In laboratory conditions it was actually proved that 9 out of 10 boys go to Kelis's back garden after drinking a milk shake made by her, and thus she is legally able to make the statement that her milkshake brings all the boys to the yard, as the 10th boy is still undecided on his yard-going

The Sylvanian Family of children's toys was originally called the Sylvian Family ; their creator, Hugh Booster-Flush, was a gay designer who had a schoolboy crush on David Sylvian leader singer of eary 80's New Romatic combo Japan. Unfortunately, the factory producing the packaging for first consignment of figures spelled the name incorrectly. Owner MB Games at first considered having everything re-done but then decided it would be too costly and stuck with the Sylvanian monicker. The sad footnote to this story is that a heartbroken Booster-Flush, who saw the figures as the ultimate tribute to the deep-voiced singer once described as the "most beautiful man in the world", was so distraught that he threw himself off Brighton Pier while listening to Tin Drum on his Sony Walkman.

Further proof that the world is nuts!

In Lebanon, men are legally allowed to have sex with animals, but
the animals must be female. Having sexual relations with a male
animal is punishable by death. (Like THAT makes sense.)
-------------------------------------------------------
In Bahrain, a male doctor may legally examine a woman's genitals, but is
prohibited from looking directly at them during the examination. He
may only see their reflection in a mirror.
Do they look different reversed?)
------------------------------------------------------
Muslims are banned from looking at the genitals of a corpse. This also
applies to undertakers. The organs of the deceased must be covered
with a brick or piece of wood at all times.
(A brick??)
-----------------------------------------------------
The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is decapitation.
Much worse than "going blind!")
-----------------------------------------------------
There are men in Guam whose full-time job is to travel the
countryside and deflower young virgins, who pay them for the
privilege of having sex for the first time...
Reason: Under Guam law, it is expressly forbidden for virgins to marry.
(Let's just think for a minute; is there any job anywhere else in the
world that even comes close to this?)
---------------------------------------------------
In Hong Kong, a betrayed wife is legally allowed to kill her
adulterous husband, but may only do so with her bare hands. The
husband's lover, on the other hand, may be killed in any manner desired.
(Ah! Justice!)
---------------------------------------------------
Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool, England - but only in
tropical fish stores.
(But of course!)
---------------------------------------------------
In Cali, Colombia, a woman may only have sex with her husband, and the
first time this happens, her mother must be in the room to witness
the act.
(Makes one shudder at the thought.)
---------------------------------------------------
In Santa Cruz, Bolivia, it is illegal for a man to have sex with a
woman and her daughter at the same time.
(I presume this was a big enough problem that they had to pass this law?)
---------------------------------------------------
In Maryland, it is illegal to sell condoms from vending machines with
one exception: Prophylactics may be dispensed from a vending machine
only "in places where alcoholic beverages are sold for consumption on
the premises."
(Is this a great country or what? Not as great as Guam!)
---------------------------------------------------
The ant can lift 50 times its own weight, can pull 30 times its own
weight and always falls over on its right side when intoxicated.
(From drinking little bottles of...? How did the govt. pay for this
research??)
---------------------------------------------------
Butterflies taste with their feet.
(Ah, geez)
---------------------------------------------------
An ostrich's eye is bigger than it's brain.
(I know some people like that.)
---------------------------------------------------
Starfish don't have brains.
(I know some people like that, too)
--------------------------------------------------
And, the best for last..... Turtles can breathe through their arse.
(And you think you have bad breath?)

Whilst most people have heard of Gotham City’s caped crusader, few are aware of the inspiration behind our hero’s name.

Creator Bob Kane was thumbing through old newpaper crime reports, when he stumbled upon the bizarre case of Walter D Elkin, who was dubbed “The Batman” by local crime hacks. Elkin (32) was arrested by members of the NYPD in Central Park, for “pleasuring himself, whilst inserting Pipistrelle bats into his rectum”.

Whether the name Robin was similarly inspired, remains unknown.

The Aztec Monkey God Quzetacocal used to bathe every day in molten brass, and then one fine day the Spanish invaded. A leading Conquistador, Fred, found the big Q hiding in a cooking pot.
Fred took a liking to Q and took him back to Spain with him. Fred & Q became very close over the years, and one of Fred's favourite pastimes was to keep Q's brass coat nice & shiny.
Anyways, one August morning Fred got a brochure through the door advertising sight-seeing tours to see the Fog on the Tyne (all mine, all mine). He was so excited that he booked a pair of first class tickets to Newcastle.
It was a slow boat and took 4 months to get to Newcastle :(
Fred & Q hadn't been to England before, and had only packed clothes suitable for a Spanish summer.
But looking through the portholes on the boat, they could see all the locals wandering around in t-shirts and v short skirts.
They both rushed out of their cabin to to see the fog and greet the locals. In their hurry however Q fell off the gangplank and into the icy waters below.
Fred had just been shining Q's balls, so they were quite warm at the time, so when they fell in the water the extreme temperature change caused his balls to shatter :eek:
thus the phrase "Cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey" was coined

In the Latvian town of Beschmirk, its actually illegal to go 'woooo' when the certificate comes up at the start of a movie in the cinema....

Repeat offenders are strapped naked to a yak, and dragged around the town, and are not released until they either they repent their sins, or the yak dies of exhaustion........

The phrase “like a rat up a drainpipe” was first coined in relation to squeaky voiced, short arse Tom Cruise who was caught with a small rodent up his very tight trousers in the early eighties.

As a side point, the Latvian town of Beschmirk also has the lowest mortality rate for yaks in the world.........

the popular phrase like shooting fish in a barrel, came about during the filming of a Marillion video.

halfway through the shoot the lead singer, Fish, climbed into a barrel and refused to get out.

however this actually made the filming a lot easier as no lighting, make-up etc was needed for Fish.
et voila, "like shooting fish in a barrel" was coined :p

Geoff Capes has spent the past 19 days with a pencil and paper and a Granny Smith in front of him in order to prove the title of this thread as untrue.......

He has so far been unsuccesful, though the Great Soprendo did do a strikingly accurate Mango.

The first planes were created when a bored Wilbur Wright glued hundreds of bees to a plank of wood.
whilst he was sitting on the plank wondering what to do next, the bees frenzied wing flapping caused the plank to rise 0.24 inches from the ground.
so the idea for the plane was born..

Imelda Marcos had such bad foot odour that she could only wear a pair of shoes once. After each was worn it was thrown in a purpose built cupboard complete with industrial extractor fans and 'christmas tree' air freshners.

Tests have shown that most people find that, contrary to the old adage, revenge is best served lukewarm.

in an interesting development, Dawn French was brought in to see if fat women could draw apples.
however every time the researcher placed an apple for Dawn to draw, she ate it, proclaiming "it's not terry's, it's mine"

George W. Bush will only eat food that is beige in colour. He ate 'that pretzel' with his eyes closed and upon opening them and seeing it was brown, panicked, choked and passed out.

When playing Cluedo, a gibbon will always choose to be Colonel Mustard, in what has become known in monkey board games circles as ' The Mustard Effect'

The rumours that Orang-Utangs always buy Park Lane and Mayfair in monopoly are as yet unproven.
