Knowledge

In a very cool feature the BBC News put out a list of 100 things we didnt know last year. Some personal favorites...

5. Cloudy apple juice is healthier than clear, containing almost double the antioxidants which protect against heart disease and cancer.

29. The average duvet is home to 20,000 live dust mites. (in the UK that is!)

42. Nearly seven out of 10 (69%) of adults are still in touch with at least one childhood friend. (I consider myself lucky to be in touch with half a dozen)

46. Peanuts can be made into diamonds.

67. The brain can turn down its ability to see in order to listen to complex sounds like music. (a personal favorite for obvious reasons)
