    It think you'll find that actually most people have more than the average number of legs.

    What is the average number of legs people have?

    here's some numbers to crunch



    http://www.diabetes.ie/about-us/what-we-do/advocacy/footcare-services/
    2,359 Irish people with diabetes have had a lower-limb amputation during the years 2005-2011. 2011 saw the second highest number of amputation procedures ever at 389, which equates to approximately 7-8 amputations each week. 50% of lower limb amputations and 39% of foot ulcers are linked with diabetes.

    That is only for Ireland, for a better average a world wide average is needed.

    Most boring fact I can come up with is... ummm....

    Did you know it was only 2002 before we discovered a 100% sure way to test if a number is a prime number?

    We had a few ideas on how to do it before. But a sure test that works for every prime number was only found 11-12 years ago.

    Isn't that just CRAZ?

    Hartlepool United F C are known as the "Monkey Hangers"

    During the Napoleonic Wars, a French ship of the type chasse marée was wrecked off the coast of Hartlepool. The only survivor was a monkey, allegedly wearing a French uniform to provide amusement for the crew. On finding the monkey, some locals decided to hold an impromptu trial on the beach; since the monkey was unable to answer their questions and because they had seen neither a monkey nor a Frenchman before, they concluded that the monkey was in fact a French spy.
