I did know that I think, I've definitely heard the 'more miles of canal than Venice' before. Whether Birmingham was the place, I'm not sure.

Emus can't walk backwards.

You can't catch a cold at the North Pole during winter - it's so cold the virus can't survive.

Well Google, Wiki, et al could not confirm to me the one place on the planet where there is snow on the Equator all the time.  I believe it is Mt Cayambe in Ecuador and I have actually seen it.  Best link I could find....

Thomas Edison was also afraid of darkness...No wonder he invented the Lightbulb.  (Okay, that is useless information).  :D

In ancient Japan, public contests were held to see who in a town could fart the loudest and longest. Winners were awarded many prizes and received great recognition.

Spike Milligan wanted 'I told you I was ill' on his gravestone but the Diocese of Chichester said he couldn't do it. So when he died, his family had it written on his gravestone in Irish and no one was any the wiser....
