Interesting Things We Didn't Know Last Year ...

I recently read an article on the BBC News website that listed 100 things we didn't know last year. Did you know:

• there are 200 million blogs that are no longer being updated
• the lion costume from the Wizard of Oz was made from real lions
• each person sends an average of 55 greeting cards per year
• more than 90% of plane crashes have survivors (ha ha - to all you Lost fanatics)
• watching television can act as a natural painkiller for children
• a domestic cat can frighten a black bear to climb a tree

Some of these are specifically british, but there are some very interesting findings on this list also. And yes, there are links to more information on each of these, so you can research further to decide if you find them to be true or not.
