HP Don't Make HP LaserJet Printers
The first ever HP LaserJet printer was basically Canon inside and in more recent years (since 2016) Canon exclusively make the printers and toners for HP.
This is why sometimes when you get a spare part from a supplier, a Canon branded part may arrive - this is not an error as a lot of people think as they don't realise the inside/engine of a HP LaserJet printer is more often than not, from Canon.

Ninjas Dont Wear Black!
Although wearing black they wouldn't be seen at night, they'd stick out like a sore thumb during the daylight hours so wearing something yellowish-red or dark blue would help them disappear at night but blend in during the day as Farmers tended to wear yellowish/red clothing for example.
So why do we think they just wear plain black? Well the word on the street is that prop handlers in theatres wore Ninja style outfits that were all black so they could try and hide on set as they moved props around during a play and it's at a play that most people would see a Ninja style costume as after all, Ninjas were effectively spies so were trying to prevent people spotting them!

Pouring Juice From A Carton The Wrong Way
It has transpired that since the dawn of time we have all been pouring juice cartons in the wrong way risking splashing the cartons contents all over the place! The correct way to pour it is either form the side or the top (not the bottom as most of us tend to do) and that way you'll get fewer splashes!
After recovering from being MIND BLOWN James tried using the correct method to pour some Oat Milk (don't ask! We think he's turning in to a Vegetarian/Vegan) and somehow managed to spill some - it turns out he wasn't using the correct method correctly!
If there is a flap near the pouring spout you need to do this:

Making Coffee Using Thermodynamics

When I asked what on Earth he was doing he told me I wouldn't understand unless I knew about THERMODYNAMICS!!
He did offer to explain the thermodynamic way of crafting a cup of coffee but I had to decline his Mind Blowing offer as I had no interest in learning how to over-engineer a mug of coffee as I had more important things to do such a counting all the staples left in all the office staplers...
