    Mick O'Toon asked me to post a thread about this and I think SN is wanting it too, as he is trying to spoil other threads with his facts, fun or otherwise.

    To start the ball rolling, I shall give the first fact, fun or otherwise...

    People who say it is my 25th birthday or my 32nd birthday etc are idiots, as you only have one birthday.

    I'm glad you brought that up Gambol, as many stupid people think that. Surely, every year you just celebrate an anniversary of your birthday i.e. the day you were born. You don't get reborn every year Gambol, you silly sausage.

    ****in yaaaaaaasssss Baz, these are the kinds of facts, fun or otherwise that will make this thread.<ok>

    Here are some animal related facts, fun or otherwise...

    The term Arctic means "bear" hence you get polar bears in the Arctic and none in the Antarctic, which means "no bears".
    The Canary islands are named after dogs, as in canines, the birds are named after the islands, not the other way about.

    Since the death of Charles II, no Queen or King of Britain has been a direct descendant of the Stewarts, but if/when William takes the throne he will be descended to Charles II through his mother's (Princess of Hearts) side.

    if pinocchio says 'my nose will grow now' it would cause a paradox, thus meaning the hapless puppet boy's head would explode.
