Rhinos disintegrate at exactly 2,000.005 mph at sea level
But only after ablative gaseous friction on their horns causes the cyclical decline of the prow-wave, resulting in shock fractures in the hydrodynamic environment triggering thermolytic detonation in the subcutaneous fat layer.

In a vacuum, rhinos could, theoretically, accellerate forever. Into a neutron star. Yeah, baby.

Also about "bless you"
In old times, sneezing meant you were ill, and basically if you were ill you would die so people would say "bless you" so they could be blessed before they die and then go to heaven...

hmm
"Lagom
The common swedish word "lagom" can't be be translated in to a single word in any other language. In english it would be something like "not to much, not to little".
The origin of the word is the old days when they passed one jug of beer around and everyone should drink "lagom" so there would be some left for the last person, but not more then he could handle.
Lag = team, om|kring = around"

apparently. but isnt 'not too much, not too little' translated as 'sufficient' in english?

well,
when you are a fetus, everyone is pretty much a girl becuse the genitals look the same and as the fetues grows to only like a couple months from birth, the genitals chane to reveal if you are girl or boy.

Bless you
When people say bless you when you sneeze, it is because many years ago, they used to think it was a demon coming out of your sole so they would bless you. Apparently, your not supposed to say thank you, or the demon would go back into your sole when tou opened your mouth

Beware of traders with a piglet under one arm, and a bunch of tied sacks over the other.
The expression 'never buy a pig in a poke' is taken from the same market-place scam that 'letting the cat out of the bag' comes from.

Got a million of these.

I (practically) guarantee you won't know this one...
Most people know that former Tory Minister and Leadership candidate Michael Portillo had gay experiences when at Cambridge. What most people don't know is that during the first of these 'experiences', he was wearing a batman costume. (no, I don't know why either)

The torn and stained batsuit is still rumoured to be in the possession of the Fellow who allegedly did the dirty deed as some twisted sort of trophy- and seeing as the person in question has a gigantic poster of a cock on the back of the door to his office, this seems fairly plausible.
