Stuff we learned this year by BBC

The BBC has an interesting story about 100 things we learned this year including:

• The lion costume from the film The Wizard of Oz was made from real lions.
• The Pope sometimes wears Prada shoes.
• Coco Chanel started the trend of getting suntans in 1923 when she accidentally got burned on a cruise.
• A cow gives off enough methane gas in a day to fill 400 liter bottles (no more complaints about me!)
• A polar bear would beat a lion in a fight (this sounds like the sort of research done at Moe's bar on the Simpsons)

Either way, a fun list is here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/magazinemonitor/index.html#a007948
