Masturbating makes you blind.


Although I am not blind but would explain why the majority of old people in 4x4's and BMWs dont indicate or notice you on the road.

The tardis was real. It was stolen from Croyden high street by BBC props department in March 1968.

The 'illusion' that the inside was much larger than the outside was created by a BBC set designer 'Archie Tubbs'. Archie claimed that it wasn't an illusion and he had in fact created a temporal distortion in the space time fabric. In a bizarre accident Archie's plans and calculations perished along with him in Harpenden when a faulty pack of 'Walls' sausages caused his bed-sit to explode.


bizarre but true :)

a skateboard wheel often spins at a faster angular velocity than a Formula 1 car wheel ever will.

cats have a non-fatal terminal velocity.

Doesn't that depend on starting velocity? Surely they can reach a fatal terminal velocity when used as a feline canon-ball?

That's what I've always been told - bubbles in the synovial fluid... but given the amount of clicking various bits of my body do (no jokes please) - I'd have to have a lot of bubbles...

When you have a head cold, you can expel nearly your own body weight through your nose.

Well it feels like that anyway :D

Surely that depends on how hard it's thrown in the first place?

Unusual facts about sneezing
The material spread by sneezing can travel 2-3 metres, at a speed of around 150 km/hour, so it's a very efficient way of spreading germs. Some people sneeze when they pluck their eyebrows, get cold or go out into the sun. "Sun sneezing (Photic sneezing)" often runs in families, and occurs in around one in four people. The world record for sneezing is held by Donna Griffiths from Worstershire in the UK, who sneezed for 978 days in a row, stopping on 16 September 1983 (http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com ). For those with hay fever, it's also very hard to avoid exposure to allergic triggers. Allergen has been found in underwater submarines, in scuba tanks, the Antarctic and even in space! (In space, no one can hear you sneeze?) Some even credit the development of movies to Thomas Edison's serial photos of someone sneezing in 1894.
Fascinating stuff :)

I actually saw the Tardis on Saturday.
It is in Earls Court. When you come out of Earls court station you will see there is one on that main road.

Another random fact......
