Wikipedia is excellent. When it's not being used as a sweet place for its founder to pick up ladies , it's a veritable hotbed of interesting information - some of it true!

And so it is with great pleasure we launch what we hope will be an ongoing series (though in all likelihood, it probably won't be - we are easily distracted and... hey! Look over there! Shiny thing sparkling in the sun!) - Interesting Pieces Of Trivia Acquired From Wikipedia!

To kick things off, here's some stuff we didn't know about the future Mr Delta Goodrem, ex-Westlife member Brian "Bryan" McFadden, courtesy of his Wikipedia entry.

· He worked as a security guard in McDonalds and as a bingo caller before finding fame with Westlife!
· McFadden performed with Westlife as Bryan because it made signing autographs easier for him!
· He is a passionate Collingwood Magpies supporter in the AFL, and said "I know I might risk sales by saying this in Australia, but I am a passionate Collingwood supporter and, yes, surprisingly I still have all my teeth"!
· He plays for an Australian Rules side in Sydney's Castle Hill!

And there you have it.
