I just learnt today that Indonesia and the Principality of Monaco have identical flags ... at least they're both red and white and ones is fatter or shorter than the other.

I hope not.

The St.George flag is red and white (and he slays dragons). So watch out, no only joking.

Well, obviously none of you look at the flags of Indonesia and the Principality of Where-ever because their similarities are incredible, unlike the flags of the USA, Russia, England who all only have colour in common. Then again, it was a totally useless fact!!

There is a town in New Mexico called Truth or Consequences.

There is a hamlet called Tuba City on an Indian Reservation in Northern Arizona. When I first saw that place-name my mind did a double-take: Do they craft Tubas there?

Oh goodness Margaret - quite amusing I must say.

According to my friends at the Mauna Kea Observatory on the Big Island of Hawaii there are between 2*10^11 and 6*10^11 stars in our Galaxy called the Milky Way. A low-ball guesstimation by the pros as to the number of stars in the whole Universe is around 16*10^21 stars. Mind boggling in the extreme I'd say.......
