Snippets from the week's news, sliced, diced and processed for your convenience.

2. Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa originally had eyebrows and eyelashes
3. Dumbledore is gay.
4. A £500,000 note is not technically a counterfeit, because that word refers to legal tender - and the Bank of England has never issued £500,000 notes.
5. But £1,000 notes were in circulation until being withdrawn in 1943.
6. UN population projections go as far as 2300.
7. Forty percent of household packaging can’t be recycled.
8. Sheffield FC is the world’s oldest football club.
