<STRONG>Tuesday, September 15:</STRONG> Walt Disney was once told by his doctor that he was too stressed, and should find some way of relaxing. So he took up golf. Unfortunately, he became so obsessed with perfecting the game that he ended up getting up at 4.30am to play a round, making him more stressed than ever.

<STRONG>Monday, September 14:</STRONG> Sir Francis Galton - the polymathic scientist and, regrettably, eugenicist - spent a good deal of time trying to create a 'beauty map' of Britain, by surreptitiously making notes on his travels of whether the women he saw were 'attractive, indifferent, or repellent.' London ranked the prettiest; Aberdeen was the ugliest.

<STRONG>Friday, September 11:</STRONG> Humans have discovered or invented over 50 million different chemicals in history - that's according to the American Chemical Society's database of unique chemicals, which passed the 50 million threshold on Monday. Over the past year, a new substance has been uncovered or created every 2.6 seconds.
