Darth Maul was cool as hell as well , the most kick ass Sith of the lot and had the potential to appear in the first 2 prequels .... but no , they slice him in half and then replace him with Christopher Lee (good actor) but not exactly inspiring in a Lightsaber Battle ............ a Finale between Yoda and Darth Maul would have been way more exciting .

In the average lifetime, a person will walk the equivalent of 5 times around the equator.

The sound of E.T. walking was made by someone squishing her hands in jelly.

Clans of long ago that wanted to get rid of unwanted people without killing them used to burn their houses down -- hence the expression "to get fired"

Lemmings are not prone to committing mass suicide. This legend was due a set-up scene, in a Disney film called the White Wilderness, where Lemmings were specially imported into Alberta, Canada, which is not a natural Lemming habitat and herded into jumping off a cliff. This was filmed and edited to give the false impression that hundreds of Lemmings would routinely throw themselves to oblivion to protect the rest of the species.
In fact, same as most animals, Lemmings would rather kill each other than sacrifice themselves...

So, that's me old PC game in the bin, then...

Square pegs do indeed fit into round holes as long as the Hypotenues of the two equilateral trangles of the square is no longer than twice the radius of the round hole.

IN OTHER WORDS
It will fit as long as the length between opposite corners of the sqaure is small enough.

Sort of... Berlins pegs aren't square, if they're made up of equilateral triangles... if the long diagonal fits, the rhomboid peg will fit in the round hole though :p

Most yolks found in a single chicken egg - 9

A chickens' heart beats 280-315 times a minute

There are over 150 varieties of domestic chickens

A chicken with red earlobes will produce brown eggs, and a chicken with white earlobes will produce white eggs

A chicken once had its head cut off and survived for over eighteen months, headless
