Listen to the Mission Impossible them song. What two letters does the bass line beat spell out in Morse code?

P.S. COVID, climate change, and conspiracy debunking facts aren't considered fun for the purpose of this thread.

No need to ask pillocks on the Seabreeze network. If fun facts are your fetish here are 101 of them.

They did a good thing on this site by removing the red thumbs.

Are you retired now Harrow?

Young people don't have time for fun facts. Do you think fun fact #84 is true?

I retired 7 years ago, but was coaxed back into a hybrid part-time consultancy role by this USA tech mob that I do work for.

That's ridiculous, #84 couldn't possibly be true. How can you shake hands if you don't have arms?

Wasn't he some IT guy, or was he the architect? I'm an engineer and there's enough guys in here from the Botany Bay crew that know me personally to attest that I'm not him.

That sounds like a good move. Doing something you enjoy on your own terms.

Did you know that Chinese people keep a stud book for Confucius's descendants? They're at the 79th generation.
I learned that from the podcast "No Such Thing as a Fish" which is put out weekly by the researchers for QI. Good to listen to while driving.

I've been doing most of my sailing on the south coast. No jelly fish on Swan Lake.

The filling in Kit Kats is made from broken Kit Kats removed from the production line that are crushed and fed back into the process.

Which does raise the question of how were the first Kit Kats made? It also means that a Kit Kat you buy today could theoretically contain a very small amount of the first Kit Kats ever made.

They used real cats for the first run. The recipe has changed since then,

My father always brags about how good his eyesight is and how he read the finest details, pick out objects form a distance....when he has his glasses on...without them he can barely walk around the house with hitting a wall.

I went to four servos today in an attempt to check the air pressure of my tyres. Four air stations out of order.

I think Queensland has the best double demerit system in the country as it directly targets repeat offenders , not just an individual who made a slip up by travelling over the speed limit on that one rare occasion.
