Useless facts

In 1610, the year the King James Bible translation was completed, William Shakespeare was 46.

And in Psalm 46, the 46th word from the start is "Shake", and the 46th word back from the end is "Spear".

freaky! (even though you have to exclude the "selah" at the end to make it work).

Though Brigette Bardot represented freedom to others, she herself
came from a fiercely, repressive petit-bourgeois background. On her
wedding night (after the civil ceremony, but before the religious one),
her father stood at the end of the bed with a shotgun, ready to shoot
Roger Vadim if he attempted to enter the bridal suite. Though she appeared
nude in many pictures, BB - or the Sex Kitten, as she was known to a
generation - now devotes herself to animal rights and the restoration
of traditional values. In the summer she runs up and down the beach at
St. Tropez with a paddle, cursing topless bathers and swatting at their
parts.

The first incident of sexual harassment at work is now recognised to have
been the constant depredations Mary Queen of Scots made on her secretary
Rizzio. She would often keep him working late and embarrass him by making
leading comments in French.

Rizzio was forced to opt for early redundancy when his bowels were
drawn from his body and burnt in front of Mary - an interesting parallel
with today, when it is not the persecutor but the persecuted who in-
variably pays the penalty.

In Ulan Batur, auto-erotic habits within marriage are impossible since at
that altitude semen stains everything it touches magenta.

Here's another.

If during the formation of English League Division Two in 1892 or sth they could have found a 14th decent team, Halliwell FC, a suburb of Bolton, would have been admitted, giving Bolton two league teams, and me being from Halliwell, a crisis of conscience.

They played at Holy Harbour Ground on Rishton Lane, now guess what, a housing estate...

"We're Halliwell, we're mental, we quite like a pint in the Crofters..."

Dogs can't look up.

I've just been and walked over to the dogs basket, she looked up at me, and then went back to sleep.

Thats made up internet nonsense

Not at all. I heard it when I was in school in the Seventies; it's made-up real-world nonsense, now also available on the Internet.

And the only thing pigs won't eat are apples.

I can assure you pigs will eat apples, as once upon a time a few managed to escape the lorry to the bacon factory and a couple were eventually found munching fallen apples in the orchard.

I've just been and walked over to the dogs basket, she looked up at me, and then went back to sleep.

That proves it - obviously saw nothing. Maybe they can look up, but not see anything?

It's not me saying that, it's Simon Pegg.....
