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.

When you put eggs in the fridge, put pointed one downward, eggs would last longer.

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?

I'm sure what my flatmate said was probably wrong, she was a bit dippy 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.

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

at the beginning of pregnancy everyone starts off as female and then after a while the boys change to male.
