I may have jumped to the conclusion that hoss googled. When you point out that he may have known, you could be right.

(But I don't think he can count, he's only got one hoof per hand).

It is quite often stated that the number of people alive today outnumbers all of the previous humans that have ever lived, or put another way the living outnumber the dead.
It is a little known fact that this is nonsense. And probably never will be true. It has been estimated that there have been ~115 billion people who have lived, with the present world population at just over 7 billion. So the living are just 6% of the dead.

My mate was telling me at the weekend that identical twins were used in every scene of Terminator 2 where the bad guy transforms himself in to somebody. I think spent the film trying to spot differences between each twin.

It's a little known fact that the Green Mile (the 1999 film based on a book by Steven King) is all to cock. It has one of the worst anachronisms of all films. I mean we are not talking something minor like the glimpses of a wristwatch in Braveheart or the padlock in Gladiator, neither of which had been invented at the time the film was set. Oh no, the anachronism is central to the storyline insofar as the action is set in Louisiana in 1935. Unfortunately the method of execution in Louisiana was hanging, the electric chair was not enacted by the state legislature as a method of execution until 1940. Uh oh.

A research group at Cambridge Uni. used it to watch their coffee.

Wiki says ... First developed in 1991, a webcam was pointed at the Trojan Room coffee pot in the Cambridge University Computer Science Department. The camera was finally switched off on August 22, 2001. The final image captured by the camera can still be viewed at its homepage.[2][3] The oldest webcam still operating is FogCam at San Francisco State University, which has been running continuously since 1994.[4]

I was about to say I'd just discovered that I had no idea how to turn white text visible on a phone. But it's a little known fact that you just quote the post and it turns black! Ha.
