Ok I'll throw a few pointless things I know on here.
The Country of Iceland is the only country that grows in size every year, not sure by how much though.
Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia is the fear of long words.
The reason cats usually end up being attracted to people who hate cats is because our body language and thiers work differently. If we don't like something or someone we lock eyes with it and look away which is seen as a sign of aggression or dislike, to cats thats a sign of trust.
The amount of porn on the internet actually makes up less than 1% of its content.
In the UK you are legally required to practise the longbow for an hour every Sunday.
The reason why putting up two fingers is seen as an insult is because it originally was a symbol the british would use to the French. We were regarded as some of the best archers in the world and when caught by the French they would remove those two fingers. Sticking them up at the French is basically saying "I still have my fingers and could kill you still". Its just evolved to mean "F**k you".
And lastly the town of Shrewbury in the county of Shropshire was originally spelt Shrovesbury.
