Most car horns honk in the key of 'F'.

6% of men propose over the telephone (I wonder how many propose via fax?)

You're subject to fines and/or imprisonment for making uglyfaces at dogs in Oklahoma.  Beware.

It's illegal in Alabama to wear a fake moustache that causes laughter in church.

A frog can't empty its stomach by vomitting. To empty its stomach contents, a frog throws up it's stomach first, so the stomach is dangling out of it's mouth. Then the frog uses its forearms to dig out all of the stomach's contents and then swallows the stomach back down again.

During lunch breaks in Carlsbad, New Mexico no couple should engage in a sexual act while parked in their vehicle, unless their car has curtains.

For every 'normal' webpage, there are five porn pages.  This website is neither.

Also, I can lick elbows...just, er, not my own.

I've been playing the violin for 13 years; not exactly the most 'rock friendly' instrument out there despite what the likes of Sugizo can do with it.

I also have a guitar (which I can't play), although having only four strings on it doesn't exactly help my cause.

The mandolin is another instrument I one day hope to play.

Muse are my favourite band.  Personal highlights include Invincible, Thoughts of a Dying Atheist, Micro Cuts, Citizen Erased, Escape, I Belong to You, Eternally Missed and Glorious.

They arguably make a louder and more bombastic sound than any other three-piece band in the world.

My favourite has always been Pata.  I just think he's a really cool guy, and his solo work is excellent.

Having said that though, I think Heath's solo efforts are the best (especially his first self-titled release).

Also really like Toshi, and being a Luna Sea fan (and a violinist) I'm delighted to see Sugizo in the new line-up.
