I've recently been unable to type up these nuggets of information on a daily basis, so here are some things I've learned over the last 5 days or so:

- The International Criminal Court in the Hague was only set up in 2002.

- In 2017, a survey estimated that on any given day 200,000 Brits turn up to work with a hangover.

- Casimir Pulaski, a Polish general who fought in the American Revolution, might have been intersex.

- North Korean TV is experimenting with becoming more modern.

- The F1 Grand Prix track at Silverstone is built on the site of an RAF Bomber Command base.

- Jabba the Hutt apparently had a son called Rotta the Huttlet.

- A myriad originally meant 10,000.

- New York City has an annual Tartan Week.
