What bit of random knowledge do you know?

Mine is I can remember the barcode for a Cadbury crème egg. I worked in a co-op over twenty years ago and they often didn’t scan so you had to put the number in and I can still remember it.

Aldous Huxley and CS Lewis both died on the same day .. and that day was the day that JFK was assassinated

Hippos can’t swim!

That a kiwi contains ten times the nutritional content of any other fruit or vegetable, and that you should eat one first thing and wait at least 20 minutes before eating anything else.

The middle one, probably.

The distance from your elbow to your wrist is the same length as your foot.

I can also recite the registration numbers of all the cars my parents have owned since I was born. I remember phone numbers and birthdays of childhood friends. Anything to do with numbers just seems to stick.

The pygmy shrew is the smallest British mammal.

I smugly used old car reg as passwords till I discovered my little brother remembered them too (we're talking 80s cars).
I also remember all the numbers, phone numbers for friend and family, birthdays etc.
Crappy skill till said little brother died suddenly and I could unlock his phone (and therefore his life) by instinctively trying the code for his bike lock from the late 80s on pure instinct, I have no idea how that idea came to me.
But fun fact, the last date all humans were on earth was 2/11/00 as there has been a person in space at any given time ever since.

Random bit of knowledge I acquired when I was
about 10: the temperature of a dead body decreases by about 1 degree per hour after death assuming normal ambient temperature. Background info: I’m the daughter of two homicide detectives.

I remember our first phone number from 60 years ago (moved from that house before I was 8).

This has absolutely blown my mind.

Woolly Mammoths - who I learned about in school when being taught about dinosaurs - were around when the pyramids were built!

The Britney Spears song Toxic was written about ‘super vet’ Noel Fitzpatrick.

When you cut a worm in half, the 'tail' half dies, but the 'head' half regrows a new tail half. (Makes them hard to kill then! Not that I would want to!)

Approximately 99.6% to 99.9% of tortoiseshell cats are female.

Approximately 80% of ginger cats are male.

There’s a planet mostly made from diamond. It is called 55 Cancri e, it's around twice the size of Earth, and around 40 light-years away

The longest anyone has held their breath underwater is over 24 minutes.

You can only fold an A4 piece of paper in half 7 or 8 times.

I can rhyme off my dads national insurance number but have no idea what mine is after the first 2 letters!

Is there something missing here??

One person a minute? Hour? A day? A week? Ever?
