It's interesting to note that every year, at least 2 people are born at the same time, right down to the second.

Darren Gough was born on the day Jimi Hendrix died (18/9/1970). Apparently coincidences like people being born on the same day others die happen, well, everyday really.

If we're going for downright useless facts here:

Most toilets flush in E flat
Most digital alarm clocks ring in the key of B flat

Hm, my toilet doesn't have one clearly defined pitch, but I'd say the G is most prominent. The alarm of my PDA does indeed start with a B flat and is in the key of B flat major (B flat is not a key). 🙂

I don't have perfect pitch, so I used my electronic metronome which can (or could - it just ran out of batteries) play an A.

Sorry but I just had to tell someone.
I would it was unlikely until last year I too ended up playing someone who happened to live 200m from me. Then I moved I started playing someone ekse who live at the end of my new road. Rhp seems popular in Brighton

Last year, my birthday was on a Wednesday. This year it's on a Thursday. How cool is that?

Get this one!

A guy who has recently joined the running club that I run with and has been at the last two XC races (driving the mini-bus to todays race no-less!) lives at #20 on the street where I live at #11.

It is a small world.

I used to play an online game with this guy for a while, then years later, I found him here!
