48. Margaret Roberts (later Thatcher) helped invent the chemical process that produces Mr Whippy ice cream.

60. The bookmakers William Hill loses 80,000 little pens a day - the sort used to fill out betting slips.

67. It's 30 years since the world's first barcode was used. It was on a 10-pack of Wrigley's Juicy Fruit at a supermarket in Ohio. The gum is now an exhibit in the Smithsonian Museum in Washington DC.

And most notably:

81 . When people are in love, weird things happen. Men get more female hormones, and women get more male. Scientist Donatella Marazziti says it's as if nature wants to eliminate what can be different in men and women, perhaps to help the mating process.
