7 things I did not know last week

A week on a calendar
  1. You can 'mute' conversations in Gmail so that they do not show in your inbox. Handy for stuff you want to keep for reference but do not need to read straight away.
  2. Volcanoes on low-temperature astronomical objects can have criomagma in the form of slushy ice.
  3. Apple seeds contain a cyanide compound which is released if the seeds are pulverised or chewed.
  4. You can install Leopard on a PC.
  5. Stoke-on-Trent has its own musical anthem. It is also planning to get a logo. Shouldn't that be called a coat of arms?
  6. You can make crystal clear ice cubes by using water that has been boiled twice.
  7. Roomba, the robotic vacuum cleaner I have been lusting over for a while does not fit under our living room couches. New couches it is then!
