I thought it would be fun to have a thread like this. Instead of just, where you live, how old you are, etc...try and list a few funny/random/surprising things about yourself, some things to make us have a giggle I'll start off!

1) I think I could live off on pasta if I had to
2) I think badgers are awesome
3) I can't imagine not living in the UK
4) I love stationery
5) I broke my hand when a house number sign fell onto it off of a bookshelf - it was one of those ones with a 3D border collie face on it, the dog's nose hit my hand, then a massive thick book fell onto it after.

    I started flying before I could drive and got my Pilots license when I was 16

    I will puke if you try to feed me peas or brussel sprouts

    I graduated high school when I was 15

    No matter how hard I try to wrap my head around it, I don't understand how you buy commodities. Where is the corn or silver and
    who decided it was a good idea take money from one person and tell them they were investing in a barrel of oil or what not? Why do you buy stock in somethink you cannot ever have? When money becomes worthless, you cant just up and get your silver from the bank who supposedly has it now can you?

    I would love to be the brain behind a ponzi scheme, then when it played out, give everyone their money back. It seems like a huge game. I think our government is playing one :-)

    If you open just one back window while I'm driving, the whomping sound from the air pressure makes me so nauseous and dizzy I can't drive

    I've broken all 10 fingers (at different times)

    I can blow near-perfect smoke rings, though I don't smoke cigarettes or pot so I rarely get the chance to (hookah)

    I'm fascinated with supercars, and just obsessed with the Mercedes-McLaren SLR 500

    I rarely cry, but at the end of pretty much every international sporting event, I just can't help it. I'll watch the world championships of pretty much any sport and get very emotionally attached to it.
