Fullerene Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Although it looks remarkably similar to Earth, the Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory was actually located on the planet Alderaan. This planet was destroyed by the Death Star in the first Star Wars film. Although the factory was destroyed, vast amounts of chocolate floated through space - to a galaxy far, far away - in other words - our galaxy - the Milky Way (no pun intended) and eventually arrived here on Earth. So, if you like chocolate - you can thank Darth Vadar and his friends (and Willy Wonka - I suppose) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dee_62 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 As springtime gets into full swing it's nice to recall that modern betting was invented by a group of Welsh sheep farmers in April 1974. Gareth Stanley Jones and Iwan James Evans were arguing about which of the lambs in the flock would jump the highest and the "gambolling" concept was born. Stan and James, as they were better known, kept the argument going and Stan eventually won all of James' flock - the first person to be "fleeced". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
++Ammo - Airdrie++ Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Mo Farrah is actually the last living relation of Bob Marley. His famous Mo-Bot was originally titled the Marley-bot in homage to his late great-uncle but the name was changed at the last moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banana Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Spurred on by prescribed LSD, Queen Victoria's final gibbering demand on her deathbed was to breed apples with plums. Two years later the first cherries took London by storm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 They were first traded for sexual favours but some were usually damaged during intercourse. Hence the phrase popping your cherry. It was rumoured that banapples were also created but the name became too confusing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullerene Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 The original storyline for "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" involved aliens from outer space inventing the internet so everybody spends all their time sitting in front of a computer while the aliens quietly take control of the Earth. Sounds a bit far-fetched to me! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 The James Bond character Jaws was actually portrayed by Cliff Richard. In the 2 films he appears in, the body and face of Richard Kiel was superimposed over the top of Richard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie95 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 The James Bond character Jaws was actually portrayed by Cliff Richard. In the 2 films he appears in, the body and face of Richard Kiel was superimposed over the top of Richard. Due to Cliff's little knowledge of the James Bond series, Cliff didn't actually realise that guns would be used during the filming, as Cliff suffers from a major fear of guns. His scenes as Jaws were superimposed due to Cliff being terrified in every scene and breaking down into tears every time a gun was in his line of sight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought "The Spy Love who loved me" and "Summer Holiday" were similar films but I could not think why. All the same, I think they missed a trick not casting Hank Marvin as James Bond. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Marvin did actually make an uncredited appearance in a Bond film. He's the midget henchman in The Spy Who Loved Me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smpar Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Chris Sutton used to share a toothbrush with his pet dog, Clover, as he thought this was some sort of good luck ritual before match days. He has since given Clover his own toothbrush since the final day of the 2002/03 season, however. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
