Stephen Fry says that Houdini could pick up pins with his eyelashes and thread a needle with his toes.

Edit: And that semen can be used as invisible ink.

You're twice as likely to see a tornado in Britain than in the U.S.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That's because here in the US, tornadoes mostly come at night. Mostly.

OK, I made that up. Anyway, I thought the US central plains was tornado capital of the world. Oh well.

Seriously?? More tornadoes in Britain?? Why do we never hear about them? Do they do as much damage? Are there more hard-core tornadoes in the US, or have we just been brainwashed?

[edit: or is it just "in all of america" vs "all of britain", where we figure that alaska and hawaii and so on don't have a lot of tornadoes, but if we compare "tornadoey parts of britain" vs "great plains", it's def great plains?]

I bet it has something to do with Stonehenge. Which, incidentally, is not a henge.

Fascinating fact - it's not stone either. It's plaster over chicken wire. They just discovered this last year.

Yes, apparently they are more dangerous and destructive in the U.S., particularly in Tornado Alley.
