Can they fit in the palm of your hand

Quite right. I like my moons big and bulbous. This pair of pebbles aren't fooling anyone.

If you have a 20 km hand, yes

No they're not that big mine

No number before 1,000 contains the letter A.

^ What about -1000

And no number before a billion contains the letter B.

There is a superstition at weddings with the elderly in China known as 'snatching joy'. The Chinese boomers intentionally intrude and stand in front of the bride as she makes her big entrance to 'snatch and absorb' away her luck and happiness.

Until today I didn't know that Peeping Tom spied on Lady Godiva

There are different sizes of infinities. For example an infinity of even numbers will always be half the size of an infinity comprised of odd and even numbers.

When I was in college, I entered some college competition and we were given any different questions concerning the history and culture of Great Britain - one of those questions was one on Lady Godiva. No one else knew the answer but myself so I answered (getting the additional point for my team) that: "she was famous for horse riding naked".

There were also other questions like the one about the Spotted Dick - I replied it's "some sort of pudding" (I knew about it from the diaries by Adrian Mole) though actually to me, it sounds rather like something you get when you have contrated an STD

There are crippled beetles like there are crippled people. I saw a beetle that was trying its hardest to fly, but it couldn't.

Speaking of English names and learning new things about those, I'd also love to find out something about the name Percy.

Namely, what's actually wrong with this name? In practically every novel in which I encounter this name, there is something really wrong with its owner. Just look at this: Percy Wetmore - the cruel dude (and a coward at the same time) from "The Green Mile" and also Percy the mommy's boy from "The Long Walk" by Stephen King and another mommy's boy of this name (though he was an assassin) in one of the novels by Pratchett ("Pyramids, Pyramids") and of course, Percy Weasley who was certainly not the nicest among the whole team of the numerous Weasley brothers in "Harry Potter".

Was it just a coincidence that I encountered so many Percys like that or is there some... I don't know myself... maybe a stereotype concerning this name or what?

I've learned that sometimes its nobody's fault

And according to Trump, nothing is ever his fault.

I know how he feels
