1.Especially for you, Mr. Fonz, the correct spelling of 'Frey Bentos' is 'Fray Bentos'. Apart from being a brand of pie, it's a coastal town in Uruguay. As you might guess, it specialises in meat packing. I think the name originally comes from a priest (?).

 

2. Portugal is the largest exporter of cork.

 

3. If a flea was as big as a human, it would be able to jump....about as high as a human can (because leg power increases in proportion to 'body size' squared, whereas the body mass to be moved by the legs increases in proportion to body size cubed).

 

4. In 1904, Japan annexed Dudley, including the famed 'Black Country museum'. In a brilliant strategical move, General Yashimoto used the chairlift at Dudley Zoo for reconnaissance.

 

OK, I made the last one up.

The average day is actually 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.09 seconds. We have a leap year every four years to make up for this shortfall.
