Due to EU rules the UK will change from left-hand drive to right-hand drive from 2017. To appease potential anti-European feeling, it will be phased in. For the first two years only lorries will drive on the right with cars switching over from 2019.

If Brooklyn wasn't one of the 5 boroughs of New York City, it would be the 4th biggest metropolitan area in the USA!

On a somewhat related point, whilst Central Park is 2.5 miles long and 0.5 miles wide, it's still only the third largest park in New York City.

There are twice as many eyebrows as people in the world.

Not quite. My mate Dave currently has no eyebrows after having them waxed off after a heavy Friday night, and another mate Jake has what is known as a monobrow.
