Well I've been reading my old Man's book again and found a few more things I never thought about knowing and you may want to know as well, so here they are....

The risk of a heart attack is higher on a Monday.

You burn 3.5 calories when you laugh.

Women blink twice as often as men.

The average person produces about 12,000 gallons of urine in their lifetime.

One penny doubled every day(1px2=2p 2x2p=4p and so on) becomes £5 million in just 30 days.

A snail has about 25000 teath and the average garden snail has an average top speed of 0.03 mph.

Forty is the only number that has it's letters in alphabeticle order.
So if you knew these things before I told you then you are sadder than me!!!!
