Hedgecutter Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 TV advert sessions on ITV have remained exactly 5.7 mins long since the creation of Coronation Street. Studies showed that 5.1 mins was the perfect time to let a cup of breakfast tea brew, with the extra 0.6 minute giving sufficient time to add milk / sugar and return to the TV room for the next part. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Northern Scotland six million litres of milk is pumped down from Lochnagar to cope with the milk shortage caused by this. Up until 1997 this was all done manually by one man nicknamed 'milky joe'. Due to the introduction of double episodes he unfortunately could not cope and developed chronic milkers elbow and now manages Clachnacuddin Thistle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellbhoy Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 The egg came before the chicken, well according to Darwinian theory. Dinosaurs evolved into birds and Dinosaurs laid eggs, therefore a chicken eventually evolved after it came out of an egg. I await my Nobel prize. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Man Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 The Northern Lights are an elaborate hoax created to attract visitors to Finland. The original projector which was used to create the illusion of a natural light show in the night sky was invented by Antti Niemi's dad who was a senior figure in the Finnish Tourist Board. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 The Southern Lights were copied by Mark Viduka's Dad but ripped off an idea by Tim Cahill's Dad. The two parents famously fought to the death on top of Ayers Rock. Tim's Dad won and got his revenge and this is commemorated by his corner flag punching goal celebration. During Australia Day every Australian consumes a koala to celebrate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the days of the Soviet Union, Estonia manufactured more shoes for the left foot then anywhere else in the world. .. and in case you are wondering - Turkmenistan had a similar record for the right foot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
