Here is another selection, having filtered out the personal or anachronistic ones:
- There are 3 kinds of bed mattress filler: memory foam, gel and natural.
- “sudo chflags -R nouchg” frees a locked Mac file.
- Isle of Man is a cool place.
- Paris has only one top level football team.
- Washing hands should take the time you need to sing Happy Birthday twice.
- The epidemic in 1918 was called Spanish ‘flu as Spain didn’t censor newspapers – US and UK did.
- Premature babies were a fairground attraction in the US 100 years ago.
- Midway was the name of the amusement part of a US country fair and got its name from a district in South Chicago.
- Taking 2 poo bags on a dog walk is wise.
- Springsteen wrote Because the Night and Blinded by the Light.
- HIV victims can now take a pill once a day that reduces their viral load to an undetectable level.
- UK ambulances have 4 different siren tones.
