Interesting Facts

According to a survey commissioned by The Original Factory Shop, couples lie to each other all the time. (For a man the most popular lie is his internet history, salary, and what they get up to on a night out, and for us women, it's secret shopping, along with how much and what we eat and what we really watch on TV. Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies.)

“Rex” – the world’s most complete bionic man cost a million dollars to make. ( He consists of a prosthetic face, hips, knees, feet and hands, all of which are commercially available. Other off-the-shelf items include an artificial retina, cochlea and heart. The robotics team Shadow, who built Rex, believe they can now replicate about two-thirds of the human body. They said, “There are some vital organs missing, like the stomach, but 60 to 70 per cent of a human has effectively been rebuilt.” )
