Pages were invented by shaun in 1829. Prior to then the internet was ome giant, enormous, single page and navigation was by means of scrolling up/down/left/right. After 3 days this became unusable due to amount of pictures of Frenchmen being hanged as pirates, and this inspired our leader to create the concept of pages.
Sadly, Shaun never lived to profit from his invention. He was caught enjoying a glass of red wine for breakfast - he was taking it as a hangover cure - and was immediately accused of being French and was hanged for being a pirate.

The Pirates of Penzance were really Moorish invaders from Casblanca who invaded Cornwall to carry off Anglo Saxon women after seeing how Ingrid Bergman managed to cross frontiers without going through security checks.

Anglo Saxons are descended from the Angle Sextents; the tribe that built all the trig points we see throughout the land.

Trig points were invented so that boring old farts with nothing else to do in life could ride round the country and tick them off their list.

Thelfth Night is inappropriately named, seeing as it was set during the lunchtime of the 13th Day. However, Francis Bacon, writing under the pseudonym of Bill Shake-His-Spear (a traditional Zulu name) had a very dry sense of humour. The follow up play, 48hrs, was adapted into a film starring Eddie Murphy.

Eddie Murphy won the Victoria Cross for sticking a banana up the exhaust pipe of the Zulu king at Ishlandwana.

Eddie appropriately went on to play an Ass in that other Shakespeare play Shrek.
