My two penn'orthKing Brown Cow: your boss is partly right; the body does work in cycles of about 90 minutes, but he's wrong to assume that means you only need 3 hours of sleep a night and it's hard to see why on earth he thought that. He is therefore indeed a twat. Fact!
'Rule of thumb' refers to bygone days when there was a rule that a man could only beat his wife with a stick as thick as his thumb. Fact! (EDIT for the bloke above: I said 'rule' not law. The anti-feminist websites that say this purported origin is false produce no more firm evidence than I've seen for the opposing argument.)
'Bygone days' is a phrase used by academically dodgy museums and by people who don't know exactly when they are talking about. Fact!
Palindromes only work if you spell the sentence correctly, for fuck's sake. Fact!
