- jedi55555, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I dugg it but not exactly the type of article I thought it would be. There were many of these things I already knew and the title makes it seem like that these would be brand new discoveries, not trivia.

Not according to the Wikipedia, the UK version was licensed from Parker Brothers and changed from the US version to be more appealing to brits.

Until then it wanted to be pacifist. So, yes, thank you for you self-preservation (sarcasm, i know how you yanks don't get these tiny intonations)"
We only got bombed in pearl harbor because we were blockading the shipments to Japan, with Japan's small size and high population they were doomed, they HAD to retaliate against us or thier people would die. Why did America blockade Japan? Because, Japan was allied with Germany and attacking China. America (the govt.) wanted to goto war but it needed a way to justify it to the populace. - nymphetamine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"5. Nicole Kidman is scared of butterflies."

- LedZep95, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I read all 100, and some are real shockers. *in a sarcastic tone*I'm not at all surprised that Bill Gates doesn't own an iPod.
DiggTotal ++; - Anarkast, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0SweetGreen - WD-40 has been used by café owners her in Denmark for years - they just wash down all the flat surfaces with WD-40 so that if anyone tries to put cocaine or any other powdered drug directly on the surface it crystallizes immediately. This is an old trick.

I lauged at the fact that Bill Gates didn't have an iPod #94. - ewingsquadron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+045. C3PO and R2D2 do not speak to each other off-camera because the actors don't get on.
Um, what? - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"7. Baboons can tell the difference between English and French. Zoo keepers at Port Lympne wild animal park in Kent are having to learn French to communicate with the baboons which had been transferred from Paris zoo."
or it could be that they are trained to recognize certain words in French, and the same word is pronounced differently in English. not exactly recognizing difference between English and French, but recognizing their trainer is using a new word that they were not trained to recognize. - Tonyisbad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0100.

- ultimate_ed, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I like smarties.
I'd only give it half a DIGG as virtually none of that is really new knowledge discovered this year like the title implies.
But, you round up from a half, so a digg it gets. - HiddenS3crets, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Bill Gates doesn't have an iPod"
=D - nstrupp2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Monopoly is not from the UK. It was invented in the US in the early 1900's. Most places have localized the street names.

I'm over my limit by April every year. Damn. - CZzyzx41, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0By the way, as if it really matters but apparently I've heard of mix ups being made with this. Smarties in Britain are not like the Smarties in America. In Britain I believe they slightly resemble OUR Smartie shape but they're more like plain M&Ms. Candy coated chocolate instead of the vitamin tasting crap we have.
