The common cold only came into existence somewhere around 1890. It was possibly the cause of the ‘forgotten pandemic’ of  -92 where, fuelled by increasing levels of population mobility through rail and international travel, huge swathes of the population of Europe developed fever, sweats, coughs, etc. Although that’s not proven, measurements of genetic mutations of the virus have shown that it entered the human population around that time. |

That's not the kind of amazing fact to be sneezed at. |

Jeff Bezos's ex-wife, MacKenzie, has also benefited from Amazon's stellar performance.
She received 4% of the company when they split last year and is estimated by Bloomberg to now be worth $62bn (£48.7bn) - making her the world's 13th richest person.

This probably belongs in a 'mildly interesting facts' thread if there was one rather than it being amazing.
Many football teams around these parts have either a white rose or a red rose on their club badge. Only one team, however, has both, and it's neither a Yorkshire nor a Lancashire team. It's actually Barnet. This is a reference to the Battle of Barnet in 1471, when Yorkist forces battered the Lankies in a riot following the jousting play-off final. |

Just use skyscanner...it will lead you to the cheapest prices.....buy two singles if you are using budget airlines.....returns save nothing these days unless you using scheduled airlines. |
