The male then tastes the pee and that helps it determine whether the female is ovulating

Played Major Gowan in Faulty Towers and in WW2 served as a Special Constable in the Metropolitan Police
Now I'd always believed that he was also a court usher at the Nuremberg trials. I don't know where I got that from but it might have been a remark by Cleese, something about the character of his co-star.
It certainly makes sense as a Special would be the type of person that they'd want to employ for that job given who they're likely to usher.
Trouble is that Wikipedia etc doesn't mention Nuremberg so this is unsubstantiated ATM.

Abraham Lincoln probably had a medical condition called Marfans syndrome.
Some of its symptoms are extremely long bones, curved spine, an arm span that is longer than the persons height, eye problems, heart problems and very little fat.
It is a rare, inherited condition.

Monks in the 16th century recorded seeing a giant explosion on the side of the Moon.
It most likely was a large meteor that slammed into the Moon and left a large crater.
It was a good thing the Moon was between us and the meteor!
