What other way would you want?

Challenged in September 2010 to come up with interesting facts every day by one of my work colleagues, I've since entertained him and those near his desk with bits of information dredged from my brain. Some of my audience went on holiday and still wanted the facts so I started posting here, every day I do one of them, usually Monday through Friday, and the occasional post on the weekend. I post these facts here almost every day and you will find two posts on some days to make any missing days.

Today's interesting fact has to do with heart attacks.

Most people don't worry about having a heart attack, even though children as young as five have had them in recent years.

When having a heart attack, many report pain radiating down the left arm, stifness of the arm or neck or even a crushing weight on the chest, sometimes likened to having an elephant sit on you.

But what most people don't know, is the most likely time to have one is between 6 am and 12 noon.
