- Saint Patrick is the patron of Nigeria, engineers and excluded people, as well as Ireland.
- Michel Thomas, language teacher to many stars (he speed-taught Grace Kelly French when she was due to marry Prince Rainier), died in January 2005.
- You can play football on artificial turf. In the 80s it caused many injuries, but recent technical developments mean it's virtually indistinguishable from real lawn. And you can embed optic fibre into it to display ads!

- Unwanted newborns can be left anonymously in baby hatches. But sometimes fully grown drunk men fall into these emergency incubators too.
- Scarlett Johansson is recording (has by now completed recording?) Scarlett sings Tom Waits.
- AIR have released their fourth full-length studio album on 5 March. It's called Pocket Symphony and it is one of the most elegantly layered, deep and mature compositions I have heard lately. An instant new favourite. You can listen to short extracts from all tracks on the Pocket Symphony website or watch the video for Once Upon A Time on YouTube.
