T. Eliot, top bard, notes putrid tang emanating, is sad; I'd assign it a name: gnat dirt upset on drab pot toilet.
Maybe doesn't count as a phrase.

Lawrence Levine wrote a 31,594-word palindromic novel titled Dr. Awkward & Olson in Oslo.
There are many long sentences possible if you just include a lot of commas. The extreme came from Peter Norvig who designed a computer program that could automatically generate as long a palindrome as possible using the "A man, a plan, a canal, Panama" as the base. Norvig’s program created a 21,012-word palindrome.
In Antarctica, there are more than 5 million cubic yards of ice per person on Earth.

The key from a corned beef can unlocks the shopping trolleys at all supermarkets.
Great to know if you forget you pound. Easy to do in todays cashless society.
Just nip into the supermarket at pilfer a corned beef can key.

Interesting link. Seems to be observed under certain circumstances but not fully understood or even accepted.
Describes examples with coffe and ice cream, which strikes me as very poor science, as neither are water!
I think if I took a litre of water from my fridge and a litre of water from my boiling water tap, put them both in the freezer, I just cannot believe the one from the boiling water tap will freeze faster.

Quite some read.
So it's not really the case that hot water freezes fast than cold water, rather
“There
exists a set of initial parameters (water mass, gas content of water, container shape and type, and refrigeration
method), and a pair of temperatures, such that given two
bodies of water identical in these parameters, and differ-
ing only in their temperatures, the hot one will freeze
sooner.”
Not quite as eye catching I guess!

The sun is not orange. It is actually all colours which would appear to our eyes as white however what we see is yellow and orange colour wavelengths which are longer and make it to our eyes.
The other colours (green, blue and violet) are shorter wavelengths and are scattered by the atmosphere which is what makes the sky look blue during the day.
Another one - the odds of a coin toss being heads is not 50/50. Statistically the odds are 51/49 of a coin landing on the face that it started on.
How does that work then?
Scratch that - I have read https://susan.su.domains/papers/headswithJ.pdf
Statistically the odds are 51/49 under a very specific set of conditions.
Flip a coin onto a desk, you increase the randomness and you’re back to 50/50
But yeh, mad what some people will spend time investigating to that extent! Fascinating.
There is far more bias on a coin spun on edge, as it is of course not evenly weighted from Heads to Tails (with more than 60% landing on the same side).
But that depends on the coin then…
What a rabbit-hole

The frequency of a quartz watch oscillator is 2^15 Hz.
Digital watches were invented in 1883.
I still think that they are a pretty neat idea.
I was today years old when I learnt that the community of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilio gogogoch on Anglesey is twinned with the village of Ie in the Netherlands and the commune of Y in France. Excellent.
Vinto is big in the Middle East.
In similar vein, I once caravanned in the small village of Poissons, near St. Dizier in the great unknown centre of France.
I was delighted to read on the village sign that it is twinned with the commune of Avril, in Lorraine.
Poissons, Avril; the French version of April Fool is April Fish, or Poisson d'Avril.
we had quite a good crop of cauliflowers last year.
Delia Smith baked the cake on the cover of The Rolling Stones album ‘Let it Bleed’.
The number you can’t lose.
9
e.g. 2x9=18…..(1+8=9)
50x9=450….(4+5=9)
And so on.
