Anyway, once read that if you put a grain of rice on the first square of a chess board, then two on the next one, four on the next and so on, doubling up each time, then by the last square you'd have enough rice to reach the moon and back.

RoadRunnerFan Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 (edited) Crab sticks do not actually contain any crab. From 1993 manufacturers have been legally obliged to label them 'crab flavoured sticks.' Edited September 22, 2019 by RoadRunnerFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter MickyD Posted September 22, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted September 22, 2019 My fact may well be out of date but I once read that the population of the entire world would fit onto the Isle of Wight. The Chinese' lack of birth control may make this fact noir a fact. We may need another island. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaydan Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 In a similar theme to the dinosaur fact - If the Earth formed at midnight and the present moment is the next midnight, 24 hours later, modern humans have been around since 11:59:59pm—1 second.
