You can only be double/half somebody else's age once in a lifetime 

If you’re just measuring in years like normal people then nah. 
 

Person x can be 2 years old when person y is 1 and person x can also be 4 years old when person y is 2.

You only breathe out of one nostril at a time and this switches every 4-6 hours 

Even if you're Daniella Westbrook?

Chris Moyles has started doing this feature back on his show. The Stupid Amnesty always gets me with 1 or 2 things. 

Ashamed to say I was in my mid 30s before I realised there isn't different pepper plants for red, yellow and green and that it was just the ripeness.

Blown my mind, this. Genuinely 

You are about 1cm taller in the morning due to spinal compression that happens throughout the day.

I know something that's bigger in the morning, but it's got nothing to do with compression.

Please don't listen to Chris Moyes FFS. 

 

If you like that feature then Jason Manford does "Hit me with your best facts" on a Sunday morning with Steve Edge.

Why the hate? Did he go out with your cousin?

The original Monopoly was invented by a woman in 1904 to highlight the dangers of unchecked capitalism, she was told her concept was too complex, then the idea was stolen.
Long before Monopoly became a family game-night staple, it was a pointed critique of economic inequality. The game was originally created in 1904 by Elizabeth Magie, an American writer, inventor, and staunch supporter of economist Henry George’s ideas about land reform. She called it The Landlord’s Game and designed it to demonstrate how wealth accumulation and rent-seeking concentrated power in the hands of a few while impoverishing everyone else.
Magie patented the game in 1904, including two rule sets: one where players competed to monopolize property and another where everyone benefited equally from shared wealth — a direct moral lesson about the difference between greed and fairness. She hoped it would teach players that monopolies harm society.
Years later, Charles Darrow encountered a version of Magie’s game, modified and circulating informally among friends and communities. He sold it to Parker Brothers in the 1930s, claiming it as his own invention. The company bought Magie’s patent for just $500 and erased her name from history. Monopoly went on to become one of the best-selling board games of all time — ironically celebrating the very capitalist spirit it was meant to criticize.
Added Fact: Elizabeth Magie’s original 1904 patent for The Landlord’s Game remains one of the earliest known board game patents filed by a woman in the United States.

As the gesture of a friendly neighbour, I hope you've popped round and asked to borrow a Teasmaid, a fondue set and a cuddly toy?
