Was it the discovery of coffee by kaldi an Ethiopian goatherder who noticed his goats were a bit frisky after eating certain berries.. So he took them to a local sufi temple?

It was indeed Yorkie. He took the beans to the Sufi and he was initially not impressed and so threw them in the fire - upon noticing the fragrance they scrambled them out again and tried to dissolve them in water - thus creating the first cup of coffee (nearly). Or at least so is the legend - all this happened around 850 AD when the difference between legend and fact was more fluid. Nice story anyway - I would have loved to have seen the goats ! Over to you.

'Tardigrades - often called water bears - are creatures under a millimetre long that can survive being heated to 150C and frozen to almost absolute zero'

Yep. Over to you.
 
Monty Panesar said he was from Bedford, rather than Luton, but that can’t be unique enough for a pub quiz question. Surely? ;)
