A lesser known fact about Tom Jones is he amassed his huge personal wealth by being quite thrifty. He had his roadies wash all the ladies underwear thrown onto the stage at his performances and then gave them to his wife so she needn't buy her own.

As noted earlier in the thread, Koalas aren't bears but are in fact a sort of fruit. Therefore the Australian snack mentioned above also forms part of your five a day.

As also earlier mentioned, Koala Bears are known as Drop Bears. If they are made of fruit, then they can be known as Fruit Drops, and tend to be lemon flavoured.

In medieval times, people were so poor that they relied on hand outs or would borrow.

If they found they couldn't pay, the usual threat was a hex from the local wizard, who would use a variety of symbols and tokens to create fear in the debtor.

One technique involved nailing Laurus nobilis, to the main entrance, which has lead to the fear of finding the bay leaf at the door.

Bear Grills became fashionable due to a shortage of raw materials creating a rapid increase in the cost of bear ovens.

To Be Rid of Pesky Neighbours

(1) Take a black candle and incise the person's name on it three times, starting from the bottom so that the name "goes away" from you. Dress the candle with water, sugar or honey. Burn for 30 minutes on each of three consecutive mornings.

(2) Take a small jar. Write your neighbour's name nine times on a piece of paper and put this in the jar. Fill the jar with Four Thieves Vinegar and throw it into a river.

Some members of online discussion forums are unaware that they are replicants.

Discussion forums were originally real forums, invented by the Romans. As the technology did not exist then to edit posts or ban users, troublemakers were fed to the lions.

In the early days Mediterrainean Lions were known as P&CA's. They are now an extinct breed.
