DeForest Kelley from original 60s Star Trek was "saved" by a haircut. He almost didn't get the role of "Bones"Mc Coy because he was previously known for playing villains, so studio bosses weren't convinced he could play a more heroic role.
So Gene Roddenberry, sent him to get a 35 dollar haircut from a well known hair stylist. |

When Macdonalds released the quarter 1/4 pounder in the USA, Wendy's a rival fast food chain tried to fight back with their 1/3 pounder advertising it as more meat.
The 1/3 pounder failed due to the public believing the 1/4 was bigger. |

 I can well believe that. Quite a lot of people don't understand fractions. |

That the film The Madness of King George was originally titled the Madness of King George The Third but when shown to American preview audiences they said it was a good film and they would have liked to have seen the first two.  |

That's true. I've heard that it's more than 12/5ths of people. |

I always smile when people cut something in two and offer me the bigger "half". |

When they were first formed in 1940, the Home Guard was seriously under-equipped: one unit received pikes to use and others made up for the meagre weapon supplies that they had with shotguns, rifles and 'souvenirs' that many had brought home from the First World War. |

Apparently. Kangaroo means “I don’t know” as when the first Europeans reached Australia they asked/indicated as to what they called them, that is what the aboriginals said and the name has been that since |

Apparently there is a similar story for the Sahara Desert, asked what is that pointing to the Desert the Egyptians responded Sahara meaning desert…. so we called it Desert Desert |

People think that super glue was developed for the Vietnam war, it wasn’t. It was made by accident by scientists at Kodak, they didn’t have a need for it so they sold the formula to Loctite and the rest is history |

If you hold your hand up with your thumb raised, the distance from palm/wrist, to the middle finger is the length of a man's penis.
The distance from the tip of the thumb to the middle of the palm is the circumference. |

Winston to Lady Astor: Madame if I was your husband I’d drink it!

I see what you did there.

Apologies to all the men whose penises shrink when I hold my hand up with my thumb raised.

Does it though.? Convenient, but maybe not really the origin of the name. |

Known for a while, but some interesting forensics facts.
Your thumb is as long as your nose.
Your foot is the same size as your inner forearm.
All your bones will fit into a small box if placed correctly.
When an aeroplane crashes, you are told to put your head between your legs so that it is easier to identify the body by their dental records (not to kiss your arse goodbye as commonly told ) |
