FACT = BO JO a complete Muppet/Buffoon !!!
Serial killer and certified lunatic Richard Chase often complained that his heart would occasionally "stop beating", or that "someone had stolen his pulmonary artery”.
He would hold oranges on his head, believing Vitamin C would be absorbed by his brain via diffusion. Chase also believed that his cranial bones had become separated and were moving around, so he shaved his head to be able to watch this activity.

bear pelt trader middlemen in 17-18 century Europe were known as bearskin jobbers. Their tendency to sell pelts they had not yet bought (in the hope/anticipation future prices [when they actually took possession] would have fallen,) is where the stockmarket term 'bears' comes about. The term 'bulls' derived from that as well (bear vs bull battles being a popular spectator pastime back then)

Isn't half of the Mediterranean coastline also Africa's coastline?

it's shared by three continents: Asia, Africa and Europe. I would guess in a 20%, 45%, 35% coastline 'ratio' (the Sinai being geographically Asian)
If 45% of the Med's coastline is shared with Africa then it looks like Africa's coastline is much greater. I suspect that it is a lot less than 45%. That sneaky bit to the right of Italy (up and own) is quite long, as is the area between Greece and Turkey plus the coastline going round all the islands.
