My fact of the day is that despite their songs only one of the Beach Boys actually surfed.

Love this thread. So interesting and informative and a bit off the wall too.

Penguins can shoot poo balls!

Some fish will shoot jets of water at you 😃

Two Hawaiian Princes introduced surfing to Britain in the late 1800s.

Would love to be able to direct one of those cheeky chappies to fire a few rounds off when someone is holding me up......

A human could swim through the veins of a blue whale.

As someone who dreams A LOT (and have books and books of my dreams written down!) I find this fascinating.

The people we "see" in our dreams are people we've met or seen, however fleetingly, in real life. Our brain cannot make up "new" faces. It can, however, amalgamate specific features we've noticed (big noses, flappy ears etc!) and can add those to people we've seen.
