most of these aren't entriely useless...
other people's neither.
here goes:

Tycho Brahe (or possibly Kepler), the astronomer, died because it was impolite to go to the toilet at parties. So he didn't go. And died.
The End.

Also, Koalas get the helpful digestive bacteria which enables them to digest gum leaves, their (only) source of food (and water), by eating their mother's poo when in the pouch.

Cadbury's Creme Egg...


A previous post had me searching for the truth... A quick goole later and I found this:

www.cadbury.co.uk/EN/CTB2003/about_chocolate/brand_stories/creme_egg/

Cadbury Creme Egg was introduced by Cadbury brothers in the early 1920's and was first available in 1923, but the Creme Egg as we know it today was not made until 1971.

AND

If you laid all the eggs made on the Creme Egg plant end to end, they would stretch all the way from the Bournville factory in Birmingham UK to Sydney in Australia - that's 12,000 miles.

AND!!!

over 200 million are sold annually, 3 for every person in the UK.

another possible explanation for posh
the German word 'Poshlust' meaning not only the obviously trashy but mainly the falsely important, the falsely beautiful, the falsely clever, the falsely attractive

cant remember where i read that but i noted it to take the mickey out of a posh cunt who keeps calling me common here: www.justramit.co.uk, not a flaming site, more ranting and raving and having a chuckle

Dame Pedantia presents grammar you can remember.
Well, it seems to me that the following facts are useless, as no one uses them.

'Your' is possessive. "It's not your round, it's mine. Please allow me to buy you beer."

'You're' is a contraction of 'you are.' "You're a sex god and I want to spend quality time alone in a dark room with you and your sexual organs."

'It's' is a contraction of 'it is.' Again, "It's not your round, it's mine."

'It's' can also be a contraction of 'it has.' "Your penis is moleste! It's got to be the biggest one I have ever seen. May I please stimulate it orally?"

Polar Bears
Sorry if it's been done but here goes...

A Polar bear's liver contains 15,000 to 30,000 units of vitamin A which would prove fatal should a human eat it.

Despite what our eyes tell us, a polar bear's fur is not white. Each hair shaft is pigment-free and transparent with a hollow core.

Polar bears look white because the hollow core scatters and reflects visible light, much like ice and snow does.

When photographed with film sensitive to ultraviolet light, polar bears appear black.

Now then, back to my beermat collection.

The word comes from the punishment handed out to Roman legions by commanding officers. One out of every ten men was picked (at random) and was beaten to death by the rest of the legion.
