    When you have a kidney transplant they usually leave your original kidney in place and put the new one in your pelvis leaving you with three kidneys ( one now at the front)...............this is actually true so not sure why i put it on this thread. Interesting none the less.

    People who greet each other with handshakes are much more likely to pass on germs such as flu, cold and stomach bugs, than those who settle for a peck on the cheek, a scientific study has concluded.

    More than three million Britons called in sick last week as flu and norovirus outbreaks swept through the country. The majority will have been infected after touching someone else's hands and might have been better off kissing friends and relatives instead.

    The word "queue" is the only word in the English language that is still pronounced the same way when the last four letters are removed.
