I've just noticed at the bottom of the page, why did the forum have the most users online at once on Valentine's Day? (and why am I still awake??)
Are we a bunch of lonely queers lol
Does anyone else have any random facts or things they've noticed they'd like to contribute?
Oh, I've also been told that apparently yawning is contagious cos you subconsciously want to be liked by the other person, so you imitate them. Saying that, someone did try to convince me once that it had something to do with the air pressure in the room changing cos someone else had yawned! haha

Perk of working at the National Railway Museum- time was standardised across Britain so that trains got to different stations at the right time. Fact. Jeni smells.

I would add, I've never seen a cartoon with LGBT characters; Mickey Mouse blushed of love not for the expected Minnie but for Donald Duck, etc. Unfortunately, cartoons seem to make part of the undeclared campaign to suppress gay feelings; sort of an "american dream", etc. A subtle brainwashing for generations.

A 'morning glory' is caused by a full bladder from the night pushing on your prostate not horniness, so consider that when you think your morning partner is up for it!

chess was invented by the arabs and 'check mate' was actually originally 'al-sheikh maet' which means 'the sheikh's dead'

Some women can be born with more than two X chromasome, so they can have XXX and then if that have a daughter they will have XXXX and then XXXXX and so on. making them super women, usualy with showing an exagerated hour-glass figure and also a bit more muscular and inteligent
if u injected the exact amount of all the chemicals found in 1 cig, rather than smoking it u'd die instantly

Flamingos can only eat with their heads upside down.
Ohh. And if you started counting, saying one number per second, it would take 33 years to count to 1 billion. So, billionaires must have made many pounds/dollars per second to get where they are.
[brief pause for Googlage]
Bill Gates began Microsoft in 1975 and at one point was worth 100 billion (it's now down to 55 billion, sad times). So, that's roughly 25 years. Even if he worked a perpetual 14 hour day, that's still $300 per second. Isn't that scary?
Esp. when I am currently chuffed to be on Ł10 per hour.
wow!! super women. thats my favourite so far. mmm, like real life lara croft.
haha fin, its PI not PIE. hehehe sorry that make me laugh. mmm, pie.
did you know that the odd expression 'hair of the dog' comes from the medieval belief that following a bite from a dog, rubbing it on the wound would make sure you didnt get rabies....or something like that.
It's a bit misleading. A burning cigarette combusts the chemicals (half of which never make it to your mouth but drift into the room from the cigarette end). Even from the inhaled stuff, only a small quanitiy gets through the alveoli. Only a fraction would ever make it to your blood stream - and would do so gradually. So injecting all the chemicals at once is really an entirely different scenario.
That said, smoking is bad. Shame on you. It the millenium for goodness sake! Shame, shame. Poppy shame!
oh dont say that, smokings my favourite pleasure...
i just wanted to state for the record that this wasnt me, although i do love my nicotine
another random fact for u that i read in an article in the independent yesterday
during the napoleonic wars the people of hartlepool came across a boat washed up in the harbour with no one on it except a monkey. Since no one from the town had ever seen a frenchman before and the french at the time were depicted as monkeys in cartoons, the locals thought the monkey was a frenchman. They took it to court, tried it and hung it. Not sure whether thats true but apparently it is.
did u know that cyanide and arsenic are made from apples. If u crush apple seeds in a cup and put the juices in someones drink, with enough of it they'll die of arsenic poisoning

The top 6 inches of water in any public pool (such as jacuzzi's & swimming pools) is a layer of sweat, skin, hair, urine, blood, semen.... mmmmmm

The bacterium that causes leprosy Mycobacterium leprae can't be grown in labs yet due to its complexity so Armadillos are used to cultivate it as it spreads between them easily, whereas it's far less infectious in other animals like mice and rhesus monkeys.
Poor armadillos! Reminds me of dime bars... not had one of those for ages!

That's sick? What about all the people who drive BMWs? Think of all the children they could save if they bought a 206. Not to mention the drop in pollution. Or the ugly people who buy Armani? (Beautiful people just need it.)
I have often asked myself - why not give all non-essential income to charity? It's because I want cool stuff. Everyday I choose cool stuff over starving orphans. I often think it would be nice to live in a commune, take a vow of poverty and donate my Fleet Street salary to skinny people in hot countries. Cool stuff has alot to answer for.
How do you guys reconcile our opulent lifestyles in relation to third world poverty?
you seemed to have missed the point, if you are giving money to charity, who would you give it to blind dogs, when there are childern straving, lets not bring armarni into this lol.
your eyes are the same size all the way though your life
No! No! Sir. You are skirting the issue! Choosing a charity is fraught with difficulty because of all the bureaucracy. Who can be trusted? And, be it man, woman, child or animal, responding to the needs of others can only be good karma; extending our capacity for altruism. It is the buying of cool stuff for our damnably selfish selves which cannot be reconciled.
my statement was only concerning orphans over dogs, nothing else!
there is a branch of zoology called cryptozoology where you can be given grants to hunt for animals like the giant mongolian death worm, or dragons or the yeti
nope, but i will be applying for a grant to try to find a giant sloth in south america in a few years, so if we ahve any enterprising young gays who would like to join me, please get in contact...must be fit and with lose morals
The song 'Here we go round the mulberry bush' originated from West Riding House of Correction 1595 (now HMP Wakefield) when it added a wing which was a boys penitentary, during free time they'd run around the mulberry bush in the prison grounds singing that.
The move on from that.... The mulberry bush is still in the grounds now, its well over 400yrs old.
