Yes, life can be amazing! Where did you come across these interesting titbits? It will make up an interesting evening of Trivial pursuit!
Perhaps you should organise a quiz for NSL staff and see how many of these interesting things any of us know. Could be fun or could end up with us all thinking we know nothing!

I am very relieved to be right handed since I probably lost a few years through smoking when I was young. :)
Hi - green coke? Makes you wonder what on earth they put in it (besides vast amounts of sugar). I read somewhere that if you leave a tooth in a glass of it overnight it dizzolves all the enamel - possibly an urban myth, but who knows?
