paddycanary 539 Posted October 18, 2020 The word "censorship" is censored in China. There's a village in Norway called Hell that freezes over every winter. Baby otters can't swim. You can't hum if you hold your nose. (My daughter told me that one!) The Masai people believe all cattle belong to them. Giraffes can clean their ears with their tongues. Elephants can't jump. Butterflies taste through their feet. LEGO is the largest tyre manufacturer in the world. (a kid to thank again for that one) Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia is a fear of long words (sadly had to resort to Google for that one for correct spelling) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cambridgeshire canary 6,707 Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) Here's one for you folks if we are doing facts. in 1989 the USSR traded 17 submarines, a cruiser, frigate and a destroyer in exchange for Pepsi to operate in the USSR. Yes, you read that correct. In 1989 the USSR made the Pepsi company the 6th largest and most powerful navy fleet in the world. All that in excahnge for that sweet sweet sticky sugary black necter.

Wings of a Sparrow 1,414 Posted October 18, 2020 Crab sticks don’t actually contain any crab. and from 1993, manufactures have been legally obliged to label them ‘crab flavoured sticks’. Another one of those same time tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

horsefly 4,298 Posted October 19, 2020 The collective noun for a group of jellyfish is a "smack". And that's why Heroin is known by the nickname "smack" as Jelly fish produce a natural version of it.
