    Tabulation: 376 airports have reported in . . . 44.8% are counterclockwise, 29% clockwise, 7.5% go both ways, 3.2% other, 15.5% have no carousels

    Fun. :rolleyes:

    2. There is no VAT on cakes
    3. Every 4 years, monthly-paid staff have to work an extra day - for NOTHING!
    4. If you didn't have knees, you wouldn't be able to sit down
    5. Bananas are very difficult to grow in Canada, which has nothing to do with nibbling beavers
    6. The hairs that grow on your bum are 50% wider than the ones that grow on your arm.
    7. i own my own pen
    8. Gently cradling a strangers testicles is not an acceptable greeting anywhere in the European Union.

    It's actually a unit of measurement used in space - not necessarily just the earth and the sun.

    A Kiloparsec = well over 3,000 light years!

    He was wrong.

    He could be boasting about it's navigational abilities. Perhaps the Kessel run is normally 15 parsecs, but due to the maneuverability of the Falcon it was able to take a route that other ships can't and was able to make it in 12 parsecs.

    Less than 12 parsecs was the suitably Corellian boast, i think.

    Years that are evenly divisible by 100 are not leap years, unless they are also evenly divisible by 400, so 1200, 1600, 2000 were leap years, whereas 1800, 1900 weren't

    There is never a leap year in the years that are divisible by 400 so 1200, 1600, 2000 were not leap years even though they were due to be.

    Incorrect. The rule is year's divisible by 100 are not leap years unless they are divisible by 400.
