Not so interesting trivia....
 
I love trivia, you know the really bizarre information that you can't imagine why anyone would bother working it out.

Like, for instance, 80% of girl's names have an 'a' in them.

Lots more trivia please!

Women can talk longer with less effort than men can. That has been proved repeatedly. Why? Because the vocal cords of women are shorter than those of men and so release less air through them to carry the sound. It's all a matter of breathing.

I read that the only thing that can be genetically predicted about a child, but only a male child, it isn't applicable to girls, is that he'll be taller than is mother.

I was told that you should divide the height difference of the father and mother and add it onto the father for working out how tall a son will be and onto the mother to work out how tall the daughter will be.
