It's False - The rate of acceleration of a jumping flea is actually 20 times greater than the space shuttle during launch.

It's True - In November budding testicle chefs gathered in Savinac, Serbia, to see who could cook the tastiest dish out of bull's and boar's testicles. Next year the competition will include an 'exotic' category in which chefs will have to knock up nosh from ostrich and camel privates…

It's True - The lion's mane, our largest known jellyfish, can reach 8 feet across and produce tentacles 200 feet long.

It's True - Given their huge size it's probably just as well !

It's False - You'd actually need to scream for 8 and a half years to produce enough energy to heat up a cup of coffee.

It's True - The 65 metre wingspan of a Boeing 747 is almost twice the length of the Wright Brother's first successful flight in 1903 which achieved a flight time of 12 seconds and covered 37 metres !

It's False - It's actually much faster - 80 times per second. They're also the only birds to be able to fly in any direction, including backwards.

It's False - Not quite, that's the amount you'd burn up on a stiff jog, but vacuuming and household chores do consume a lot of energy - dusting and polishing uses about 150 calories an hour and shoving the Hoover round uses up 210.

It's True - The Logitech io contains real ink and writes normally but also reads what you write and stores up to 40 pages in memory which can be transferred to a computer where software converts it into computer-readable text. Not guaranteed for doctors use though !

It's True - Harold Craighead and Dustin Carr from Cornell University, New York, produced the world's smallest Fender Stratocaster in 1997. It has 6 strings about 100 nanometres, or 50 atoms, wide and at 10 micrometres long would fit inside one of our body's cells.

It's False - The telescope, which was launched in 1990, is actually orbiting about 375 miles above the Earth. As well as helping us to discover 100 new planets and understand a bit more about the expansion of the universe and the birth and death of stars, it's also the first satellite designed to be 'serviced' - on several occasions space-walking astronauts have replaced worn out or outdated parts, including correcting a fault with the main mirror.

It's True - Thompson Holidays has installed a system that offers would-be tourists the sights and smells of Egypt including the spices in the market and the musty aroma of a pharoah's tomb. Thompson says the new service allows customers to 'try before they buy'.
