A 27 year old heir to a sausage empire was handed a ticket for 116,000 pounds for driving at 80 km/hr in a 40 km/hr zone. This is because the speeding tickets in Finland are based on how much money a person makes. There are at least six universal facial expressions. They are: happiness, sadness, disgust, fear, anger and surprise. The unique characteristics of Barbie dolls in Japan are that they have their lips closed with no teeth showing. Popped popcorn should be stored in the freezer or refrigerator as this way it can stay crunchy for up to three weeks. In Belgium, there is a museum that is just for strawberries Ed Cox from San Francisco invented the pot scrubbing S.O.S. pads in 1917. His wife came up with the name, which stands for "Save Our Saucepans." Dating back to 336 A.D., Christmas was first celebrated in ancient Rome, around 300 years after Christ's birth. The rarest chocolate bar in the world is the Porcelana bar. There are only 20,000 of these bars produced a year, and they sell for $90 per pound. In ancient Egypt, the only person who was allowed to wear cotton was the High Priest. The WD in WD-40 stands for Water Displacer.

Hi Robert Hope your holidays were great Thank you and you're welcome

Hello Larry

Happy New Year.  Thank you for sharing these facts, they are interesting. 

I the speeding ticket fine in Finland made sense and should be based on your earnings.

I have sat in the court room and listened to cases that I have felt really sad
for the person because the judge has given more fines to a person who is
over burdened with debt anyway so there is no way that these people can ever
get out from under.

wow, no wonder the chocolate is so rare at $90 per pound, only the rich can
afford that - I wonder what the attraction is - Gold ?? *lol*



Kind regards
