Here's an interesting useless piece of trivia. The saying 'having your
head in the sand' was (I think) originally conceived from the idea that
ostriches bury their heads in the sand. It turns out that ostriches
aren't actually burying their heads in the sand, but they're cleaning
the feathers on their heads in the sand.
Sorry, I was replying anyway so I thought I'd tell ya anyway :)

I'm very intelligent and creative and suchlike. Although my spelling's
too good for me to be dyslexic :)

You know what's annoying? I've never been very good at programming or
making music, so I guess I'm not dyslexic, although I am very good at
web design. [cough JonnyDigital.co.uk cough] :)

Richard Branson, Peter Molyneux, and some guy whose name I forget are
well-known examples.
