Back in the mid '90s I read a cosmo article that said the average time spent making love was 23mins...
Whilst this fact begs many questions...
This tickled me because 3 x 23 = 69 dudes!
And it is a most excellent fact!

In 1887, British Prime Minister Robert Gascoyne-Cecil appointed his nephew Arthur James Balfour as Minister for Ireland. The phrase 'Bob's your uncle' was coined when Arthur referred to the Prime Minister as 'Uncle Bob'.
Apparently, it's very simple to become a minister when Bob's your uncle!! |

Here’s a juicy nugget of wisdom: Did you know that the French word for dandelion, pissenlit, translates as, ‘to wet the bed’? The name derives from the fact that dandelion leaves have diuretic properties. |

Fingernails don't actually continue to grow after you die. In fact, the skin of your fingers contracts due to loss of moisture which makes it seem like the nails become longer.
Why is this my favourite random fact? Because so many people continue to claim that the fingernails do continue to grow despite the science of it. |

Cats won't shit in your garden if you leave scored garlic bulbs in it.
I know this as I had a problem with cats making my bag of sand for my extension their personal litter tray, then they started round the side of my house once the sand had been used. A couple of scored garlic bulbs and that was it, problem solved. Now I don't have to put out new bulbs any more than once a year and they stay clear!! |

I think sayings still carry on even if the name goes out of fashion |

The music in the cantina in star wars (Mad About Me by Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes) is a genre of music called jizz. Not jazz, jizz.
Of all the descriptive names they could've used, they chose jizz. |

You could always get a cat because it wouldn't shit in your garden but elsewhere and keep your garden as it's own territory |

"I have a magical penis.
It's my favourite because my penis is magical
Can it saw a woman in half? Or make a rabbit disappear?"
Even better, it can make itself disappear |

Is this the bit where I demand to see or say "pictures or it didn't happen?!" |

A candle flame is hollow. Google it if you don't know what I mean.
I like that because it's interesting and surprising, and most people don't know it. It wasn't even mention on the QI episode about fire. Luke |
