I'll begin:

<b>Random fact of the day, #1</b>

Random Fact of the Day
Moose are dangerous. True stories exist of Moose being hit by motor vehicles, which are rendered in-operable by the collision and the moose walking away. Moose can open lathes at Zoos with their lips. Moose knock down trees as they walk through the woods. Moose kill American tourists (or southern Ontarians) who think they are some kind of dumb, wild, cow.

To be honest, I'm not surprised. And I guess there are an awful lot of coaches who don't even play anymore. Or never played more than a few matches. Or at all.

Random Fact of the Day: Despite claims to the contrary, Karhumies is in fact NOT a Top Ten poster.

Random Fact of the Day MkII : 11.9% of posts on the Forums is Macavity surrupitiously attempting to increase his post count. Closely followed by BrownRob trying something equally cunning.(ok, so made up stats arent technically justified. But im sure its probably true Smile )

David Boon famously vomited on the hallowed Adelaide Oval turf in a Cricket match in 1988 before a live nationwide TV audience of millions. He went on to make 122 and win Man Of The Match.

Random fact. The colour black is in fact not a colour at all, but the lack of colours. Colour is defined as the light we are able to percieve and are reflected back by objects, red objects reflect red light and so on. White object reflect all colours we can see, and black objects reflect no light, but instead absorbs it, hence, black is not a colour.
