Both of Canada's winners of the Miss Universe pageant graduated from the same high school (London Central Secondary School). (As did two of Ontario's Premiers.)

About the Fighting Camels. I wrote a post but seem to have dematerialised it. So I recycled it as a blog http://www.fetcheveryone.com/blog-view.php?id=5988&m=0&y=0#blog329020

Oh and ... (courtesy of Radcliffe and Maconie on Radio 6) ... Red, green and yellow peppers are all exactly the same vegetable - they are just at different stages of ripeness. Can't quite get my head round this but if it's on the radio then it must be true! |

[Red peppers start off green, but the yellow ones I have start yellow and stay that way. There are a lot of varieties out there though.]

All peppers start out green but they change colour as they mature. Different species mature at different times so some are green for a very short time and others are green for longer.
