If you remember this discussion from several years ago...

Traditionally eaten at Christmas in the UK, Mince Pies contain no meat. While the spicy dried fruit filling is called mincemeat, commercially produced pies have 0% meat content. However, as the name implies, originally chunks or minced cuts of lamb, or other meats, and the ingredients were based on Arab foods and spices brought back to Britain by 13th Century Crusaders.

During the English Civil War, to the Puritan authorities, the mince pie was seen as being associated the Catholic Idolatry, and subsequently it was illegal to eat them.

Your "wingspan" (fingertip to fingertip across your shoulders) is the same as your height.

Your foot is as long as the distance along your forearm from your wrist to your inner elbow.

On average, women say 7,000 words per day. Men, just over 2000. :-)

In 1963, baseball pitcher Gaylord Perry said, "They'll put a man on the moon before I hit a home run." On July 20, 1969, a few hours after Apollo 11 landed on the moon, Gaylord Perry hit his first home run.
