2. Liz Taylor has broken her back five times.
3. Lake Baikal in Russia holds about a fifth of the world's fresh water.
4. The blank stickers for visa stamps are called vignettes .
5. Dyslexics can find it particularly difficult to learn the piano.
6. Van Gogh often reused canvasses to save money.
7. Seals can navigate from the position of stars.
8. Mick Jagger's officially a pensioner.
9. Being single in middle age can increase your risk of dementia.
