Dvorak Mar 2022 12:26pm, 17 Mar 2022 25,010 posts	0 Dvorak There exists a machine which will print your face on top of a pint of Guinness. (Just seen on This Morning, but apparently (from searching) going back at least four years.) guinness-storehouse.com Pic: i2-prod.edinburghlive.co.uk
Raemond Mar 2022 12:56pm, 17 Mar 2022 9,101 posts	0 Raemond I had a tongue stud, before I turned 21, but after I had to take it out for an operation I didn't put it back in for a few days and the hole closed up I regularly think about getting it repierced, but haven't gotten around to it yet. I may be more squeamish now than when I was 18.
Groundhog Mar 2022 2:17pm, 17 Mar 2022 4,131 posts	0 Groundhog That an asteroid discovered on Friday March 11th was actually only 2 hours away from hitting the earth. It landed between Greenland and Iceland and was about 3m across when it entered the atmosphere. Rather unhelpfully the Daily Mail described its size as being 'half a giraffe'. While an adult male giraffe could be around 5 to 6m tall including its horns, it's still an odd descriptor. However, it did lead to another fact which I did not know before, which is that a giraffe's horns are called ossicones.
