This is a place for random facts that you may know, no matter how useless.

You never know you may find one you can drop into your next conversation with somebody :wink:




*Paper money is not made from wood pulp but from cotton. This means that it will not disintegrate as fast if it is put in the laundry..


*Oil tycoon, John D. Rockefeller, was the world''s first billionaire.

*Indoor pollution is 10 times more toxic than outdoor pollution.

UK notes are made from paper(special quality paper from wood pulp with cotton and linen fibres added, US currency is made from cotton fibres.). The paper is made at a factory in Wales under strict secrecy for the actual content. Some countries are now issuing notes on polymers which last even linger.

My sister says eggs shouldn't be kept in the fridge.. Erm, I can't remember why, so this isn'treally a random fact.

I keep mine in the fridge though! :)

One of my flatmates last year said that too; apparently the eggs get contaminated by the smells of other things in the fridge? :conf:

I'm sure what my flatmate said was probably wrong, she was a bit dippy :laugh2: but she never put her eggs in the fridge for some reason, I do know that much!

Yea happy, about fridge, she may be right but I do not know.

What I wanted to say was put pointed side at the bottom and round side at the top would keep eggs last long.:blush:

I always wanted to try one day to compare (experiment) but eat them before trying it out.:hugesmile:
