The strangest sports - where they are played, who by and how ·       
Quirky fashions - the oddest clothing fashions from history and today ·       
Fact or fiction? Collect 3 or 5 interesting true stories to retell that superficially appear unbelievable. ·       
Trivia - examples. Why does it fascinate? ·       
Urban myths - what are they, examples, how are they spread and why are they believed? ·      
Why do records like the largest man in the world, the longest fingernails, or the greatest number of pies eaten in an hour fascinate people? How many other people share your name? Where are they in the world and what do they do?
