Random facts ...

Danny!Danny! Deactivated Posts: 560 Incredible Poster
I thought it would be fun to start a random facts thread, please feel free to add yours in. Funny, interesting, just plain weird - all good :) Here's one to start:

One of the first pregnancy tests based on modern science (and therefore being successful in predicting pregnancy) used frogs (more successful than mice and rabbits which had been tried before!).

If injected with the urine of a pregnant woman, certain types of frogs will ovulate, and then you know you're pregnant!

(don't try this at home, it's a little unfair on the frog).

    Frogs as pregnancy tests...? :eek2: Gotta appreciate living in the 21st century!

    My random fact is this:
    Someone has discovered how to make chocolate from nothing!!

    Does anyone know how this works, or has this guy just broken maths?

    Watch the video again. Put your cursor point on the top left or top right corner of the chocolate. When the pieces have been moved you'll see your cursor is now above the chocolate, so it's shrunk.
