Dates back to 1930, when a certain effect was noticed after the injection of extracts from an ox's pituitary gland.
That's it. Scientist Lancelot Hogben, who had a strange predilection for injecting hormones into frogs, injected the pituitary gland extract into a South African Xenopus frog - and noted that it started laying eggs. Knowing that the urine of pregnant women contains hormones from the pituitary gland, he put two and two together and set about developing the 'pee on a stick' pregnancy test. Over to you.
I think that's the stadium of FC Sherriff Tiraspol - the first team from an unrecognised state to get through to the group stages of the Champions League.
