    Eh?

    DYK that President Elect referred to the person who won the election, but hadn't, yet, taken up office?

    Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia is the fear of long words

    If you were to spell out numbers, you would have to go until 1000 before you find the letter "A"
    One thousand

    111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321

She was the second oldest of six children by Charles Stewart Parnell FitzSimons and Marguerita Lilburn FitzSimons. Her father was a Dublin businessman and part owner of Shamrock Rovers Football Club, whom she has supported since childhood.

    Indeed he did. The ground and first floors were used as the floor model for the White House, while the house itself was used as a model for the original White House exterior.

    Another architecture related fact for you, did you know that the Irish Houses of Parliament, or as it is now known - the Bank of Ireland, on College Green, was the first purpose built two-chamber parliament building in the world.

    If you're in the penalty area and don't know what to do with the ball, put it in the net and we'll discuss the options later

    Did you know that Irelands all time record holder for International goals is actually Olivia O'Toole and not Robbie Keane.
    O'Toole has 53 International goals to her name whilst Keane stands at 45.

    Reminds me of a Sean Lock line: "Did you know, sharks will only attack you when you're wet. That's a fact that is."
