In Fact

• Parmesan cheese accounts for 10 per cent of thefts from Italian shops—more than any other good [Sunday Telegraph, 5th November 2006]. Besides the votes from the presidential ballots.
• Tony Blair is the 188th best paid public sector worker [The Observer, 5th November 2006]. Bureaucracy at its best.
• There are 60 casinos in Moscow—more than any other city in the world bar Las Vegas and Miami [World Casino Directory]. Russian roulette is definitely back.
• In Britain, more children are born to one white and one black parent than to two black parents [The Economist, 28th October 2006]. Blame Klum&Seal.
• The Chicago White Sox baseball team now starts its midweek games at 7.11pm after a sponsorship deal with 7-Eleven stores [The Guardian, 20th October 2006]. Homeland Security is still offering a 9/11 deal.
• Almost 1 per cent of Guatemalan children are adopted by American families [New York Times, 6th November 2006]. The rest of the them aim a little higher: to get an original birth certificate at Tapachula.
