, German), Romance (French, Italian, Latin), Gaelic, Greek and Slavic, among others.

This coming Thursday (6th Dec 2007) the Space Shuttle is due to be launched from Cape Canaveral. There is a contingency plan in place should anything go wrong before it reaches space whereby a 2 mile long military runway in Gloucestershire, England, will allow it to touch down.

The last time I flew to Florida the flight took 11 hours. The Space Shuttle will achieve it in a mere 20 mins, Even 12 mins before landing it will be doing 8,300 mph. Amazing!

How long has mankind been producing wine?

Cheers!
