Apples are more effective in waking you up in the morning than coffee.

The word “gorilla” is derived from a Greek word meaning, “a tribe of hairy women”

Apples? I wish you would tell that to the pigeon that keeps waking me up at stupid o'clock

100 years ago the rich owned the cars while the poor had horses. Now everyone has a car while only the rich own horses.
There’s no physical evidence to say that today is Tuesday. We just have to trust someone who kept the count since the first one ever.

Pint-sized actor Danny Devito fell foul of the musicians Union in this country after the video for 'When the going gets tough(the tough get going)'by Billy Ocean(the main song from the film The Jewel of the Nile) was shown on Top of the Pops and had him playing an outsized saxaphone(of course he was miming) but it was argued that they should show the real saxophonist actually playing it. When it was shown again, a second version was used showing the original saxophonist playing even though you can see Devito about to pick it up.

Top of the Pops was mimed as we all remember but one memorable time was when the Communards were No.1 with 'Don't Leave Me This Way' and Jimmy Somerville and Sarah-Jane Morris decided to swap voices so Jimmy sang as her, and Sarah sang as him. The director/producer Michael Hurll was not impressed but it was quite funny.

In China children are expected to look after their parents and grandparents and if they don't they can be sued. I think the same happens with Japanese children(seeing as their parents spoil them rotten over there) It's not just a case of should be build a granny flat or add-on for ma & pa or grandpa or grandma - you DO build it.

Did you know the film White Men Can't Jump is translated in some countries as White Men Can't Get it Up!

Things to make you go hmm
McDonald’s once made bubblegum-flavoured broccoli.
The original oranges from Southeast Asia were a tangerine-pomelo hybrid, and they were actually green. In fact, oranges in warmer regions like Vietnam and Thailand still stay green through maturity.
There’s only one letter that doesn’t appear in any U.S. state name...Q!
A cow-bison hybrid is called a “beefalo”
Scotland has 421 words for “snow”
Armadillo shells are bulletproof. In fact, one Texas man was hospitalized when a bullet he shot at an armadillo ricocheted off the animal and hit him in the jaw.

British tv producer Cynthia Felgate holds the record for the most prolific number of programmes to her name-she mostly did children's tv like Play School, Play Away etc but the most fascinating thing is that she beat the US producer, Aaron Spelling(co-producing for tv with Leonard Goldberg) who did Starsky & Hutch and other popular adult stuff in the late 70's and 80's. She is listed in the Guinness Book of Records should you want to look it up.
