Ok so here's your chance to post some interesting if not at sometimes disturbingly random facts!

Rule #1 - No google (or other popular search engines that shall not be mentioned due to the unique way the BBC is funded) you have to know it :(

I'll go first...

I have misspelled "chance" as "change" 4 times today! Including once in this topic!

Quote

I had to use a dictionary to spell "misspelled" even though i am targeted A* GCSE English!...oh dear.

I can't think of anything else this late at night so...Let the randomness begin!

Google ofcourse will not give that information out freely without proper documentation of a suponea.

That was proven, if I am not mistaken, with they're latest fight with the government over sharing information.

Well I learned in class today that a human cannot even generate 1 horse power of energy on their own :mellow:
If you run up the stairs for 10 meters in height and get to the top of the stairs in 30 seconds...you only generate like 230W of energy.....

and 1 horsepower equals approx 750W :D

Top athlete can only generates 550W...and only can do that for a few seconds
XD Learned that in physics today
