A lack of "astonishing facts" here.
Have another from me, its real life but bizarre by any measure:
Many Koreans believe that if you fall asleep with a fan on in the bedroom, and the windows and doors are closed then you will die in the night.
Reasons for death range from asphyxiation to hypothermia, strangely no-one can pin this down.
More amazingly, the government are on board with this - check the lower half of this wiki page under "South Korean Government"

The mind boggles.

Cost?
£2.5 million each
One year build - I'd agree with that give or take a couple of months.Cost?
£2.5 million each
£2.5 million each?? Not sure what you are smoking but it must be good stuff.
A Model B grand will set you back £100K +/- 20% dependent on materials/spec.
Where did £2.5million come from
