7 things I did not know last week

A week on a calendar
  1. Ron Grainer (Doctor Who theme tune composer) also wrote the Tales of the Unexpected theme (via Mike)
  2. Eating dirt is good for you.
  3. A Dirty Sanchez is a sexual act.
  4. New design UK coins are already in circulation (via Diamond Geezer). I have not used cash since I stopped drinking coffee, so I am not surprised I had not noticed.
  5. Fructose makes your body convert sugars into body fat, while other sugars don't.
  6. Sport stacking (also known as speed stacking) involves stacking and unstacking cups very fast in a pre-determined pattern.
  7. People working on the MP3 format did all their tests using the Suzanne Vega song 'Tom's Diner' (via Kottke).
