yes I often hear of a strange fact......though I couldn't think of one at the moment, I find that when watching quiz shows a question pops up and I have the answer from way back when I picked that odd fact up! hope that makes sense.

Everyone’s urine is recycled into drinking water, surely?

Taking those last 3 posts together, I suppose the water I’ve just used to make a cup of tea is very likely recycled dinosaur wee.

They're marsupials
