The Jet engine is credited to Frank whittle. However, the afterburner was invented by Ozzy Osbourne after a session on the Pernod where he started lighting his farts for a bet. The mix of gas and unburned 'fuel' gave the satanic rocker an extra 300 knots of thrust, which was much welcomed by both Sharon and the groupies.

Most people take between 8,000 and 10,000 steps a day. When you add up all those steps that means your feet help you travel about 185,000 kilometres over a lifetime.

And that's the same as walking nearly five times around the Earth!

He wasn't a Prince. He was a stragely shaped geometrical symbol.

Freddie Mercury was actually made of Mercury, and was considerably smaller on cold days than on hot ones.

Lynx body spray was originally developed for touring cyclists as "Links body spray". It was dual use for armpits and chain lube, thereby saving the weight of an extra bottle. Unfortunately, cycle tourists who actually care about their body odour turns out to be a niche market, so they rebranded.
