The quickest possible round-the-world flight time by commercial airliner is 44 hours.
The remains of birds hit by planes is known as 'snarge'. 80% of plane crashes occur in the first 3 minutes, or the last 8 minutes, of a flight. Only 5% of the world's population have been on an aeroplane. Before Amy Johnson flew solo from Britain to Australia, the furthest she had flown was from Hendon to Hull. Almost 50% of all airline pilots admit they have fallen asleep on the job. |

The first man made object in space was the German V2 rocket.
Russian cosmonauts routinely took guns into space in case re-entry landed them in the Siberian wilderness. In 1905 the city of Birmingham banned rifle shooting in pubs. The gun laws in Tombstone, Arizona, are less strict today than they were at the time of the gunfight at the OK Corral. In Kennesaw, Georgia, gun ownership is a requirement of the law. There is only one gunshop in Mexico. 90% of the country's firearms are smuggled in from the U.S.A. |

The first-ever edition of the Daily Mirror, left, came with a free mirror. Absolutely useless trivia When I was a paper boy, the last numbered edition of the Daily Mirror that I delivered, before I changed to a job at another shop, was either number 9,450 or 19,450. |

Spiders can survive for hours underwater by entering a self-induced coma.
A bite from the Brazilian wandering spider results in a erection that lasts for several hours. In Britain, spiders outnumber people by more than 500,000 to 1. The Natural History Museum in London has 22,000 drawers filled with beetles. If dung beetles disappeared from the plains of Africa, its human inhabitants would be up to their waist in crap within a month. |

Footprints left on the Moon by Apollo astronauts will remain visible for at least 10 million years because there is no erosion on the Moon. At least four popes died from malaria, and at least eight U.S. Presidents suffered from malaria at various times. |

At least 170 civil servants in the UK are paid more than the prime minister.
The House of Commons only has enough seats for about three quarters of all the country's MPs. In July 2013, more peopel believed in ghosts than supported the Labour Party. More people in Britain describe their religion as Jedi Knight than there are members of the Tory party. Since the 2001 census, the number of people claiming to be Jedi has fallen by more than half. |

And his - David Cameron's, not WIlliam IV's - mother's brother-in-law was chairman of Aston Villa. On the website thepeerage.com, which shows the genealogy of such people, the number of people listed with the surname "Cameron" is 666. |
