I’m going to be picky and suggest that was quite easy. A trickier Kate Bush question might be which song of hers was inspired by Houdini’s wife?

Cats step with both left legs, then both right legs when they walk or run. This method is called a pacing gait.
The only other animals to do this are Camels and Giraffes.

In the U.S.A, a reward of $1000 was offered for information leading to the capture and conviction of a man robbing taxi drivers.
The man turned himself in and demanded the reward as a result. He received a 20-year sentence for aggravated armed robbery instead.

That’s not Fare!

Fools abound everywhere.

The correct response to the Irish greeting ā€œTop of the morning to youā€ is ā€œAnd the rest of the day to yourselfā€

The giant squid is the largest creature without a backbone. It weighs up to 2.5 tons and grows up to 55 feet long.
Each eye is a foot or more in diameter.

Butterflies taste with their feet.

The crocodile is surprisingly fast on land. If pursued by a crocodile, a person should run in a zigzag motion, for the crocodile has little or no ability to make sudden changes in direction.

The digestive juices of crocodiles contain so much hydrochloric acid that they have dissolved iron spearheads and six-inch steel hooks.

A crocodile really does produce tears, but they are not due to sadness. The tears are glandular secretions that work to expel excess salt from the eyes. Hence, Crocodile tears are false tears.

Humans shed and regrow outer skin cells about every 27 days - the equivalent of almost 1000 new skins in a lifetime.

There are 72 kms - 45 miles - of nerves in the skin of a human being.

The average human body contains enough iron to make a six-inch nail, sulfur to kill all the fleas on an average dog, carbon to make 900 pencils, fat to make seven bars of soap, phosphorus to make 2,200 match heads and water to fill a 38 litre - 10-gallon drum.

The average person falls asleep in seven minutes and is an inch taller come morning time.

Its alright having all that Carbon for a pencil, what about the Lead :laughing:
