All of the platinum that has been mined, would only fill an Olympic swimming pool up to your ankles if melted. (Give or take as not all ankles are the same height)

I'd image the size and shape of ankles would be quite variable in a 1,768 °C paddling pool. 🙂

Earwax contains a complex community of microorganisms that is individual to the ear that produced it. This can be used to identify an individual from a trace sample of their earwax, much in the same way as a fingerprint.

Introducing the earwax of another individual to your own ears creates a completely new bacterial signature, so criminals will routinely share cotton wool buds to prevent their earwax from being used to identify them. It is for this reason that earwax profiling has never been used as extensively as fingerprinting by the police service.

The QWERTY keyboard layout was invented when Reginald D. Troutman suffered a mishap whilst playing extreme scrabble. This is a version of scrabble wherein the participants get high on glue whilst playing. Reginald famously collapsed at the 1963 ES world championships from being higher than shit, knocking over his tiles whilst simultaneously spilling his glue.

The rest, as they say, is history!
