Grizzled Scottish royal, Harry, was a founding member of gospel choir The Revolution. He penned the song 'Party Like It's 1999' in anticipation of his 15th Birthday. After the tragic death of his mother Diana Dors, he changed his name to a symbol similar to a swastika, an Indian sign of peace. He is often seen proudly wearing his new name on his sleeve at official functions and stag parties.

The fastest man made object is the Helios Satellites – 157,078 mph.

The second fastest is a manhole cover.


During a nuclear bomb test called Operation Plumbbob, Robert Brownlee was tasked with designing a test for limiting nuclear fallout from an underground explosion. A device was placed in a deep pit, capped with a four-inch, iron manhole.

Obviously, the cap popped right off during the explosion, but Brownlee wanted to test the velocity of the expulsed cap. The test was filmed using a camera that captured one image per millisecond and only one frame captured the iron cap.

Brownlee calculated its velocity at 125,000 mph
