The Telegraph (UK) outlines 50 things you might not know about Barack Obama. Some of my favorites:

 • He was known as "O'Bomber" at high school for his skill at basketball

• He won a Grammy in 2006 for the audio version of his memoir, Dreams From My Father

• He worked in a Baskin-Robbins ice cream shop as a teenager and now can't stand ice cream

• He ate dog meat, snake meat, and roasted grasshopper while living in Indonesia

• He can speak Spanish

• While on the campaign trail he refused to watch CNN and had sports channels on instead

• He promised Michelle he would quit smoking before running for president – he didn't

• He was known as Barry until university when he asked to be addressed by his full name

• He applied to appear in a black pin-up calendar while at Harvard but was rejected by the all-female committee.

• His favourite music includes Miles Davis, Bob Dylan, Bach and The Fugees

• He says his worst habit is constantly checking his BlackBerry
