I'm 31. I left home right before I turned 14 and haven't been back since. I really am a ship's captain and I make my living mostly doing marine salvage, which is basically finding wrecked or abandoned vessels and taking anything that's worth money off and selling it. I've found some pretty stunning sh*t out there. Let me think, what else? I'm 6'7 and I wear a size 15 or 16 shoe. Most people think that's fairly strange. I can't really think of much else that wouldn't bore you, tho.

The foreskins of babys circumsised in hospitals are used to treat people with burns. The human brain is 98% fat. The majority of American models are skinnier than 98% of American women.

Roger Williamson, F1 driver, did not die in the fiery crash of his car in 1973 due to burns (suit was flame-resistant), but because his throttle was stuck wide open and he inhaled the hot vapors.

A very, very sad story, considering the fire marshals and other drivers, had they had the foresight to help David Purley in his attempts to put out the flames and turn Roger's car over, may have been able to save Roger. He was only 25 years old.

Interestingly enough, one of the drivers David Purley tried to flag down was Francois Cevert, who did not stop, but continued in the race----and Cevert died less than 3 months later when he wrecked his car.
