Having just followed Jonathons link, why don't we ship all those scrounging bloody asylum seekers to Antarus? It's miles away and it's huge, and more importantly it's not in my back yard

Coz then in a few hundred years all youll get from them is "Gday mate, fancy another barbie?"

Remember reading some stuff once, but can't remember the figures - every time you drink a glass of water, think how many of the molecules in it have been personally 'passed' by Julius Caesar - or was it Napoleon - or Hitler?

Does anyone else remember Cosmic Zoom? This YouTube film hasn't worn very well but it's still worth watching.

If you live in the beautiful city of london, when you drink a glass of water, on average, it's been through 30 other people before it gets to you.

I was impressed by someone on the radio telling me that there are more stars than all the human heartbeats there have ever been. I have no reason to suspect that this expert is wrong, though of course he could be.

What I do have a problem with is Cadbury's telling me that one and a half glasses of milk go into each bar of their chocolate. If this is true of a Freddo Frog, then just how big are the glasses?
