In Thailand you can't legally buy alcohol in a shop or restaurant between 2 and 5pm.

It's not illegal to get drunk in a bar in full public view during these hours. But you can't pick up a bottle of wine or a few bottles of beer in a supermarket or shop, nor can you have a glass of beer or wine with a meal in a restaurant, during those three hours.

a young Duck Billed Platypus is called a Puggle...

Below are a couple of bizarre collective nouns for animals:

group of Crows = a murder

group of Orangatangs = a buffoonery


I love a bit of randomly useless info!

One I used to use in my email campaigns:

If you open your shop for 8 hours 5 days a week, you are open to the public for 2,080 hours a year.

If you have a great website, you are open to the public for 8,760 hours a year!

The names of the continents all end with the same letter with which they start.

A snail can sleep for 3 years.

All the planets in our solar system rotate anticlockwise, except Venus. It is the only planet that rotates clockwise.
