Would it be cheating to grab one and count. Say 100.

A clue, they do actually sleep in the water but obviously can't breath underwater.

Do they sleep underwater but bob up to breath?

Basically yes. They can last for 5 mins underwater so when asleep they subconsciously surface to breath and then sink back down again. Interesting to watch as of course they mainly sleep during the day. Haven't heard one today.

Llondel in the chair.

OK, I was considering asking how many unsuccessful assassination attempts there have been on US Presidents, but I lost track of counting them.

Instead, a topical two-part one after enjoying the annihilation of ManU. What's the highest-scoring game in the English Premier League to date? Second part is what's the highest number of goals scored in a match by a single team in the PL? Bonus points for names of the teams taking part.

I guess I should just give the answers. Highest scoring was 7-4, 11 goals shared between Portsmouth and Reading in 2007.

Several teams have scored nine goals in a single game: Spurs, Man United (twice), Leicester and Liverpool.

OH for something more popular.
