1. There is a correlation between female infidelity and male testicle size in primates.

2. Hillary Clinton hasn’t driven a car since 1966.

3. Biodynamic wine-makers inBurgundy soothe their vines after hail storms with homeopathic doses of arnica.

4. Soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbachev banned the sale of vodka before lunch-time in 1985.

5. If your arm itches, looking in the mirror and scratching the mirror image of that arm (the one that isn’t itchy) helps, although it only provides a quarter of the relief of scratching the arm that actually itches. (Okay, that sounds interesting on a purely academic level, but I don’t think I’d have the patience for all that when I have an itch.)

6. Food can be grown 100feet (30m) below ground level.

7. William Thackeray is the mutual ancestor of David Cameron and Al Murray.

8. Humans picked up genes linked with smoking addiction when they interbred with the Neanderthals.

9. Half of the world’s men are clueless about the size of their partner’s dresses.

10. You can open a can of food simply by rubbing it on a concrete surface.
