The Greek national anthem is said to have 158 verses. Anyone know all of them?
Cadiz, Spain is one of the oldest, continually inhabitted cities in Spain and has a prison built near the bay. The more rowdy inmates where placed in the bottom floor of the prison. In case of a riot outbreak, the guards would simply open the flood gates to the basement. No more riot.

We touch are glasses when toasting a drink, so that all five of the senses take part.

Bookkeeper is the only word in the English language with three sets of double letters in a row.

If someone annoys you it takes 42 muscles to frown, but it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and whack them in the head.

Speaking of pigs - and I can't believe you brought it up - they are the only animal, besides humans, that can get a sun tan.

A 9' Steinway concert grand piano weighs 980lbs; 1400lbs when crated. I've never seen one get UPS'd.
The latest, known record for smashing a piano in the quickest time and passing it through a nine inch ring was set in 1968 by six men representing Ireland who did it in two minutes and twenty six seconds.
