The Land of Nod(where kiddies are said to go to when asleep) is mentioned in the Bible.

^ Genesis 4 : 16
...and Cain went out from the presence of the Lord,and dwelt in the land of Nod,on the east of Eden.

I'm more an Izekiel 25-17 kinda girl.... lol.
Though I thought Gen 4-16 was the one about Noah?
RE: Fascinating Facts and Trivia - rpj316 - 08-02-2019 12:29
Noah is in the book of Gen but I think he's first mentioned in 5 : 32(depending on which translation you read).

What is Izekiel 25-17?
Snow facts:(as it's Winter)
100 tonnes per square metre: the pressure that can be reached in the middle of an avalanche-equivalent to the weight of 50 cars on a manhole cover.
1 million billion snowflakes fall on the planet every single second.
The deadliest blizzard ever was in Iran in 1972 - it killed at least 4,000 people.
The most snow ever to fall in one day was at Capracotta, a small town in Italy, on 10th March, 2015 - 100 inches(8ft 4in)

From Pulp Fiction.
''The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the
Inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men
Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will
shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness
for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children
And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious
Anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers
And you will know
My name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee''

More QI eye-openers
The world's fastest elevator travels at 47 mph.
The Oval Office has pressure pads under the carpet so the Secret Service knows exactly where the President is at all times.
The 400 men who carved the presidents on Mount Rushmore had their own baseball team.
There's a hidden room in Mount Rushmore behind Lincoln's head (pah! that's nothing Wayne Manor has a bust of Shakespeare with a hidden button that opens a bookcase to reveal poles leading to a Bat-cave!

Remember the great British song & dance entertainer Frankie Vaughn ("give me the moonlight, give the girl and leave the rest to me") very big in the 70's and 80's, well his real name was Francis Abelson and his son went to my synagogue. We never actually saw Frankie though.
One of the stars of the 70's comedy series 'Mind Your Language' I can't remember his name at the moment but his daughter went to my old school as did the present House of Commons 'Mr Speaker', John Bercow.
Another thing about my old school, now long since defunct, was that pupils from it were filmed coming up the school path and across the field for the Channel Four comedy 'Father's Day Blues starring John Alderton in the 1980's - the child co-stars that played his kids were making too much noise one day below in the library(above our quiet room) so we complained and got them thrown out!

Ever watch old episodes of The Avengers(even re-runs on satellite) with Diana Rigg and Patrick Macnee? Well her character name was Mrs Peel, or Emma Peel which, if you shorten it becomes M Appeal-the M standing for MAN-this apparently was why she was called that name and she certainly did that. I also think that she got that job thanks to playing Tracey in the James Bond film, 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service'.
