    Might have been. Marius was a famous family name in Rome. One of the Marius's was Caesar's mentor, he modernised Rome's army at the time. Hugely important in Rome becoming powerful. Fought against Sulla (who wanted to be lifetime dictator before Caesar).

    Except it isn't the English national anthem, is it?
    Time they played something English.
    Scotland has "Flower of Scotland"
    How about "Tommy Gun" by The Clash?

    Although Mount Everest is 9000ft higher, Mount Chimborazo, in Ecuador, is the furthest point on the globe from the centre of the Earth, due to the equatorial bulge.

    If you could travel with a constant acceleration of 1g it would take a year to reach light speed, and you would have travelled 4,500,000,000 km's. (although, theoretically it's only possible to reach 99.9999999% with an object of non zero mass)

    The healthiest way to heat food (that we currently know) is by doing it in a microwave.
