    obscure and amazing facts...connections

    ok...this may work as a game as there is a wealth of amazing and obscure facts to be found on the internet...
    idea of the game is to follow one amazing fact with another... but they must be connected in some way....
    for example... poster 1 quotes...'The international telephone area code for Antarctica is 672.'
    poster 2 posts...'More than 50% of the people in the world have never made or received a telephone call.




    shall we give it a go???
    i'll start with;

    Due to the high sodium and sugar content, MacDonald's must put the pickle in their Big Mac by law, or else it has to be classed as 'Confectionery' not 'Food' by the FDA.

    It only takes one mating event to allow a queen bee to lay eggs for the rest of her life. A queen bee may lay up to 2000 eggs a day and up to 1,000,000 in her lifetime.

    Jah Wobble [John Wardle] got his name from Sid Viscious because Sid couldn't pronounce John Wardle properly when he was smashed.

    Much greater risk of dying in the car on the way to the airport than in the flight itself.

    The most expensive beer in an airport lounge may be a pint of Foster's at US$22 at Helsinki's Vantaa Airport.
