  3. I also knew Moby is related to Herman Melville. They should rename the list to “100 things _the BBC_ didn’t know last year.

  6. So many of these things are already well-known. The Bubonic plague thing, for example, made headline news around the globe a few years ago. If they’re going to run a column like this, you’d think they’d maybe do a little fact-checking on Google first.

  7. I knew about hiccuping while asleep because it happened to me several times. My husband freaked out the first time he saw me and didn’t know if he had to wake me up or not… he thought I was dying or something! :-D
