Random Facts!

Did you watch the Top 10 moments? I didn't know this until I saw this programme!

Erm.. my contribution... hang on I'll think of something..... H is always full of useless facts.... I'll get back to you on that one......

The actress that played Narcissa Malfoy in HP was meant to have played Bellatrix, but she fell pregnant and the part, thankfully, went to the amazing Helena Bonham Carter. The actress then obviously got the part of Narcissa.

Big Mo in EE and Gary Oldman are brother and sister - still surprised by how many people don't know this....

Really?! i never knew that. They don't look at all alike.

Chris Rankin who plays Percy Weasley in the Harry Potter films attended The university of Lincoln and is graduating this year. I used to see him around campus all the time!

It would take 3,844,000,000,0 hula hoops stacked one on top of the other to reach the moon?

The crisps or the toy?

I know too many random facts, but none that are springing to mind! ?

They usually come out during a conversation relevant to the fact if that makes sense.

The mighty Wannabe was written after the Spice Girls and song writers had been messing about singing 'Summer Nights' from Grease - they have a very similar baseline.

Some of Alan Rickman's scenes got cut in Robin Hood POT after Kevin Costner demanded they were as Alan was stealing the show.

Alice Eve who played Charlotte's nanny in SATC2 is the daughter of Trevor Eve & Sharon Maughan.

Kelly Bishop was originally cast to play Vivienne Pressman in Dirty Dancing until the actress who was playing Marge unexpectedly walked off set never to return. Kelly then took over as Marge but if you watch the when the Houseman car first pulls in to Kellerman's you can see it is a blonde lady in the car, not Kelly.

the crisp!! and i wrote the nuber wrong, its ****,000!!

I recently found out by watching the behind the scenes bits for The Social Network, that the Winklevoss twins were played by two completely different people! They CGI'd the face on to another person.

The thread about 9/11 has just reminded me...

When Chandler and Monica go on honeymoon in Friends, the episode shown was not the original episode due to be screened. In the original scenes, M&C get pulled into airport security because Chandler makes jokes about having a bomb on a plane but the episode was due to be shown not long after 9/11 and so they changed them.

If you have the boxset they show the original scenes after the episode.

Apples are 25% air.

no we missed it!! i read it in an article!

the Kelly Bishop ones reminds me, she plays Loralie's mum in the Gilmour Girls!

Another Family one- Amanda Redman used to be married to Robert Glenister from Hustle who is Philip Glenister's (life on mars) brother!

am i a total geek by knowing the Harry Potter or Harry potter actor related ones?! apart from the Robin Hood one though, Im not surprised Kevin was Well Jel, Alan Rickman was amazing in that film!!

Money is printed on a form of cotton ( i was surprised how many people at work thought it was paper, one know it all even argued with me)

Your foot is the same length as the distance from your elbow to your wrist (or very close to)

Your arm span is equal to your height, i used to know loads more from watching repeats of QI but my memory is useless.

More people are killed a year in donkey related incidents than in plane crashes

My 3 random facts are

• Rabbits have no gag reflex, and so can't throw up
• Sharks don't have any bones, their skeleton is made of cartilage (sp) - if this is incorrect blame my OH
• if you put your arms out full length to your side and measure from tip to tip of your middle fingers across your body, it's the same distance as your height!

I always thought it was only possible to fold a piece of paper in half 7 times maximum no matter what size it is?

Horses have a one way sphincter entering their stomach which prevents them from ever being sick.

A panda can only mate successfully for about two days per year.

Dalmatian puppies are born white & develop spots at about 2 weeks old.

A horse will only ever be born white if it has a genetic problem which means it will usually die by the time it is 6 weeks old. Horses can be born cremello (pale cream), albino (no pigment) or start off as black/bay/chestnut & then go white as they get older. Although they look white they are actually a mix of white & black/dark brown hair which is why white horses are always referred to as greys.

Sorry, all my facts seem to be animal based for some reason!

i love this, its like a surprise at what the pup will actually look like!

I want a dalmo pup ☹️

Yep, both of these are true. Which is why they only know the thing about paper reaching the moon in theory.

My facts are:

Bananas grow on a herb

Mila Kunis who played Lily in The Black Swan is also the voice of Meg Griffin in Family Guy.

Oooh, I knew this too! Only found out recently tho... can't remember what programme it was that I was watching... I love Family Guy - makes me belly laugh ?

I'm not sure if she still does, but she was in a long term relationship with Macaulay Culkin!! ?

I think she still does Megs voice, but she replaced someone else. And I found her relationship with M C ?. She's so good-looking, why would she want to be with this:

The lyrics:

There's a river born to be a giver
Keep you warm won't let you shiver
His heart is never gonna wither
Come on everybody time to deliver

from Give It Away by RHCP are about River Pheonix. He was good friends with the band and Flea even travelled in the ambulance with him to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Was just listening to the song and it reminded me...

You can clean copper pots with ketchup or brown sauce too!

The Scoville scale measures the 'hotness' of peppers and chillis. Scotch Bonnet Chillis register in the 100,000 range, your average supermarket green pepper is less than 1000. Police pepper spray comes in at 5 million.

The weird thing is that Georgia Moffet (Peter Davidson's daughter) actually played Jenny "The Doctor's Daughter" in the episode of the same name while David Tennant played the Doctor. Georgia originally auditioned for the part of Rose.

I have a couple:

The song American Pie, is about the day music died when Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the big bopper

Now I could be wrong with this but they kicked the bucket comes from the bucket below a pig when they are draining the blood into it. One of the last acts is the pig knocks the bucket or something like that. Horrible one I know
