A 2 X 4 is really 1-1/2 inches by 3-1/2 inches.

The RIAI state that English and Maths are required Leaving Cert subjects as geometry, trigonometry and calculus are involved in the courses, so some decent grasp of Maths is required. Of course, the definition of 'good at' is wide open.

Cattle & sheep are not native to Ireland.

Wolves & bears are (or were, I don't think there are that many left hanging around these days. Except in Leitrim).

Apples have more genes than a Human.

This could go on for years.......

Outlaw Pete

Lillo Brancato, the guy who played De Niro's son in A Bronx Tale (after they discovered him by trawling New York for someone who looked like De Niro) was charged with second-degree murder after a cop was killed in a shoot-out right after he came across Brancato and another man (his girlfriend's father) attempting to break into a house to get drugs. He was found not guilty but was still sentenced to ten years for the burglary and was released on NYE 2013.

Now, bet you didn't know that and you wondering why his career hadn't taken off.

The USA is also a Metric country, their armed forces use Metric.

1. That in common law countries (former British Empire), a lot of law is based on and developed by precedents decided before hand, as many already know. In civil law countries (the remainder, Europe) they legislate every possible situation before it can happen.

2. Some sections of the Magna Carta is still in effect in Ireland.

Early Irish laws are interesting. No fault divorce. A man could beat his wife, but if he left a mark she was entitled to compensation. The highest rank of poet had the same status as bishops and kings.

My favourite is one that describes how a king spends his week:

Sunday is for drinking ale, Monday is for judging, Tuesday is for playing fidchell, Wednesday is for watching hounds hunt, Thursday is for sexual union, Friday is for racing horses, and Saturday is for judging (a different word from Monday, but the distinction is unclear).

Much better than Craig David!

You cut a little square from the teabag paper, you use a tiny little piece of nail glue to stick it like a bandaid over the broken part of the nail, and you use a gentle file/buffer over it to blend it into the natural nail. Paint over it with a coat of two of base coat/top coat/colour

John F. Kennedy was dating Miss Denmark in the 1940's, and when they stayed at Summer House in Charleston the FBI bugged their room because they thought she may be a Nazi spy. Turns out they didn't hear a lot of conversation, but instead a lot of NSFW time. Tapes are in the Library of Congress

Irish mainline railways have been using 1600 mm since 1843.

Needless to say today the Luas uses 4 feet 8 1⁄2 inches because :rolleyes:
