I know that many of you would have been disappointed after missing out on some fun facts last week due to my illness, so this week I am treating you to not one but two facts to blow your mind and expand on that randomly pointless knowledge that the world has to offer.

My first fact this week is in regards to the illnesses that are floating around at the moment.

Did you know that at the North Pole, you cannot catch a cold in Winter? you could also not contract the flu, or most other viruses and germs because the temperature is so low that none of the standard Micro-organisms can survive.

And the second fact is something that I read recently and don’t really want to believe but, did you know that banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour? Even if bangng your head repeatedly against a wall did use up 150 calories, I don’t think you would be in any state to enjoy the benefits, so please don’t use this as an excuse to ignore the warnings about a loss of brain cells being caused by such activities.
