Post interesting facts and trivia you've read or heard here. I'm bored and have nothing better to do.

You would get more exposure to radiation by eating a banana than living next to a nuclear power station.

Graphite is carbon, topazdragon is correct, lead is still used as a term to mean the substance used for marking in a pencil, which would be graphine, which is made of carbon.

Friction isn't what causes the red glow as a spaceship re-enters earth's atmosphere. It's the air in front of the ship being compressed and heated up, turning into plasma.

Sorry for double post (I'm still a new scratcher even though I have lots of experience) but here:

Or:
31 OCT = 25 DEC
