Disney's "The Never Ending Story" sparked 28 lawsuits from customers who were furious that the movie had an end.

In the 1400's a law was set forth in England that a man was allowed to beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb. Hence we have 'the rule of thumb'

Many years ago in Scotland , a new game was invented. It was ruled 'Gentlemen Only...Ladies Forbidden'...and thus the word GOLF entered into the English language.

The first couple to be shown in bed together on prime time TV were Fred and Wilma Flintstone.

Every day more money is printed for Monopoly than the U.S. Treasury.

Men can read smaller print than women can; women can hear better.

Coca-Cola was originally green.

Intelligent people have more zinc and copper in their hair.

The first novel ever written on a typewriter: Tom Sawyer.

The San Francisco Cable cars are the only mobile National Monuments.

Each king in a deck of playing cards represents a great king from history:

Spades - King David
Hearts - Charlemagne
Clubs -Alexander, the Great
Diamonds - Julius Caesar

111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321

Well I never knew that!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Well you did ask.  ( CAUTION warning for Little Miss Vamps on links 2 and 3 would advize you check 1st Mike.  :y )


It's claimed that a 1,000-pound horse will produce 11,315 lbs of manure per year, and 50% to 60% of that manure is moisture content.

It's said that elephants produce THIRTY TIMES the amount that horses do, so the average elephant MIGHT create 339,450 pounds of it (over 169 TONS) in a typical year, and because it is prized among gardeners (for fertilizer) selling the manure could prove very lucrative for an elephant owner.

You might wish to contact The Ringling Brothers Circus for a more accurate quote on the above figures, or your local zoo might have some relevant information on that subject.

Here's how elephant "doo-doo" is "manufactured." (Note the HUMAN LEGS sticking out from underneath that pile, on the extreme left-hand side.):

Thank's for that..... ::) ::) ::) It's 20Kg per day acording to Miss Vamps, and the book.

The book,  'How Much Poo Does an Elephant Do' is a children's book full of 'interesting facts'  which we suspect is where many of the original 'facts' came from as Miss Vamps recognised them...... :D :D :D

Lemon juice is better, remember the jiff squeezy lemons, sqirt one of those at and hopefully you wont ever see it again.

Sprinkle some pepper where they poop and spray some jaye's fluid round the paths.   :y
