    In women, half of the brain cells that control reason and psychosis die when the phrase "I do" is spoken.

    Average is the key word there. Most of us lefties (I am assuming you're one of us) now have adapted to newer technologies and such. We're making that average smaller as time progresses. :eek:

    Left handed people are the only ones in their "Right minds" therefore, that little factoid can't be true because we're more superior to all the righties out there. :D


    And Wiki says that Lady_Di's #6 isn't true. But the definition of strength is subjective. muscle strength

    Mathematical nerdosity:

    The golden mean:
    phi = (sqrt(5)+1)/2 = 1.61803398874989484820...

    but
    1/phi = 0.61803398874989484820...

    and
    phi^2 = 2.61803398874989484820...

    This just makes my head spin. The same non-repeating infinite series of digits at the same starting point. With no discernable reason or rhyme.

    More mathematical nerdosity:

    the 359th, 360th, and 361st decimal place of pi are 3,6, and 0. The number 360 centered around the 360th decimal place.

    Yay for mathematical nerdosity!

    Possibly NSFW (language) but very funny cartoon:

    Speaking of mathematics, this is equally interesting:
    1/7=0.142857 142857....
    2/7=0.285714 285714....
    3/7=0.428571 428571....
    4/7=0.571428 571428....
    5/7=0.714285 714285....
    6/7=0.857142 857142....

    In other words,
    142857*2=285714
    142857*3=428571
    142857*4=571428
    142857*5=714285
    142857*6=857142

    You don't even change the order of the numbers, simply which one comes first. What a beauty of nature.

    The Great Wall of China is 6,700 km or 4,160 miles.

    You would have to bike for 84 days at 50 miles per day to get through it all.

    Or You would drive if you drove from Salt Lake City to Washington Dc and back to match

    Or you could take a train from Lisbon, Portugal through Madrid, Spain; stop in Paris, Head out to London; U-turn back through Amsterdam and Luxembourg to Switzerland and the head out to Berlin.

    Oh by the way the last part was built in the 16th century, so took 2100 years to build, rebuild parts, and finish it.

    Imagine the cost of doing something similar like that when football and soccer stadiums now cost $1 billion dollars or more. (New Dallas stadium and Wembley soccer stadium).
