12 pennies or 12d was a shilling, 20 shillings to £1 so being fined 5p is the equivalent to being a shilling in pre-decimal currency. 5d would be about 2p as close as near enough! |

Peter Karpin, a German espionage agent in World War I, was seized by French Intelligence agents in 1914 as soon as he entered the country. Keeping his capture a secret, the French sent faked reports from Karpin to Germany and intercepted the agent's wages and expense money until Karpin escaped in 1917. With those funds the French purchased an automobile, which, in 1919, in occupied Rurh, accidentally ran down and killed a man, who proved to be Peter Karpin  |

"a polar bear's liver is toxic to humans."
The reverse is also true, so Polar Bears will leave the liver when the disembowel any human they come across.
Alternatively, carry some human liver with you to wave in front of a Polar Bear & thus scare it off |

A black cow is a chocolate soda with chocolate ice cream. The term dates from the Roaring Twenties, although it also came to be used to describe a root beer float. Another term for a black cow was a mud fizz. |
