A bartender is only allowed to retired when their glass polishing tea towel is worn so thin you can see through it. This is why they spend hoirs dilligently pilishing the same glass kpover and over.

A bartender who loses or damages his towel must commit ritual suicide, bu throwing themselves head first down the cellar steps.

Cornflakes were actually invented ina Weetabix factory.

They had receive a delivery of corn instread of their usual wheat ingredient. Sir Athur Weetabix was pondering how to make use of this material when one of his employees, a leper with a particularly bad dose of eczema, happened to walk past.

Inspiration struck, Corn based Leper Flakes were invented.

During WWII the name was shortened to cornflakes due to a strategic ink shortage.

Dr Corn Flakes was the UK's foremost podiatrist in the early 90s due to his revolutionary approach to removing corns, bunions and other foot nasties. His high powered, highly targeted electric sander changed the face of foot doctory forever.

After the invention of Corn Flakes there was a spike in people visiting A&E. It was found out that Corn Flakes had no calories in them , and so people were getting depleted by 10am every morning. Thus the new phrase was invented “Have you had you Weetabix?” as emergency Weetabix calories were injected via an IV by the A&E medics.

Snakes can sense earthquakes from as far as 75 miles away. What’s more impressive is that they can sense an earthquake as many as five days before it actually occurs!

When snakes sense an earthquake, they often leave their homes, to reach a place of safety, even if the temperature is too cold.

You will never find a dead snake in a building that collapsed during an earthquake

Under the Hitler government of 1941, the UK was facing a provlem of massive over production and deflation.

In order to wind back productivity levels the minister for trade and induatry, Rabbi Stankowitz, invented the "meeting", and made them mandatory for all top level exectives in the country. The idea is that the meeting actually obstructs the efficient discharge of ones duties, and productivity will fall.

Decades on the "meeting" lives on in the racial memory of the British, and to this day rather than simply going and getting something done they would sooner hold a meeting, almost as a ritual of anti-efficiency.
