The "Lethal Weapon" series of comedy-action films was built around the enduring partnership of two LAPD detectives, Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) who doesn't play by the rules and his more seasoned partner, Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover). Such was the popularity of the original film (1987), that a further three released by 1998.

Joe Pesci, as Leo Getz, is the third lead in the series and he makes his first appearance in "Lethal Weapon 2" (1989), providing the comic relief for the remaining three films. In his first appearance, he is a federal witness that Riggs and Murtagh are assigned to protect. He ends up appointing himself as their side-kick and the three soon become friends. In the third film (1992), Leo/Joe returns as a real estate agent (he was a banker in #2) and, in four (1998), he has a new vocation, as a private investigator.

If I were to turn up and say that a field goal is scored when an offensive team kicks the ball through the uprights of the goalposts... I would not be "technically" correct. Here's why:

The goalposts are 18 feet and six inches apart. They also have a crossbar that is ten feet above the ground. The first rule of a field goal is that the ball needs to pass through the plane that is (a) between the posts and (b) over the crossbar. The second part of this equation is that the whole of the ball must pass through this plane to be considered "good".

There is another component to this, and that is the kick. For a field goal to be considered "good" it must touch the ground during the kicking phase. Accordingly, the kick must be either a place kick or a drop kick... it cannot be a punt kick.

Generally the offensive team would be trying for a touchdown, which is worth six points and has the potential to be worth a point or two more but if the touchdown is unlikely then the field goal may become a play.

"The Brady Bunch" (1969-74) was a US sitcom that revolved around a blended family made up of Mike Brady (Robert Reed), a widowed architect, who married Carol Martin (Florence Henderson). Mike had three boys from his prior marriage, and Carol brought her three daughters into the mix to make up the new family. The rest of the household included a live-in housekeeper, Alice Nelson (Ann B. Davis), and Tiger, a dog, that had been part of the boy's previous household. Interestingly, in the pilot episode Carol and her girls owned a cat named Fluffy, but that was the only time that we ever saw it.

The boys in the series were Greg (Barry Williams), Peter (Christopher Knight), and Bobby (Mike Lookinland)... and the girls were Marcia (Maureen McCormick), Jan (Eve Plumb), and Cindy (Susan Olsen).

The Ten Commandments are found in the Old Testament of the Bible and are generally understood to be the moral imperatives that Christians should abide by.

Interestingly, the Jewish commentaries refer to stealing as the taking of a human being i.e. kidnapping which, in turn, is a capital offence and would have been punishable by death. Over the years that has come to be seen as the taking of property from another... not necessarily a capital offence in that light.

The reason for the mentioning of "Catholicism" in the question is important as some sects would place this commandment in a different order. For example, the Jewish Talmud places it at number eight. The same also applies to the Septuagint, followed by the Eastern Orthodox Christians, and the Reformed Christians, who follow Calvin's "Institutes", which is also based on the Septuagint.

A gross is a unit of measurement and it contains 144 items. Essentially, that equates to a dozen dozens or, the dozen squared.

But wait, there's more. There is also an item of measurement called a great gross... it equates to 1,728 items. In other words, it's a dozen grosses or, a dozen cubed i.e. (12x12x12).

The term, which originated in the 15th century and it is a part of the duodecimal system. If you're not sure what that means, it is a system that uses twelve as its base rather than ten. Believe it or not, there is a group out there who continue to push for the gross and, by extension, the duodecimal system, to be used ahead of the decimal system. They are called the Dozenal Society of America and they formed in 1944. The Dozenal Society of Great Britain formed in 1959.

Hearts is a member of the Whist group of card games, which also includes the likes of Bridge and Spades. The major difference between Hearts and others in this family is that, rather than being a trick-taking game, it is more like a trick-avoidance game.

Generally played with four players though it can accommodate three to six players. Some cards may need to be removed to align with the other numbers. In the four player version, all 52 cards are dealt, each player receiving 13 cards. The player who holds the two of clubs will lead the first trick. The aim of the game is to score the least number of points possible. This means you have to avoid winning hands that contain hearts (each worth one point) or the Queen of Spades, which is worth thirteen. However, if you have a particularly strong hand you may choose to try and collect all of the tricks. This is called "shooting the moon" and, if you're successful, you score zero and your opponents are given 26 points.

If we were to include the bones in the inner ear (known as the ossicles) and the hyoid, then that number would be 29 bones. The skull can be split into two areas - the braincase, also known as the neurocranium, and the facial skeleton or viscerocranium.

The neurocranium is there to protect the brain and the brain is almost, entirely, enclosed within it. There are entry and exit points for blood vessels and cranial nerves. The most prominent bones of the facial skeleton include the maxilla and the mandible (the upper and lower jaws, respectively). The zygomatic, nasal, palatine and lacrimal bones, along with the vomer make up the majority of the orbita and the nasal cavity.

O'Neal was selected by Orlando as the first overall pick in the 1992 NBA draft. His jersey preference was number 33 because it was the number worn by his favourite player, Hall of Famer Patrick Ewing. That number, however, was already taken by teammate Terry Catledge, who did not wish to relinquish it. The "alleged" story is that he demanded a fee of $50,000 to hand it over. Shaq was not prepared to do so and set about making #32 famous. Shaq played for Orlando from 1992 to 1996 at which point he moved to the LA Lakers. In light of his performances with the club, Orlando retired the #32 jersey.

Shaq would also bear the #32 jersey at Miami Heat (2004-08) and the Phoenix Suns (2008-09). At the LA Lakers (1996-2004) he bore the number 34, he finally got the privilege of number 33 at the Cleveland Cavaliers (2009-10) and, at the Boston Celtics (2010-11), he wore #36.

Bob Hope was born in 1903 in Eltham, England and moved, with his family, to the United States when he was four years old. He died in July 2003, just two months after celebrating his 100th birthday.

In between, Hope spent nearly 80 years treading the boards in vaudeville, performing on network radio, appearing in 70 short and feature films (starring in 54 of those), hosting the Academy Awards ceremony a record nineteen times and writing fourteen books. Arguably, his finest work was completing 57 tours for the United Services Organization between the years 1941 and 1991. Congress obviously felt this was also the case and, in 1997, made him an honorary veteran of the Armed Forces.

Sources vary as to the exact number of passengers and crew that were rescued, though the figures tend to range from 705 to 712.

The RMS Titanic hit an iceberg and sank at approximately 2:20 a.m. on April 15, 1912. There were some 2,200 people on board at the time which, basically, means that about 1,500 people lost their lives. The 700 odd passengers that survived were rescued by the RMS Carpathia, which was about three hours away from the stricken ship when the accident occurred.

Not only did the survivors have to endure hours of the freezing cold Atlantic without knowing if or when they would be rescued, they also had to deal with frozen dead bodies floating around them.
