Friday Factday 🤓
If you took out all your veins and laid them end to end, you would die.

Your turn.

In the words of Dorothy Parker: If all the girls who attended the Yale prom were laid end to end, I wouldn't be a bit surprized.

Or (quoting from memory), as a character in Tom Stoppard's The Real Thing observes about the effect of the early death of Buddy Holly, "If Beethoven had been killed in a 'plane crash when he was 22 years old, the history of music would have been very different...as would the history of aviation...."

For those of you, like me, who have fallen into a few bad habits during lockdown, a plea in a letter sent to the Irish Times by a reader, "For God's sake, open the pubs again before we all become alcoholics."

A factoid was originally a short fact BUT was actually incorrect (this isn't a joke, they really were)

So by calling what we call a factoid a factoid you are wrong. Which makes the calling it a factoid the actual factoid.
