Just looked up some true facts because i'm bored stiff.:rolleyes:

 

The average chocolate bar has 8 insect legs in it.

 

There is enough fuel in a full tank of a jumbo jet to drive an average car four times around the world.

 

Chimps are the only animals that can recognize themselves in a mirror.

 

If you keep a goldfish in the dark room, it will eventually turn white.

 

If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days, you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.

 

Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool, England, but only in tropical fish stores.

 

Romanian firefighters could not get their trucks close enough to a burning building, so they put out the fire by throwing snowballs at it.

 

The biggest dog on record was an Old English Mastiff that weighed 343 pounds. He was 8 feet, 3 inches from nose to tail.

 

Each year, more people are killed by teddy bears than by grizzly bears.

 

32 out of 33 samples of well-known brands of milk purchased in Los Angeles and Orange counties in California had trace amounts of perchlorate. Perchlorate is the explosive component in rocket fuel.

 

The remains of 125 people will be launched into space where they will orbit the Earth for centuries.

 

There is a bar in London that sells vaporized vodka, which is inhaled instead of sipped.

 

As you can see I'm very bored.:D

Have done something like the vodka thing. but with sherry, which was set alight, then we had to inhale the fumes after enough pressure had built up under our hands (which were over the burning glass if that makes sense) i fell off my chair!

Oh hell yes. I ran my car on avtur for 2 years. The gearbox let go before the engine did. You do need to add lubricants to the fuel occasionally or the fuel pump jobber will dry up and then you'l get massive fuel leaks. It also runs cleaner than deisel so it passes emission tests way easier.

 

BTW avgas is petrol 104 RON I beleive
