MORE INBELIEVABLE FACTS

On Tuesday night I had no material to do a post for this site on Wednesday. I enjoy reading about strange and hard to believe facts, and decided to find some more to post.

Usually, I visit quite a few sites tofilter through the jargon and find really interesting ones.
On this occasion, it took a while to find something worthy, but just after midnight I found a list that grabbed me.

I filtered through the list copying and pasting, and when I got to the end of the list I saw my name there!
I had been copying and pasting from a list on Yummie without recognising my own sheet!
Hence, no article yesterday.
But I have found some, so read on…..
