<p>
An estimated 162,719 pints are lost in total a year by drinkers with moustaches, meaning if every one of the 1.8 million men in the UK today with facial hair drank a pint of Guinness, the total loss in just one sitting would be 17,684 pints.

<p>
In captivity, ravens can learn to talk better than some parrots. They also mimic other noises, like car engines, toilets flushing, and animal and birdcalls. Ravens have been known to imitate wolves or foxes to attract them to carcasses that the raven isn't capable of breaking open.</p>
<h4><p>31. Melbourne gave some of its trees email addresses so residents could report problems. Instead, the trees received love letters</p></h4>

<p>
The idea was residents could use these emails to report trees that had been vandalised or were in a severe state of decline. Only, people decided to make another use for the email and began writing love letters to their favourite trees.</p>
<h4><p>32. In Japan, letting a sumo wrestler make your baby cry is considered good luck</p></h4>

<p>
No doubt that the act is done for the good of the child to follow the old tradition. Let me elaborate further on this story and get some details on the Japanese tradition. The tradition is 400 years old, and it is believed that if a baby cries in the wrestler's hands, then it will bring good health and fortune to the child.</p>
