Hi all,

I’ve got to come up with a fact to round off a work meeting I’m presenting tomorrow. Have no idea what to go for - so AIBU to ask if you can give me any fact inspiration?!

The fact can be on anything at all. Please hit me with your fave facts (and if you can come up with a ‘story’-type fact, that would be amazing!)

Thanks!!

You should never eat a polar bear's liver, it is so rich in Vitamin A (at certain times of year) that it could kill you.

- a male kangaroo has 2 penises; but a female kangaroo as 3 vaginas

Blimey, kangaroo porn must get very complicated.

@IAmFleshIAmBone

A baby girl is born with all her eggs, so your maternal grandmother carried you inside her body.
So if you're female, and you have grandchildren, parts of you have existed in 5 generations, from your maternal grandmother, who carried the egg which formed you when pregnant with your mother, to your grandchild, who was created by an egg you carried when pregnant with your daughter.

At one time a small part of you was part of your grandmother, likewise part of your grandchild was, at one time, part of you!

@CiaoForNiao

If a giraffe drank a cup of coffee it would be cold before it reached its stomach.

If you lick a badgers anus it tastes like raspberry.

Squirrel monkeys have a unique "finger" print in the end of their tail.

I'm dying to know how the badger's anus fact was discovered, and by whom!

And was it the same person who coined the phrase "rougher than a badger's arse"?

At any given time there are about a million people flying. (Maybe less with Covid-19 disruption).

Re the badger's arse, seems as though many, if not all of us, have had a taste:

"Castoreum is a tasty additive made from the secretions of glands near the anus of beavers.They use it to mark their territory and attract a mate: we use it as a sweet vanilla, strawberry and raspberry flavouring in drinks and sweets."

It comes under the heading 'natural flavourings'.
