100 things we didn’t know last year
From the BBC Magazine Monitor …
Each week, the Magazine chronicles interesting and sometimes downright unexpected facts from the news, through its strand 10 things we didn’t know last week. Here, to round off the year, are some of the best from the past 12 months.

It’s my turn!
I’ve been sniffling and sneezing for the past two days and my eyeballs feel like they are way too big for their sockets…
I used to always get my ‘annual Christmas cold’ between Christmas and New Year, though for the last two years I haven’t had a cold at all. Guess it’s about time. And it’s actually not bad timing as it should be gone by Christmas Day.
Meanwhile, as I am not a man with a cold I won’t be stopping by with fifteen-minute updates. 😉

I want to find out what it looks, feels, and tastes like to commit to the ultimate in dietary trade-offs: a lifetime lived on the brink of starvation, in exchange for the promise of a life span longer than any human has known.
This article totally creeped me out. Imagine how totally obsessed, and ultimately uninteresting, one would have to become in order to maintain this sort of lifestyle.

Calling all Christmas orphans!
Or really, anyone who would like to stop by at casa az on Christmas day for a bit of a festive get together. Nog and I will be home all day and although we plan to be quite lazy and probably watch a film or two between eating & drinking to our heart’s content we’ll also have both the laptop and the PC on if people would like to pop in and say hello.
Either here or on IM or Skype … up to you. Not sure if I’ll want to use the webcam or not, especially if I stay in my pj’s and am not wearing a bra 😉 . But anyhow, if you’d like to get in touch by IM or Skype and don’t have our contact names just email me and I’ll send them to you.
