When we changed the clocks a couple of weeks ago, did you stay up to experience the excitement? Did you know that folding chairs go all the way back to 2000 BC? Can you shout fire without using an exclamation mark?

You may be a candidate for the Dull Men’s Club. Your should visit their Website, but men only, please - there’s a feeling that women just can’t achieve the necessary level of attention to mind-numbing detail. Go ahead, pay it a visit. I’d say it’s interesting, but that would be an insult which the Dull Men just don’t deserve. Here is Sara Ledwith’s story:

Wow! That’s right! I am VERY impressed! But you still didn’t say whether it turns clockwise or counter-clockwise….

Do airport carousels go clockwise in the Southern hemisphere?
