Re: INTERESTING FACT OF THE DAY
An Olympic Gold Medal is almost 99% silver.
The first-place medal is actually 550 grams of silver covered with a thin layer of gold (6 grams)! A silver medal is 509 grams of silver and 41 grams of copper. The bronze medal is composed of mostly copper, with some zinc and tin mixed in.

Re: INTERESTING FACT OF THE DAY
I must be getting old as my eldest lad (6) taught me a fact about monkeys, more specifically spider monkeys and that they don't have thumbs.
A quick Google and byjingo he was right. The thumb is not opposable in all primates — some primates, such as spider monkey and colobus, are virtually thumbless. The spider monkey compensate this by using the hairless part of its long, prehensil tail for grabbing objects. |

Re: INTERESTING FACT OF THE DAY
Do you remember Frankie Dettori winning all 7 races at Ascot? When he was wearing blue and did his flying dismount? on 28 September it will be 17 years since he did that!
