Your interesting fact of the day.

A kick from a Zebra's hind legs can kill a Lion.

They aren't just cute stripey horses you know.

Also, they have never evolved to carry people, seeing as, well, there is little call for horse riding in deepest darkest Afrika.

Or it could be that, being able to kill a lion with one kick, no Africans fancied their chances of riding it?

The Austin Maxi was wider than it was long.

I assume you are talking about its internal width and length?

The limbs of an octopus are called arms, not tentacles. This is on account of the fact that they have suckers along their full length. Tentacles only have suckers at the end.

Although I intend to continue calling them tentacles.

The bridge wiped out in the video from Nepal. I crossed that bridge back in March.

Yes, my daughter sent us a photo from when she was back packing, about 15 years ago. Standing in the valley where the tragedy has occured.
Can only imagine how many unfortunate students, backpacking, came to grief

The Austin Allegro was so well made that the first 10,000 examples ran for 5 decades without breakdown or corrosion. As a consequence each successive generation had no need to buy a new car and the company bankrupted itself.

I can't believe that, I had an all-agro and it was lucky to last 7yrs. Trying driving a 3 wheeled one on the M1 at 70 in the dark. Frightened me 💩less when rear stub axle sheared.

And they each have their own semi-autonomous brain.

I had one as a works car, I used it for a week then refused to drive it.....it was a shed.

And then they sold it to me!

 

[SpokeyDokey]

I had an Allegro, 1500 Super Estate in brown!

After rain it managed to fill the small boot cavities behind the rear wheel arch each with a couple of pints of water.

The dealer fix was to drill a small hole on either side to allow it to drain out!

Classy!

As a lad at college my Dad had a part time job tarting up the rust on brand new Austins before they were sold.
