Did you know that milk chocolate was invented by Daniel Peter, who sold the concept to his neighbour Henri Nestlé.

I'm in high school right now and I've never heard that before. Then again, the people I talk to are likely to make math puns involving approaching limits the right way (if you get that, congratulations!), or jokes like that one I posted in the Joke of the Day thread yesterday.

Getting back to the subject of this thread... did you know that a good programmer is someone who looks both ways before crossing a one-way street?

Nice one, Perplexus!
Did you know that Chopin didn't give any programmatic titles to his pieces? He always preferred to refer to them by opus and number; he thought that the idea of artificializing the music of a piece with a title was repulsive.
That's not to say, though, that programmatic titles can't reveal a lotofabout the music!

did you know...
that eating before swimming is really not harmful at all. The common misconception is that one should not eat before swimming. The only harm in this is that you will feel uncomfortable but it is not hazardous to your health.

The shortest scheduled flight in the world is one and a half miles long from Westray to Papa Westray in the Orkney Islands of Scotland. The journey takes 1 minute 14 seconds to complete.
