Vindicated
Thursday, February 2nd, 2006I was right. The Namibian really couldn’t top the Top Ten famous people and their allergies. In fact, they seem to be in rather a slump. I’m tempted to call them and ask them what they think they’re playing at, the lazy arse bastards. Here are this weeks’ top ten trivia facts:
Tuesday: Some little known facts about words
Wednesday: More little known facts about words
Thursday: Even more little known facts about words
Now I know it’s nice to know that, apparently, Shakespeare invented the word Assassination (although I am somewhat sceptical about this), and that John Milton used 8,000 words in Paradise Lost. I feel enriched, I really do. Being informed that Bill Clinton, Bill Gates and Gerard Depardieu have photographic memories is interesting, although confusing, in the given context.
But they’re hardly out there pounding the streets for interesting and amusing snippets to help us through our day, are they? What happened to the glory days of pig counting?
Does anyone have any suggestions for other top ten facts that I could provide them with as inspiration?
Pop your entries in the box. Most interesting wins a prize. Maybe.
