Some that I like include:
Newcastle is the noisiest place in England.
Only about half of China’s population can speak the national language, Mandarin.
There is mobile phone reception from the summit of Mount Everest.
Denmark is the happiest country in Europe; Italy the unhappiest.
Cats can be police constables
Incidentally I am now posting this from the latest version of MarsEdit to which I have just upgraded. Best blogging software I have found yet.
