    how many toes do you have, on each hand?

    an inneresting number, perhaps?

    so pray tell us what you believe we are all here for - to provide food for some alien intelligence that is cultivating us and we are yet to see, as in V?

    Which nation does your Jewish 1/8th ancestry come from?

    If you're only 1/8th Jewish then what religion is the other 7/8th? Catholic, CofE, Muslim, Jedi?
    well, it all helps to pass the day!

    I have a good new national anthem. Not sure who released it originally, might have been the New York Dolls, but it was covered by Guns n Roses and I think quite appropriate

    "I don't give a damn about you (EU). Feck You"

    but yes, I am being pedantic. But I'm just countering the tendency for the English to refer to the UK as England
