  • Ship Inn Hotel? The original stables at the back of the hotel is still standing in Mackay, behind Comin’s on Sydney Street. It was built in 1872 – which makes it 152 years old. It’s been repurposed into a garage for a car park.
  • If you think that petrol lasts forever, like in the Mad Max movies, think again – it goes bad. But – it goes bad quicker than you think. Petrol only lasts for between 3 to 6 months, depending on the type you buy. Diesel lasts a little longer, but only a maximum of a year.
  • The Inventor Of Cruise Control Was A Blind Engineer Who Noticed His Driver's Speed Varied When He Talked 
  • Michelin Started Its Restaurant Ratings To Try To Sell More Tires. The French tire maker began printing travel guides for motorists to help them stay on the road - and thus keep using tires. The guides eventually categorized hotels and restaurants, especially ones that were so good, they were worth the journey.
  • Beethoven – one of the greatest composers in history. After he went deaf, he had to find a way to keep doing what he did. he rigged up a metal rod to his piano and bite down on it while he played, enabling him to hear perfectly through vibrations in his jawbone. The process is called bone conduction, which you can now get in your sunglasses to hear music and take phone calls.
