      as always you are well informed, if you go to the opticians you should get a "visual fields" test. This checks that there are no abnormalities. but yes everyone has a blind spot. it's due to the anatomy of the eye and the retina and optic nerve so I was told

          Arctic and Antarctic come from Greek mean "with bears" and "without bears".

          I can't find out if that is Polar Bears or the Bear constellations though.

                  Ha ha. We had this thread before, I got loads of useless facts. I am the useless facts man.

                  Coca-cola was green and a cough medicine when first developed. It also had minute traces of cocaine in it to get people addicted.

                  Snails can sleep for upto 3 years.

                  Postman is the only person who can LEGALLY drive through a red light.

                  Giraffes have blue tongues.

                  It is impossible to lick your own elbow. (Add your name to the list, now that you have just tried and failed.)

                        Human hair and fingernails continue to grow after death and a whip makes a cracking sound because its tip moves faster than the speed of sound.

                          I am not sure about hair and fingernails. Is it not the fact that everything surrounding them decays and gives them the appearance of having grown.
                          I can't wake up Grumpy now in case I am accused of Dwarfism

                            THE TRUTH
                            The Hillsborough Independent Panel. 12/09/12

                            Today's report is black and white.The Liverpool fans were not the cause of the disaster.
                            The panel has quite simply found 'no evidence' in support of allegations of 'exceptional levels of drunkenness, ticketlessness or violence among Liverpool fans' and 'no evidence that fans had conspired to arrive late at the stadium' and 'no evidence that they stole from the dead and dying'.

                                You are now getting me embarrassed by having to say I knew that and I did not need to check.
