One of my favourite facts is

[ColinJ]

My ex swears that I once seriously suggested that there are more grains of sand in the world than there are atoms in the universe but I don't believe her!

 

[accountantpete]

There are....wait for it

1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

atoms in the universe

There are....wait for it

1,000,000,000,000,000,...,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

atoms in the universe

That's more than there are grains of sand in the world, right?

What exactly is a cubic square mile of fog? It's not a unit that I recognise.

You can have a square mile which is two dimensional or a cubic mile which is three dimensional. I can't get my head around a cubic square mile unless I'm missing something that's glaringly obvious.

I'm puzzled too. A cubic mile is a cubic mile. A square mile of fog - how deep is the fog?

I think you have all missed the deliberate trap set by the OP.

A cubic square mile....

Thats a cubic mile that is really.............''like square man''

As opposed to a cubic right-on mile.......'' that's like really rockin' man''

Everyone knows right-on stuff has more substance than square stuff.

All right you buch o' berks...
I've bloody changed it 'avent I?

 

[marinyork]

That's more than there are grains of sand in the world, right?

There are more stars than there are grains of sand in the world.

The Austin/Morris 1100 was the first British car to have curved glass in its side windows. That is a fact, and not a lot of people know it.

Top Gear assert that those who purchase Audis are c0cks. The fact is that 'tee tee' in Tagalog (the language of the Philippines) is slang for the male appendage, so all Audi TT owners please be aware of what your car name means.

The above truly is one of my favourite facts.

 

[xpc316e]

Do you require any more car facts, or is that enough?

 

[swee'pea99]

There are more stars than there are grains of sand in the world.

Is that true? If that's true, that really is mind-shagging.

 

[ianrauk]

Apparently the human eye can only see up to 2000 stars at any one time

 

[bonj2]

course it is... there is probably an infinite amount of stars

 

[just jim]

The International Space Station is in fact an Arkship, the purpose of which is to ensure the survival of the human race post 2012.

Maybe we need a separate thread for this stuff.
