Harry, like most of the Royals, is famously dim, and his his case was only any good at art at school - he was an artist.
He is a massive R&B fan though, and, as Royals do, got to meet his hero. Harry was going through a teenage rebellious phase at the time, so insisted on renouncing his official title.
So impressed was the RnB star with the young Harry that he adopted his introduction as his new stage name - "The artist formerly known as Prince".
Harry also changed his name by deedpole in tribute and is actually "Squiggle Windsor" on all official documents.

The Diplodocus has the largest known penis of any creature throughout the earth's history. So prodigious was the member in the first specimen found, the dinosaur was named dick-lodocus (literally "unfeasible phallus lizard").
When the fossil was given to the Natural History museum, the curator did not dare allow Queen Victoria to set eyes on the monstrous member, so had it removed and separately displayed as a jurassic sea serpent instead - the pleasure-osaur aka "plesiosaur". The diplodocus, alas, acquired its reduced modern name as part of the cover up.
Ever since, by remarkable coincidence, only female diplodoci have ever been unearthed. Apparently.

Before e-bikes, Raleigh produced the nuclear bike, known as the n-bike.
Nuclear powered bikes proved extremely expensive and difficult to manufacture the components for, and their use was very limited due to the amount of radiation they emitted. Additionally, nuclear powered bikes were very heavy, making them difficult to manoeuvre.
For these reasons the bike was discontinued
