GnR989 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Whistles were first used by newly wed couples in the 1800s to inform other family members when they were about to partake in sexual intercourse. This is where the terminology "give us a blow" comes from 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banana Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 "Astronaut" Tim Peake doesn't have a valid passport, rendering his recent trip to "outer space" as invalid. Tax officials will be waiting for him on his return to the UK. Peake was originally scheduled to return in August, but fears he'd be stranded in space given a Leave Brexit result hastened his return. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonD Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Mike and Bernie Winters were actually Morecambe and Wise in disguise, as an experiment to see if they could make people laugh at their material and not just at their personalities.

pittsburgh phil Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Mike and Bernie Winters were actually Morecambe and Wise in disguise, as an experiment to see if they could make people laugh at their material and not just at their personalities. (They couldn't.) Shnorbitz actually died in a freak defenestration incident early in Bernie Winters' tenure. In all subsequent tv appearances he was portrayed by pint sized R2D2 actor Kenny Baker in a dog suit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bairn Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Due to a freak genetic accident, Mike and Bernie Winters are BOTH Robbie Winters biological father. However David Winters was fathered only by Bernie, meaning Robbie and David are the only people in the world that are biologically three-quarters brothers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonD Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider have discovered that on ten separate occasions since the beginning of the twentieth century, time-travellers from the future have changed history. Analysis of recently-discovered chroniton particles have revealed that in the original timeline, Hibs actually won the Scottish Cup every time they appeared in the final, but within a few weeks action was taken to reverse the result. They anticipate that before long similar action will be taken over this year's final, and everyone will remember a Rangers victory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonD Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 One of the Marx Brothers invented an important component used in the Mercury space programme. Hedy Lamarr invented a guidance system for torpedoes which is still used today in Bluetooth devices. R2-D2 actor Kenny Baker's grandfather invented a device for fetching tins off a high shelf. The mother of Mike Nesmith from the Monkees invented correction fluid. Note: only one of the above facts is made up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was originally going to be called TipXi, but had to change its name during the prohibition due to misleading hundreds of secret revelers to their deaths. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 (edited) If all of Scotland's public roads were laid out end to end, the total length produced would equate to half the distance between us and the Moon. Eta (simply because my mum genuinely believed this at one point): Felix Baumgartner jumped to Earth from the Moon.
