Odd factoids

I though there were originally going to 15 commandments, but Moses being a good advocate, was able to tell his people "the good news is I've negotiated him down to 10. The bad news is adultery is still in"

The lake where they filmed Dirty Dancing has dried up.

Dirty Dancing was in fact very clean. There was no swearing, and Patrick Swayze showered every Sunday, whether he needed it or not.

Grass is not actually green.....it is red. If you look at it in the pitch black, with absolutely no artificial light then it is really bright red. As soon as any light (natural or artificial) gets on it, it takes on the green colour.

Ever wondered why so many churches are called "All Saints"?

It was part of a forgotten promotion by the Church of England during the 1990s to rebrand churches with falling attendances after the eponymous girl band in an attempt to attract young people to the congregation.
Although initially a success (with a huge launch on Songs of Praise with Aled Jones), once the target audience realised that Shaznay, Nicole, Natalie and Melanie wouldn't actually be attending attendances plummeted and the project was abandoned.
The Archbishop of Canterbury refused to sign off the substantial cost of returning the churches to their original names and they've been known as "All Saints" ever since.

The type in use on lawns or other?

The average lawn has about six grass plants per square inch which means your lawn could have millions of grass plants, and that’s just one lawn!

Probably a made up story.......when an American Soccer player was asked if he liked Astroturf or grass he replied " I don't know, I've never smoked Astroturf" ....

HP Sauce...................named after the Houses of Parliament.

 

[Drago]

Incorrect. HP Sauce was originally sold in an aluminium container charged with CO2, hence High Pressure sauce. Unfortunately, a number of amusing condiment related fatalities caused a ruckus. Things came to a head when one chap was hoovering naked, fell down the stairs and landed on one....and now they're sold in relatively safe glass or plastic bottles as a result.

Is that why it's brown?

 

[colly]

Don't be silly Drago.

The original High Pressure sauce was a commercial failure, for the unfortunate reasons described above. However, the manufacturers had a warehouse full of the stuff, and had to sell it somehow. They successfully did this by aggressively discounting the product, which became known as Half Price sauce.

Grass upon which no light falls is without colour.

Kentucky Bluegrass is in the Yellow Pages.
