No, they definitely aren't gneiss at all. Unlike gneiss, which is gneiss, even though it was either completely igneous or a bit sedimentary beforehand.

Another gneiss fact: The oldest known crustal rocks in the world is the Acasta gneiss outcrop in Canada's Northwest Territories which is in the region of four billion years old.

Fact: England has the most well used suicide spot in the world, even overtaking the Golden Gate Bridge - Beachy Head, in Eastbourne on the south coast.
Nice to know we win at something.

Incidentally, that area is said to be haunted, with a ghostly force said to 'make people jump'.
Creepy!
I'd leave that out of the tourist brochure!

It was a fib? Oh, I'm so disappointed now.

Fact:"Poo in the hole" isn't a phrase that you really want to hear under any circumstances. :shock:

Fact: It's been announced that the browser built into the Wii will be... Opera. So that's another item to add to my list of Reasons Why Opera Is Really Cool (bringing it to a grand total of... well, four, but I only started yesterday).

I'm not really sure why, but I've become quite addicted to 'Wikkipedia', and so have found out the most amazing things, about stuff I shouldn't really care about....which brings me to:

Fact: A banana is classed as a 'Herb', due to the lack of wood in the plant and that it dies soon after picking.

Fact: (I think this will be understood by people most in Britain) You know those little flowerly things that you can pick and blow? And people call them 'Fairy's' and make wish's? Well they are infact Dandelions! Just older! This is something that shocked me and my family.
I've missed so much in my life.

We have those over here too, I assure you. You're supposed to make a wish before you blow them...spreading dandelions EVERYWHERE.

Fact: It takes, on average, 6 million years for a photon from the center of the sun to make it to the surface...and then only 8 minutes to get to the Earth when it finally gets out.

Good god, that sounds like most of the times I've been to a Theme Park. You want to start gnawing off your arm - just to have something to do.
I swear Madonna was at a Theme park when she wrote her last(ish) song 'Hung up'.
"Time goes by, so slowly, slowly....time goes by, so slowly, slowly......."

The Sun, like most stars, isn't even slightly signposted, so the poor photons have no idea which way is'out'. It's one of the main reasons why the Sun ranks so low as a tourist destination, though the horribly fatal radiation levels probably have something to with that too.

Fact: It's illegal to sell anything that has the Seal of the President of the United States on it.

Which, given the goings on in Washington, is actually pretty ironic.

TV series, certainly. The Perry Rhodan literary series has been published non-stop since 1961 - as of the end of 2005 there are over 2300 installments - and there are several spin-offs to boot. Not bad going at all, really.

multi-format series, actually. I count 1989-2005 publications as canon. Otherwise it's not, and we open the debate over whether the Twilight Zone ran for longer...

If you want to argue the toss, there have been Perry Rhodan comics so it could be said to be multi-format too. :P

Seriously, you consider the books to be canon? That concept hardly even applies to the series, let alone the novels. And then you've got to consider the webcasts as being canon (REG and all), and that means you've got to consider the Big Finish audios to be canon as well! It's really just easier for everyone if you don't use that word in the first place - causes waay more problems that it could possibly resolve.

The sky at night, is the longest running TV show, with the same host:
One Sir Patrick Moore.
And I've met him.
And he's nice.
