10 Simple Facts I have learned during the last weekend
(P.S. I had ‘11 Simple Facts’ but I thought rounding will be better)
- Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people do (this is nice)
- My Google trends experiment failed miserably (‘pritney spears scrum’ doesn’t count ;-)
- The electric chair was invented by a dentist (I knew it)
- 7 out of 10 IT projects “fail” in some respect (3 out of 10 is enough?)
- I run 2 km in 10 minutes (*2 world record)
- Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia is the fear of long words (Ironic?)
- All of the clocks in the movie “Pulp Fiction” are stuck on 4:20 (…)
- In a study of 200,000 ostriches, over a period of 80 years, no one reported a single case where an ostrich buried its head in the sand…
- I tried to contribute to wikipedia during the weekend and my contributions were removed automatically by the Wikipedia bot (/admins) due to spam, self promotion and notability violations??? (a.k.a. ‘criteria for speedy deletion’)
- In Chinese the words for crisis and opportunity are the same (Wikipedia, “I’ll be baaaack!”)

C’mon, give us the 11th. Do you suffer entekatophobia?
There is actually a greek blog that posts lists of eleven items. (http://enteka.blogspot.com). You can steal the idea! You didn’t hear it from us.
