Groucho's Fact Hunt

[Titus Bramble]

In a 90 minute match, Premier League players burn off the equivalent of 15 Jaffa cakes.

Nearly two thirds of footballers go bankrupt less than 10 years after packing the game in.

@Titus Bramble Lifting your head on a neutron star would require the same energy as climbing Everest.

Space is proper boss.

....just watching an old film on telly called Battle of Coral Sea, not very good but Japanese war film. Thought an actress in it was also in the Guns of Navarone with Gregory Peck, lovely looking girl. Did a bit of a Google and indeed it is the same actress. Found out that she was named one of the most beautiful women in the world. Also noticed she was born in Liverpool. Amazing fact that. Her name is Gia Scala.

Ice isn't slippery. What makes people slip on ice is water. A thin layer of ice melts when pressure is applied to it and it is this wet layer on top of the ice that is slippery.

The following are titles of four Hollywood films changed and dubbed for the Hong Kong market.

• Fargo: "Mysterious Murder in Snowy Cream."
• The English Patient: "Don't Ask Me Who I Am."
• Boogie Nights: "His Powerful Device Makes Him Famous."
• Nixon: "The Big Liar."

...a horse called First Bombardment won the Brocklesby at Doncaster on Saturday. From a fact hunt perspective, it is owned by a syndicate of lads from Hartlepool who named the animal because Hartlepool was the first place bombed in WW1. Not a lot of people know that.

Barn Owls are diurnal, not nocturnal as commonly believed. They mainly hunt prior to and during dusk and dawn.

Their ears are set on their face and not on the sides of their heads.

......with the Grand National a week or so away, I thought it would be interesting to post a fact from the first ever race.

The race was first run in 1839 and won by a horse called Lottery, but there is a more lasting fact. A horse called Conrad fell at a fence called Brook No1 whilst disputing the lead with Lottery. Conrad's jockey was catapulted into the deep brook but had the presence of mind to calmly prop himself up against the bank of the brook as the cavalry of following horses flew over his head. The jockey's name was Captain Beecher and the fence has since been known as Beecher's Brook.

Not a lot of people know that.

Unfortunately she'd be able to see me taking a picture. I'll just have to sneakily enjoy it by myself...
