Useless fact about 3: Take any number, add the digits together and if the answer is 3,6 or 9 the original number is divisible by 3. eg 411 ... 4+1+1 = 6 therefore 411 is divisible by 3.

Fun Fact: (4) Lets discuss DNA, it's what makes you, you and what makes me, me. DNA is unique to each person, and is made up of only 4 basic building blocks called nucleotides. The 4 are known as A,C,G&T. Each human cell has about 3 billion pairs of bases and if uncoiled the DNA string is about 2 metres long. If you got all the DNA out of all your trillions of cells and joined them up, they would reach beyond the edge of our solar system.

I'm intrigued to see if 5c pieces are ever minted with the king on the back or whether they'll use the opportunity to stop manufacturing them. Your thoughts?

Fun Fact about Echidnas. Can you spot what's wrong about the picture below ...


Echidnas rear feet actually face backwards, and museums have been known to break the ankles of samples to make the display appear as people would expect, as shown above.

They may well use it as an opportunity to stop minting 5c coins. They seem intent to limit the currency with King Charles' image. Mostly as the present government is so socialist and left that they would prefer to be a republic. So they'll do everything possible to remove the monarchy.

Should we create a new forums thread just for fun facts?

The nine-tailed fox (Chinese: 九尾狐; pinyin: jiǔwěihú) is a mythical fox entity originating from Chinese mythology that is a common motif in East Asian mythology and the most famous fox spirit in Chinese culture.

In Chinese and East Asian folklore, foxes are depicted as spirits possessed of magic powers. These foxes are often depicted as mischievous, usually tricking other people, with the ability to disguise themselves as a beautiful woman. The Nine-tailed fox is sometimes compared to the Werewolf in the European folklore

The largest bowling center in the world is in Japan, featuring 116 lanes.
Not in USA as I expected.

I'll add my useless information.

If you repeat a word or phrase over and over constantly without thinking about it; you will soon lose context as to what it means. This is called Semantic satiation.

Semantic satiation: Is a psychological phenomenon in which repetition causes a word or phrase to temporarily lose meaning for the listener, who then perceives the speech as repeated meaningless sounds.

Did you know there was an Emu war

In 1932 emus were running amok in the farmlands of Campion, WA, so the Australian military were called in to “manage the situation” … with machine guns. One month and 10,000 rounds later, the crestfallen field force of humans withdrew from combat having only knocked off only 986 of the 20,000 bullet-dodging feathered heroes. Emus won the war. Lest we forget
