Bit random this but I find these facts absolutely incredible and just goes to prove how totally insignificant planet earth is.

Inside the Milky Way are at least 100 billion planets and anywhere from 200-400 billion stars.

Travelling at the speed of light it would take you 120,000 years to go from one end to the other <yikes>
 
Semi-professional football club from Gibraltar, apparently.

They have won their title the last 15 seasons.....Sounds an exciting league!

Just read Roy Keane's take on the Payet tackle that ended Ronaldo's final. "It was not a foul, it was a great tackle, we're all just glad Portugal went on to win! We couldn't have stood any more tears!" <laugh>

I played a lot of football in Gib during three tours there. Population now around 30,000 and most pitches were clay, not grass, so tough tackling was a definite no-no. Only one grass pitch there then (1973, last time I played there).
