Though flawed - how can the author NOT include electric guitar? - this list reminds me of my favorite (US) mag, Mental Floss. Every page reveals unexpected info, such as
-Vikings drove sleds using giant pomeranians
-Salman Rushdie was an ad agency copywriter from 1970 to 1981
-Only one sixth of all microbial species in one hand are present in the other
-Vladimir Putin held a 6th degree black belt in judo, while Teddy Roosevelt's brown belt enabled him to toss a Swiss delegate around during a White House luncheon.
If only time travel were perfected, Putin, Roosevelt, and JJ could compete in a caged death match.
