Why would you tell me that? Ewwwwwwww
Probably for your reaction! (giggle)
(giggle)
Eww!
Lizards do too apparently (Fern made me google to check accuracy of aforementioned fact...)
Yes that is true, known as the hemipenis and is different in each species and acts like a lock and key mechanism to avoid cross species breeding and when they lock on to each other can be at it for hours!
Ok next useless fact, Smokey Robinson’s chart topping single ‘Being With You’ hit the number one spot in June 1981.
No idea why I retained that nugget of info but it’s locked in my vault of irrelevant crap.
I love the odd snippets of info that people remember...
Fact 3: Gary Lineker won the Golden Boot at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico scoring 6 goals in the tournament.
That's one I'm sure will come in handy for me (rofl) (rofl) (rofl)
I knew that one Stella. I’ve got a similar useless fact, Paolo Rossi won the golden boot at the 1982 World Cup in Spain also scoring 6 goals and Italy went on to win. I shared the same birthday as him!
I did not know about the snakes but when I told Ethan he said yeah I know so do lizards!!
Now Suzi, when Mike does the sports quiz, you never know what questions will come up!! Now you know the top scorers in 2 world cups!! (rofl)
What? A question I might actually get right? Keep these facts coming please! :)
Jackson 5 became the first group in the US to hit No.1 on the Billboard Charts with their first 4 singles, I Want You Back, ABC, The Love You Save and I’ll Be There.
I used to work with a guy who kept snakes and he enlightened me of that fact didn't know lizards were the same.
One I shared with Suzi the other day, Whigfield became the first female artist to enter the UK charts at #1 with her debut single Saturday Night. Of course the music industry was completely different in the 90s compared to nowadays and that was a bit deal.
Saliva has antibacterial properties.
Oooo I knew that one!
Jean Claude Van Damme was an extra in the movie Breakdance.
Didn't know that!

The Ford Capri Brooklands 280 was a limited edition available only is brooklands green and featured a leather interior, 7 spoke alloy wheels and a 2.8 V6 fuel injected engine. Only 1,038 were made.
Did you know that the Brooklands racing track is the first one in the country for motor racing and is still there (but not complete) and is about 15 mins away from me? Did you know that in WWII because it was such a landmark it would have given away location for German planes - so they planted trees in the track and made a cardboard town up so that it didn't look like the racing track anymore.
I was aware of the location, I didn’t know about the cardboard town but it makes sense.
Paul Gascoigne aka Gazza scored his first goal for Tottenham wearing only one boot!
The Cougar is the largest cat that purrs and meows
Am I very juvenile for sniggering at that? (giggle)
You would! Filthy minded individual lol
Volkswagen don’t just make cars at their Wolfsburg plant. They also make sausages.
