Tell Me Something I Don't Know!

[JimmyJeffers]

Not really. I love humanity from all over the world but feel the need to give some light hearted objectivity to a loud garish, full of themselves nation when I get a chance.

I too hate the English

William the Conqueror's coffin burst open when being put into his tomb, spreading putrefaction and stink in the church - not a lot of people know that.

He was pretty fat by the end, down to greed and laziness. A fitting way to finish especiallly after how he treated the north, effectively creating the north south divide that still exists.

Crab sticks do not actually contain any crab. From 1993 manufacturers have been legally obliged to name them ‘crab flavoured sticks’.

There are no Dutch elms left in Britain.

which is why (I believe) that the royal family have lead lined coffins so when they lie in state for a long period of time, un refrigerated, the putrefaction will stay inside the casket.

In the US they used to have a dog treat called Bacon Strips which they had to rename Beggin' Strips - yes you guessed it......

Something I possibly can't have any knowledge of.

Edit: I'll start.

There used to be this brand of Ice Cream I'd buy at a store on Long Island called New York Ice Cream. Favorite flavor was Niagra Swirl. You can't find even a picture of the brand on the Internet.

….here’s something you clearly don’t know;

we already have a Grouch’s Fact Hunt thread.

Did you know if you take the C out of fact and replace the H in hunt with it,you have a new thread.

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

Tell something to an American (by the sounds of it) that they didn't know.....

1. Geography: where to start - no; I give up
2. Sport - better done without loads of padding, and don't call yourself world champions just because nobody else is invited to join in.
3. You didn't kick our ass in the war of independence, it was pretty much France's efforts.
4. Britain cracked enigma, it wasn't down to a US sub as per the film.
5. Budweiser is a Czech company that's been in existence for hundreds of years and it stinks when a new US firm wants to use the name for itself and tries to sue the original.
6. A US businessman observed the UK discovery and use of penicillin being used to save the lives of soldiers (including US soldiers) in WW2 and patented it. He then demanded the cash-strapped uk government pay HIM for the rights of manufacture for its continued use in the war effort.
7. Some of us outside the US wonder if you have no shame.

Other than all that, you've done some good comedy stuff at times. Ta, like.

It's been over 200 years, get over it you bitter [Poor language removed]...so we precipitated the downfall or your hegemony, so what...you should be thankful history likes to repeat itself.
