Just thought i'd start up a thread for any bored individual with plenty of time on their hands. First piece of useless information is that there are 93 sweets in a tin/box of Celebrations. ( I had nothing better to do last night. The breakdown is Mars 17 Snickers 16 Bounty 16 Milkyway 14 Malteezers 12 Twix 6 Galaxy 6 Caramel 6. Not great if you're a twix fan. So post up you're useful or useless pieces of information. ------------- I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong. |

I reckon the ratio is generally the same in every box - some chocolates must be cheaper to make than the others, so they lump in more of the chepaer ones. Roses are dirt cheap these days, but they've taken out the more expensive sweets to make (Turkish, Bournville etc). |

Art Garfunkel was in Dublin doing a gig years ago and the late Liam Clancy told him to come up to The Embankment later that night for a late beer and a song or two. It was a snowy, icy night, Garfunkel got a Jo Maxi up to the Embankment and knocked on the door. The legendary Mick McCarthy was behind the door and didn't believe it was Garfunkel and told him to p*ss off. Art didn't get in, his taxi was gone and he started walking towards town till a Patrol Car rescued him. Clancy was fookin raging with McCarthy obviously.  ------------- We'll never die, we'll never die, we'll keep the Green Flag flying high......Shamrock Rovers will never die, we'll keep the Green Flag Flying high. 19 Leagues and 25 Cups..... |

In the last 3,500 years, there have been approximately 230 years of peace throughout the civilized world. The average person spends 6 months of their life sitting at red lights. Ten percent of the Russian government's income comes from the sale of vodka. In the United States, a pound of potato chips costs two hundred times more than a pound of potatoes. It costs more to buy a new car today in the United States than it cost Christopher Columbus to equip and undertake three voyages to and from the New World. One-fourth of the world's population lives on less than $200 a year. Ninety million people survive on less than $75 a year. In a lifetime the average human produces enough quarts of spit to fill 2 swimming pools. It has been estimated that humans use only 10% of their brain.
