Well, What Do You Know?

Every year the BBC publishes a list of "100 things we didn't know last year". It's always an entertaining read and it's interesting to see how many of them you actually knew. Sad to say, that while several of them are not particularly surprising, this year I can only claim to know 5 of them!

Of the 95 I didn't know, the most startling facts were that:
  • Hamburger-related injuries are on the rise in Taiwan
  • The two most common pronunciations of Van Gogh are wrong.
Although some might argue that finding out that Donald Trump's hair was real was very unexpected...

For the full list, see the BBC site.
