Jack’s Useless Facts!
Each week InSITE reporter Jack Cooper compiles his top ten facts and tells you exactly what he thinks!
(1) Monopoly was originally called circular. (It’s a bit stupid don’t you think seeing as the board is square).
(2) In the United States it costs more to purchase a car than it did for Christopher Columbus to equip and take voyage to the new world. (Right that will definitely help with your maths homework kids).
(3) The Phrase “the quick brown dog jumps over the lazy fox” uses every letter in the English alphabet. (Well obviously someone has a lot of spare time on their hands).
(4) More people are killed each year by donkeys than they are in plane crashes. (Oh no that’s all of Blackpool’s weekend trade gone then isn’t it?).
(5) TYPEWRITER is the longest word that can be written on one line of a keyboard. (Seriously this is gripping stuff!!!).
(6) A snail can sleep for three years. (Obviously that snail has been to my psychology classes).
(7) Celery has so few calories; you actually burn more calories WHEN eating it than you’d get FROM eating it! (Oh no here comes the Celery Diet!).
(8) You will only ever get bitten by a female scorpion, the males don’t bite. (See it’s not us lads with the temper it’s you lasses).
(9) Ants stretch when they wake up. They also appear to yawn in a very human manner before taking up the tasks of the day. (Well yawning and then going back to sleep would be a better idea don’t you think?).
(10) The sandwich was invented by the Earl of Sandwich. (Well it’s nice to know that we pay our taxes so the aristocracy can sit on their bums and invent food)
