Sorry honey, theres 2003UB313 which is not named after a god or indeed any mythical figure.

And my fact for the day is that the King of hearts is the only king without a moustache.
Ah, but thats a designation, not a name

Totally uninteresting fact of the day!

Tablecloths were originally meant to serve as towels with which guests could wipe their hands and faces after dinner.

Despite many people stating the opposite, it is anatomically impossible to swallow your own tongue. This is due to the small piece of connective tissue at the frontal base of the tongue.














Whilst we're on about things medical, the correct name for the indentation under the nose is the pilctrum.

Today is Elvis fact day:

Elvis received a special agent badge for the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs from President Richard Nixon.

And the planet that I get pedantic about is, in fact, in our solar system. (God doesn't he ever shut up)
