7 things I did not know last week

A week on a calendar
  1. Noise cancelling headphones that use active noise control work by recording outside sounds and creating an exactly opposite wave to the "noise" waves, which effectively cancels out all the ambient noise.
  2. The 13th root of a 200-digit number always begins with 2, always has 16 digits, and the last digit number is always the same as the final number of the 200-digit number.
  3. Capacitive touchscreens can be touched either with a bare finger or with a conductive device held by a bare hand.
  4. Some muscle worshippers spend thousands of pounds a year in expensive gifts and headscissors sessions with their favourite female bodybuilders.
  5. Will Baker (Kylie Minogue's artistic director and best friend) is a big Dr Who fan. Baker went to see the writer and producers to let them know that Kylie would be interested to guest-star.
  6. My teeth show evidence of grinding and I will have to wear a mouthguard when I sleep. Will it stop me snoring too?
  7. We have 80 Christmas cards left over from the past five years. We are sending 79. Send me your address if you want the spare one.
