Rather randomly....
... and even more trivially......
Whilst catching up on some Pogo badges in "Trivial Pursuit Daily", I have come across some interesting but entirely useless information....
Hitler's favourite film was King Kong.
Winston Churchill smoked two cigars a day.
The kookaburra is the largest of all the kingfishers.
150 years ago, Reuters began as a line of carrier pigeons, carrying banking information between Aachen and Brussels (a two hour flight).
Orville Wright flew for 43 years without a pilot's licence.
Go figure...... It snowed last night and it's bloody cold now - The peak temperature for the rest of the whole week is four degrees (C)!!!

Ha! I laugh in the face of your almost tropical temperatures.
Well now I know that the kookaburra is a kingfisher....John Williamson does a fair mimic of it's call whilst singing Home Among The Gum Trees. In case your interested in yet more semi-useless tivia.
Wow, now that's a cracking bit of trivia!! (goes off in search of John Williamson tunes)
