I have never worked out if all of Gyles’ stories are BS or the truth 🤣 either way they’re brilliant.

Half and half, I reckon!

[@CrimsonKage]

I suspect that a lot of us have similar stories, we just don't know about them because we haven't done our own geneology. Also, the UK is significantly smaller yet more 'historic' in the near-past than the US is, they had the largest city in the world just 100+ years ago AND the first industrial revolution, just a lot of people doing a lot of firsts at the time in memory of being able to look it up, but it not be totally mundane. Yes there were famous firsts in US history in the recent past, but if they took place in New York or LA, that's still states away, whereas in the UK you could go to the next town or even investigate your own and have a pretty good chance of uncovering someone from your family.

Unfortunately, the evidence for Southport being the prototype for the boulevards of Paris is scanty at best and there are no 'circles' there on contemporaneous maps. Louis Napoloeon is said to have rented a house but he never resided there. As for wives, he only had one, the Empress Eugénie who was Spanish. Otoh he had a wealthy English mistress Harriet Howard.

Fabio incident was at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Va. The ride was the Loch Ness Monster, and the goose flew into his face on the first big drop on the way down. There was a picture in the Daily Press that printed the still photo of the impact. I lived in the area at that time. :)

[@runebel]

It was a goose? I would believe those could bring down a plane..

[@lilyluvsulots]

Bird strikes are dangerous on planes because they’re pressurized, they also get sucked into the engines. Planes also are moving much faster than most rollercoasters so the PSI from the strike is much higher.

[@al145]

Somehow he didn't break his nose or anything, and if I recall, the blood was the goose's, not even his. I've no idea HOW, and if I'm mistaken don't quote me

R.E. National lottery number selections. A couple of years ago the numbers selected were 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 and 42. Thousands of people thought they had won millions but ended up with a couple of hundred quid and people who had won with 4 or 5 numbers got a smaller payout than those who got three numbers, because the £30 prize was fixed.

[@SpeccyMan]

The lottery can't be entirely random. The amount of ink used to print each number on each ball is different so by the smallest of margins some are more likely to fall in.

[@khymaaren]

Here's a thought: the amount of paint is always the same, so some balls are painted thicker while others are painted thinner.

Of all those 12,000 people who play last week's lottery numbers, how many times have the same numbers come up twice in a row? Seems like something that would be extremely unlikely

[@dudessjoddie]

Has exactly the same chance of coming up as any other sequence, statistically speaking.

[@vink6163]

@@dudessjoddie Yeah but that's like saying the chances of winning are 50%, either you win or you don't. The chances of the same numbers coming up twice in a row are much less likely than any of the other millions of possibilities. There's a > 99% chance the second numbers won't be the same as the first.

I have had an amazing thought. 10.24. if thats true then just sharing cells with someone can change the make up of yours, and vice versa. If memory "could" reside in cells then which cells? Swap them and you can have new memories ... Its also occurred to me that this is already happening all the time , hence ideas pop into your head from nowhere. Maybe somebody else had it and you swapped cells. Its evolutions way of getting ideas enacted?. The "idea" is flying around until it finds someone who actually does it.

I wish people would not use double negatives such as "weren't never" which, when you expand the contraction, is "were not never" and would end their fucking sentence with a full stop. Trans is not a Greek prefix (all actual phobias usually have a Greek prefix), ergo transphobia cannot be a phobia. The very simple reason being that disagreement with, or non-acceptance of, a gender identity is in no way an irrational fear!

QI lies yet again... the choice of 60 is not to do with its abstract factors, but everything to do with the average length of a day, the number of Moons in a year as believed by the Sumerians and Babylonians, the number of digits in a hand, and the temporal length of a resting heartbeat. The original rationale has been buried by the Christian Church hell-bent on burying the pre-Christian origin of Christian beliefs..

[@StubbyandShifu]

Sandy did credit the ancient Babylonians.

[@Silly.Old.Sisyphus]

@@StubbyandShifu yes, she did read out the Encyclopedia Britannica definition, which is wrong, for the reason i gave, which - to repeat - is that the reason was not the arithmetical convenience of abstract factorisation, which is an Rs about face way of looking at it. The numbers 5 and 12 are part of the equation, but the Sumerians' (from whom the Babylonians got their ideas) key reason for choosing 60 is the arithmetical relationship between their observations of the number of heartbeats in a day and the number of months in a year. Of course, they fiddled the numbers to fit their theory, like all three wise men do 😀
