More snooker facts
The great voice of snooker Ted Lowe wasn't related to the actor Arthur Lowe(Captain Mainwaring-Dad's Army)
A female streaker once disrupted a game with Ronnie O'Sullivan-got a bigger cheer than him!
Steve Davis once hosted an Olympics quiz show on Channel 4
Jimmy White & Ray Reardon advertised products in commercials for Trebor Soft Mints and Tuborg Gold beer.
Bill Werbenuik the rather large Canadian player had to have a few pints of beer as he had a medical condition.
Former player John Virgo used to provide mid-session entertainment by doing impressions of some of the players like Ray Reardon, Alex 'Hurricane' Higgins and Dennis Taylor(with outsized glasses) He also co-hosted the snooker game show 'Big Break' with comedian Jim Davidson.
The original BBC Snooker signature tune(also used for Pot Black) was played by pianist Winifred Atwill, later it was updated by the Douglas Wood Group as a more pop-style tune.
A snooker tune 'Snooker Loopy' made the charts and was sung by Chas and Dave and the Matchroom Mob(this was made up of Steve Davis, Tony Meo, Dennis Taylor, Terry Griffiths, Willie Thorne)

More is known about he moons surface than the depths of the ocean. In fact, 12 people have stepped on the moon, but only 3 have been to 'The Mariana Trench', the deepest part of the ocean at roughly 7 miles deep, tho more recently film director James Cameron completed a record breaking solo attempt to reach the bottom of The Mariana Trench. (There have been rumours of some of the Avatar sequels involving underwater action).
The fingerprints of a Koala are so indistinguishable from humans that they have on occasion been confused at a crime scene.
A snail can sleep for 3 years.
The Rolling Stones would never have been formed if Keith Richards and Mick Jagger hadn't accidentally met at a train station in 1961. Richards struck up a conversation with Jagger about the blues records he was carrying. The connection was instant and the rest is history.
Alien's androids are alphabetized - While the Alien franchise swaps different androids for (almost) every instalment, there is an interesting consistency to them. They go in alphabetical order. Ash, Bishop, Call and most recently David (played by Michael Fassbender in Prometheus and Alien Covenant).

Patrick Cotter(19th January 1760-8th September 1806)or Patrick Cotter O'Brien as he was later known is the tallest Irishman of all time at a verified 8ft 1inches.He was also the first of only seven people to medically confirmed at over 8ft tall.

One football team(forgive me I forget which) once had two back players - one was Lennon and the other McCartney.
Everyone believes that the John Montagu, the Earl of Sandwich was the person that invented that comestible but evidence suggests the very first one was by a rabbi called Hillel the Elder, born in Babylon and the filling was lamb, horseradish and chutney made of chopped nuts, apples and spices marinated in wine. A variant of that is eaten by Jews during the Passover ceremony-(which having had it for years I had no idea this was where it originated) My Dad makes it with chopped nuts, red wine and apple and that is considered the bitter herbs-but it is actually sweet.

The oldest condoms ever found date back to the 1640s (they were found in a cesspit at Dudley Castle), and were made from animal and fish intestines.

The loneliest creature on Earth is a whale who has been calling out for a mate for over two decades — but whose high-pitched voice is so different to other whales that they never respond.
That sort of reminds me of me
