Day 272

Kurt Cobain's house is currently up for sale and it includes the very mattress the Nirvana front man slept on.

A cloud near the constellation Aquila contains enough ethyl alcohol to fill 400 trillion trillion pints of beer.

"Duck billed" dinosaurs grew faster than their carnivorous counterparts.

These are just some of the facts that I now know thanks to Mental Floss, a magazine bringing its readership unbelievable facts, fun quizzes, quirky trivia and tests of general knowledge.
Ironically I have a lack of knowledge with regards to where this Mental Floss T-shirt came from. I simply peered into my Post Tube the other week and there it was - no package, no message, nothing. I've asked around but no one has owned up to donating it (assuming this is a donation to my THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE T-shirt challenge and not simply an item of lost property that's wound up in my office somehow), so it now features here for Day 272.

The inspiration for the McPi design came from reader Renier Fee who submitted the slogan "Billions Of Digits Served" to the Mental Floss T-shirt suggestion box. His actions resulted in the design becoming a reality as a parody of the famous McDonald's logo and slogan printed on a T-shirt, now available for purchase in the Mental Floss online store.

I'd like extend thanks to the mystery donator of this tee. By discreetly depositing this garment on my desk, you have helped smash one more day off my T-shirt challenge calendar.

I'll leave you now with another fact that I learned from the Mental Floss webite - like many of the foods on the McDonalds menu, this T-shirt was also coloured using 'paprika'.
