100 things we didnt know at this time last year....

26. The full names of Scooby Doo's Mystery Inc members are: Fred Jones, Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley, Scooby "Scoobert" Doo. Shaggy is actually Norville Rogers.

Norville? 😕

35. George Bush and John Kerry shared the same debating coach while at Yale University. His name was Rollin Osterweis.

Never would have guessed. :Q

39. More Brits die each year falling from their hotel balcony than do in diving accidents, according to Foreign Office statistics.

😕

65. "Square eyes" might be real - Australian researchers have found that children who spend a long time inside watching television or on computers become more susceptible to short-sightedness.

Damn. That would explain it though.

75. Freak conditions above Everest can cause the sky to "fall in". An analysis of weather patterns in May 1996, by University of Toronto researchers, said eight people died when the stratosphere sank to the level of the summit.

:Q

79. Space is only 62 miles away. That's 100 kilometres.

They just now found that out?

100. Bill Clinton sent just two e-mails while he was president.

That's it?
 
89. Continuing in this cheery vein, more than 1.2 million people die in traffic accidents worldwide each year. The first was Bridget Driscoll, knocked down by a car travelling at 12mph in London on 17 August 1896. The coroner recorded a verdict of accidental death, and warned: "This must never happen again."

How sad.
 
86. You can see the back of your own head in some parts of the universe as time and light are so curved. The universe is neither flat, nor football shaped - it looks like a flat-sided trumpet, German physicists believe.
