If you look through his album there are many wows there, taken with a 5, not a 3.
Thank you It's easy when you just have to lift the camera and push the shutter button. And indeed taken with a 5 - and with the kit lens. Had this been a photography related thread that would induce a certain measure of shock, I know. Luckily it isn't so it won't

Reminds me - I'm hungry.

And number 10?

10 – Canada: 6.5 kg per capita
Canada stands out as the only non-European country to make the list of the world's top ten coffee producers.
Producers?

Quite a feat considering coffee doesn’t grow anywhere outside of about 23 degrees North or South of the Equator.

Perhaps you meant to say Canada is one of the top ten consumers of coffee.

Useless fact:

It takes 37 gallons of water to produce enough coffee beans to brew one cup of coffee.

Thankfully water transpires back into the air from plants, so I don't feel guilty.

And if I may say, that's 37 gallons of water used wisely. I'm a stickler for keeping myself clean and odour-free, but if I had to give up a few showers here and there to ensure continued production of my favourite coffee, I could live with that. The opposite would be a living hell...

Let's leave sleeping dogs lie when it comes to total water consumption needed for a pound of bacon.

Did that pig eat the can too?

Probably makes the bacon taste metallic.
