Did you know....



1. The only other animal host for leprosy (besides humans) is the armadillo
2. Recyled PET bottles are a main component of Polarfleece
3. Mark Twain is the pen name for Samuel Langhorne Clemens

Thats it folks! Now you know three more bits of useless information, unless they help you win booze at pub quiz.

No - i am reading huckleberry fin and the armadillo fact i got from news24. The PET fact is from Wikipedia! Still have to read my popular mechanics for this month but planning to go to their annual conference in Sep!

Did you know that the first commercially successful video game was 'Pong'? This fact won me and some friends a case of beer at a real life trivia evening. Also, a baby platypus is called a puggle (disputed by some), and the dead parrot in Monty Pythins parrot sketch was a Norwegian Blue.


'strue!

Yes and Pong was developed by Atari started by Nolan Bushnell and they are now making a movie of his life. He will be played by Leo of course. His name came up on another business plan....
