I found this site while looking for the origins of the 'penny size' of nails. Then I spent an hour reading up on all sorts of interesting things... Don't click on the link unless you have time on your hands. You have been warned.

It's like telling someone not to touch wet paint. Too bad I don't have photographic memory, this much info is irresistible. Or I could just spend time on Facebook and have a blank mind.
I looked at how many acres there are in Great Britain, shook my head, then quit reading.
Probably a good choice. I started reading about acres... fascinating history, but time consuming and not of much use.
