Useless Information

[Spoonboy]

Hello Abers one and all. Do you have any useless information you'd like to add here? Like, did you know a cockroach's brain is located inside its body, and if it loses its head it can live up to nine days?

I will come back in a few days time, I may even give a PSA: have fun one and all, and many thanks in advance.

Dodi El Fayed (sp) was an executive producer on the film Chariots of Fire. I heard this in a quiz. I've tried to find out if this is true but to no avail. No one in the quiz got the right answer, that's why I researched it.

Fayed was the executive producer of the films Chariots of Fire, Breaking Glass, F/X, F/X2, Hook, and The Scarlet Letter.

I knew he'd produced FX and FX/2, but didn't know about the others.

Thanks Craft. I and everyone else who took part in the quiz doubted the answer. It is now put to rest.
