In an hour of reading a book the eyes make nearly 10,000 coordinated movements. Making the eye muscles responsible for these movements some of the most fatigue-resistant muscles in the human body (but nevertheless there is a limit on the stamina of your eyes, so don't leave too much cramming for exams until too late, because it may be the equivalent of doing push ups all day, impossible)

Also, we have a potential 3 billion heartbeats to enjoy the universe with.

Needed a battery terminal connector for the car.
Now, despite being a wonky American import, I know that Vauxhall use the same batteries on one of their modern runarounds.
So, off to Vauxhall.
Vauxhall can't help.

But a bloke in a lock up, down an alley way in the arse end of town who fixes motorbikes can have a rummage in his piles of oddments and turn up the correct UNC threaded bolt of more or less the right length.
So there you have it - you can keep your highstreet car parts suppliers. Look for the bloke with the garage full of sh!t. Sorry, I meant projects waiting attention.

The inventor of the rotary engie, Felix Wankel, was kicked out of the Nazi party twice, for being too radical.

Wow, that's pretty nuts. Reminds me of a friend back home who got kicked out of the French Foreign Legion for being "too rough"...
