Pendant alert - I believe they were the oldest outfield pair, I think it is Van Der Sar who set up somebody else who are the oldest pair

Edwin Van Der Sar is the oldest player credited with an assist (40 yrs 95 days), according to the PL website he only has the one assist.

It was Feb 1st 2011 against Aston Villa and Wayne Rooney scored. Rooney would have been 25 yrs 100 days when the goal was scored leaving the pair a few combined years younger than Bruno and Murray.

It takes 7600 litres of water (which can't be reused) to make ONE pair of jeans.

Guessing that it's similar to the habit that some Dutch companies have of paying staff a '13th month'. Basically they hold back part of your salary as 'holiday pay' and give it to you in a lump sum because they don't trust you to save up for your own holidays...

Think it’s a similar concept. They just pay you 14 times a year, so you get double pay effectively in July and December. Just means they get less throughout the rest of the year, but it must feel like getting a bonus. My old job was paid every 4 weeks so getting paid twice in one month always felt pretty good!

I get paid every 2 weeks, so 26 times a year. I love the two 'bonus' months where I get paid three times. January is the next one :thumbsup:

and more atoms in a single grain of sand than stars in the sky

Why cant it be re-used ? Surly after being cleaned and processed like most other waist water its good to go ?

All water is reused isn't it. It will end up back in the water cycle somewhere.

There is a finite number of ways that matter can be arranged, so if the universe is infinite then there is another you out there somewhere.

You can only fold one piece of paper in half seven times, no matter how big it is to start with.

The combined weight of all the ANTS on the planet exceeds the combined weight of all the humans on the planet apparently..

Are you sure? They are pretty small.
