Russian lady shot putters are scary.

The first recorded competitions of shot put were in the 1800’s, in Scotland.

Modern shot probably came about from the competitions that soldiers had in the Middle Ages, involving the throwing of cannon balls.

If you get all the population of China to lie down in a line, you would have a very long line of Chinese people lying down. Tru dat.

Chinese takeaways are more likely to give you food poisoning than a kebab, curry or fish and chips, surveys have shown. ... Kebab shops and Indian restaurants also scored poorly, with 53 per cent of kebab shops and 48 per cent of curry houses failing to clean properly.

With Kebab shops you are more likely to get food poisoning from the Salad than the cooked meat due to poor hygiene practices in chopping the Salad, see @potsy was right after all.

If everyone on the Earth jumped into the air at exactly the same moment, the planet would fly out of it's orbit. Or maybe not. Perhaps.

They'd all be pushing down at the same time though.

It just maybe that the food poisoning could be related to one of the previous 9 pints taken as an aperetief being off rather than any problem with the curry or kebab

If the entire population of Belgium played "Pile on", no one would care.

As a scientist I dispute that.
As soon as everyone jumped then as @Drago said the planet would fly out of orbit.....so when they "landed" the earth wouldnt actually be there and everyone would disappear into a black hole
