Did you know there is no proper name for the back of the knees?(Reg Smeeton)(in memoriam Vivian Stanshall and John Peel)
Did you know there is a species of Japanese bees that defend themselves against intruding wasps by laying on them and vibrating?This increases the temperature locally to a point that's too much to handle for the wasp, but just not high enough for the bees themselves
Did you know it's impossible to guarantee that an asynchronous binary input to a synchronous system will always be interpreted as either a "one" or a "zero".(Think about it the next time you get on a fly-by-wire aircraft.) []

[]Could you explain please?I find it hard to imagine how the data value could be other than 1 or 0 - albeit wrong - when the circuitry is bi-state.
