March 17, 1973 Pink Floyd's "Dark side of the Moon" first hit the billboard Top 200 chart at #95. A mere 14 years later it finally leaves the top 200 for the first time, setting a still-unbroken world record. (you have a long way to go, Adele)
False Fact:
St. Patrick was Irish
The patron saint of Ireland was actually born in Scotland in the late 4th century. When he was a teenager, Palludius (his real name) was kidnapped and sold into slavery in Ireland. Six years later, he escaped and went back to Scotland, where he joined a monastery. As an adult, Palludius returned to Ireland as a missionary, where he lived for 40 years, dying in A.D. 461.
In Switzerland it is illegal to own just one guinea pig. This is because they're social animals, and are considered victims of abuse if they are alone.
Travel Tips
As George Bernard Shaw said "I dislike feeling at home when I'm abroad." Do things outside of your comfort zone.
You won't regret it - probably.
Board Last
You'll be sitting in that small chair for hours, so walk around; go to the big bathroom.
Wait until no one's in line and then go in.
Much better.
All other factors being equal, fly on a Boeing 767.
These aircraft have fewer of the dreaded middle seats because the economy rows are in a 2-3-2 configuration, not 3-3.
