Stuff I bet you didn't know

*Richard Gere's middle name is Tiffany. (not gerbil)

*The bones from penises of badgers were used by Victorian gentlemen as tie clips. Every primate except man has a penis bone known as the baculum.

*In the Victorian era, people who could not afford chimney sweeps would drop a goose down the chimney or make it fly up through the chimney to clean it instead.

*Peter O'Toole once went to see a play, having forgotten that he was supposed to be in it.

*The country with the highest suicide rate is Lithuania. It has 52 suicides per 100,000, which is more than 13 times higher than the United States and 6½ times higher than Britain.

*The Earth has two moons. Cruithne, discovered in 1997, is a 3-mile (4.8 km) asteroid sometimes described as Earth's second moon. Cruithne orbits the Earth every 770 years. The name "Cruithne" has a Celtic derivation.

*Blue Whales have small throats and can swallow nothing larger than a grapefruit. Their diet consists of eating 3 tonnes of krill every day. Their penis is 16 feet (4.9 m) long and their testicles contain 7 gallons each, but they only weigh 22 lbs, which in equivalent terms, would make human's testicles weigh the same as a broad bean.
