Odd factoids

[Tenacious Sloth]

I think you'll find the Cordner-Eggleston Cup (played under experimental and Australian Rules) predated the Youdan Cup by 9 years... it can claim to be the first football tournament in the world.

The fish finger was first referenced in the Tamworth Herald in 1900 - 55 years before before Birds Eye and Young's introduced mass produced fish fingers.

Who are you, ‘Conan the Factoid Killer’?

It a well known fact that Chris Froome reads this very thread before every race

He has it prescribed by a team doctor, purely for medicinal reasons.

Any "factoid killer" should be at the least hung drawn and quatered. If REALLY REALLY bad......banned from posting on factoids.

The first ‘quindem’ – a five seater bike, was built in 1940.

Agreed, there's no place for any factoid killers on here

Imagine this board with factoids, or worse, a life without factoids, which is no life at all

Factoidicus maximum would be turning in his grave

Hitler's whole mission against factoids resulted in the invasion of Poland and the destruction of the Danzig Factoid Museum. Churchill, a great admire of factoids, took great umbrage at this, and WWII was born.

Indeed, WW1 only started because Archduke Franz Ferdinand had announced that he was to lobby parliament to ban all factoids, and a young Winston Churchill shot him.

When factoids were first invented all political parties and all governments agreed that every factoid should at the very least sound ever so slightly plausible. Within just 12 months a Roman called Crapicus Factimus was found guilty of breaking that rule and was punished by being hung, drawn and quartered.....then had boiling lead poured down his throat.....then his head was chopped off.....then he was killed.
I am told that the same authorities are right now examining @Drago posts on this very forum.

It is a true fact that I was born with a beard, clutching an NRA membership card, and in her surprise the midwife dropped me on my head.

The letters in the word “factoid” can be rearranged to make the words “fairly true”. But only in Danish.

Philosophers with sore bottoms are usually diagnosed as having factoids.

Is that correct though?

There was disappointment for the spectators at today’s heat of the Giro D’Italia, as the cyclists tackled the climb to the top of Mount Etna. Unfortunately, the caretaker forgot to turn on the lava.

Toothpaste also helps you get rid of that ugly zit on your face. Dab some toothpaste on your pimple at night and watch it disappear in the morning.

That depends on the nature of truth. Of course, a philospher could advise you on that, provided they are not distracted by a painful dose of the Factoids.
