The next Total Solar Eclipse over the UK like we saw in America recently will be on 23 September 2090. Sorry I can't get a time as to when it will happen. Over Cornwall it will be so get your hotel rooms booked now.

The longest word in the world is given to a chemical in the human body, it contains nearly 190,000 letters. I shit you not. Deep breath.......Methionylthreonyglutaminylarginyl......blah blah blah.....isoleucine. Would hate to be the doctor who has to write this in his notes on a patient.

An 'ultracrepidarian' is a word for someone who voices thoughts beyond their expertise. Or in short Toryphobia.
Miranda rights that are read out to anyone arrested ( you have the right to remain silent etc etc ) are named after a suspect in a rape case in the 1960's. Ernesto Miranda gave a confession without the presence of legal representation. He served a few years in prison only to be released when he won his appeal. He was eventually convicted of the attack though his confession could not be used. He was stabbed to death years later and Ironically the person who carried out the killing invoked his right to remain silent and fled the country when released on bail. He was never traced.
