Random stuff you've learned.

The most dangerous tanker of petrol/LPG is a half full one. There never actually full but they would be much safer than half empty one. Petrol/LPG is not flammable just the vapour. So a bomb attached would only produce a very small explosion on full tanker, as there is little or no vapour. A half full one would produce a very large explosion, sending out huge amounts of petrol/LPG which would ignite creating a secondary explosion pushing out more fuel to create third major explosion. Followed by lots of little ones as smaller amounts of unignited fuel gave of vapour.
So......its okay to?

John Wayne was bald (and wearing a wig) in almost all of his films.

Unbeknown to me, someone once p*ssed in my Pot Noodle at Uni. in 1981; they've never tasted quite the same ever since.

Probably apocrophal, but I heard once of a couple who, on getting their holiday snaps back from the chemist, discovered several in the middle of the film which had clearly been taken by pranksters who had got into their room while they were out. One was a bit hard to make out. Then suddenly they realised: it was a human arse, from which protruded the handle of one of their toothbrushes.

Genuinely just learnt this one a few weeks ago - the wee fish badge on the back of some cars isn't a dealer's logo.

Alaska is the westernmost state in the USA (it's also the northernmost). Maine is the easternmost state.

The suggestion that it is the easternmost is based on a misunderstanding of the way that the international dateline works around the Aleutian Islands.

Dateline and longitude are not always the same thing - in theory the dateline should follow the 180 degree line but for practical reasons, to simplify the lives of people living in archipelagos along it, it doesn't. However, the 180 degree line of longitude mars the boundary between eastern and wester hemispheres. As the remotest of the Aleutians lies beyond that point, it becomes the easternmost point of the United States.

Planet earth is actually round !!

It's not. It's not quite spherical. Not as 'flat' as Jupiter which is considerably flatter due it's much quicker rotation.
