The children's' TV show, The Clangers, does actually have a script and is not just random swanney whistle noises. If you listen carefully, you can sometimes make out the "words". Smoking it or injecting it? |

Really poor people would sale their urine to leather tanners hence where the phrase "water poor" stems from, and if you were really really poor you couldn't afford the pot hence the phrase "Pot to water in "

The largest species of shark known to be currently swimming the oceans is the Whaleshark. It is a filter shark in that it filters plankton, etc rather than hunts or scavenge. Its mouth is around 5ft wide.
The largest shark thought to have existed is the megalodon. Its tooth fossil is 7inches long and if extrapolated using the Great White as the template would have a jaw 6ft 6inches wide. I could just about stand up straight.

Whalesharks are classed as endangered as are many shark species. I caught an episode of Galapagos on the BBC where they looked at Hammerhead sharks. If I heard correctly, known populations of Hammerheads has reduced by something like 97% in 30 years. |

Our first Prime Minister is generally taken as being Robert Walpole in 1721, however the term was rarely used and only became used in official documents as recent as 1917.

Removing an several aluminium splinters from ones bell end by squeezing like a zit lead to pishing blood and pain for several weeks, as such should only be removed by a doctor

Another fact is you should never place 1/2 dozen unopened 2Inch piercing needles in your pocket, if you discover one missing and have pain in your leg, check leg immediately and not a few hours later, as a matter of fact a piercing needle 1 3/4 iched in a leg hurts like a bitch

The colour orange as we call it today wasn't so named until after the discovery of the orange fruit. Up until then it went by different names, usually saffron.
