Did you know...

...that Nike's tick logo is called "The Swoosh"?

I didn't until today

[Moniac]

And Nike was a Greek goddess.

And Adidas is called Adidas because the founder was called Adi Dassler

Did you know... if it were possible to capture the energy realised by the sun in just one second, you would have enough to power America for around 9 million years. Love facts like that

Don't worry, I'm here all evening

And Adidas is called Adidas because the founder was called Adi Dassler

And Puma started by his brother....as they went their separat ways after running Adidas together under a different name, which escapes me right now. A lot of bad blood if I remember a documentary, I saw ages ago, correctly. Intriguing story as I cannot at all understand how you can fall out that badly with a siebling. If you never got along in the first place, maybe, but working side by side for years and years, and then boom. Stunning.

Haha great replies guys. I love a bit of useless knowledge

Try putting a mate on the spot with a quick "Random fact. Go." some time and see what they come out with...

The Darwin Awards salute the improvement of
the human genome by honoring those who
accidentally remove themselves from it...

sadly, i almost qualified for those about 6 weeks ago. was *fixing* my shed roof by placing the ladders against the front apex of the roof. forgetting that gravity is a weird and wonderful force, i leaned across the roof at a 45% degree angle to remove some wooden strapping. of course, the ladders followed suit and i ended up tumbling 8 feet, shoulder 1st into the concrete below. i literally lay there dazed for about (what seemed like) 30-45 seconds, before the pain took hold. I'd crushed a nerve but luckily not broken anything. still in recovery, tho there is a small positive, excluded from odd jobs, even cutting the grass -lol.

i guess my point is, that although maybe not in true Darwin Award style, it just shows how a millisecond of ape-like behaviour can either kill or maim you for want of a bit of grey matter deduction. i know which tree i swing from

[mobius]

Ouch!! But you must try much harder to <get> an award. Get well soon.
