A thread for weird and wonderful facts which may or my not be interesting.

Inspired by a random irrelevent fact on a packet of bananas.

Peanuts are an ingredient in dynamite.

The sound of E.T. walking was made by someone squishing her hands in jelly.

Dentists have recommended that a toothbrush be kept at least 6 feet (2 m) away from a toilet to avoid airborne particles resulting from the flush.

Every time you lick a stamp, you're consuming 1/10 of a calorie.

Artificial stimuli can evoke sensations such as taste. For instance, shake an imaginary salt cellar into your mouth and be pleasantly suprised :)

Despite the warnings on Petrol Stations there have been no substantiated incidents of mobile phones setting off explosions on petrol pumps.

The Tasmanian Devil stores body fat in its tail and an unhealthy devil often has a thin tail.

The woodpeckers tongue is so long(in many cases as long as the woodpecker itself), that it is not attached to the woodpecker's head as in most birds, but instead it curls back up around its skull.

I was scared of Bully from Bullseye :p

Ok, the eye needs to keep moving to see. If the eye stops "succading" then you lose vision.

Better have look at this .I was shown this same clip during a safety training exercise a couple of years ago.Petrol (as in the liquid) is not actually flammable it is the vapour which ignites.There are many ways which in theory could create a flash point.Static electricity is the obvious other candidate as is any powered device such as a torch etc.Although unlikely,it is not impossible that a cellphone could ignite petrol vapour as the clip shows.When the dip covers on top of the tanker were removed his mobile clearly did ignite them.
