Telephone boxes were a type of novelty public urinal. Sadly, some people really thought they were working phones and held the piss stained receivers to their ear ad they attempted to make calls.

Rasputin was Vladimir Putin's great great great grandad. In a tribute to his hero, he asked his father to book Boney M for his 16th birthday. An early version of their later released hit We Killed the World is said to have informed his political philosophy.

Thanks to Boney M, we know Mary's boy-child Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day.
Before 1978, everyone thought Jesus was born on Pancake day, despite constant reminders by Harry Belefonte since 1957

After Boney M's 1979 concert in Sopot, international experts are still trying to work out who gets the tax from the royalties generated by Dutch singers from an Island off South America, in a German band, singing an English song about a Russian guy, while wearing Asian outfits, and filmed in Poland

The phrase "completely cuckoo" comes from the inventor of vaccines, Edward Jenner.
Famously as nutty as a fruitcake, he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society for his work on the nesting and migration of the Cuckoo, rather than his vaccination work, hence the phrase "completely cuckoo", originally meaning "As mad as that mad bastarrd Edward Jenner"
