More people are killed by cocanuts falling from trees than shark attacks.

 

There are more english speaking people in china than in the USA.

 

Imagine how annoyed you'd be if you survived a shark attack, dragged yourself up onto the beach only to have a coconut fall on your head.

Captain James T. Kirk never said "Beam me up , Scotty".

and Mae West never said "Come up and see me some time"

 

I feed my dogs chocolate at times!!!
Unlike europe, most 'chocolate' sold in this country doesn't actually contain much real chocolate. You can still kill a dog with UK chocky but you'd need quite a lot of it. Probably cheaper to bash Rover over the head with a cricket bat.

Some schizophrenics fall into a 'catatonic stupor'. This means that they will freeze in one position, sometimes for so long that their fingers and toes will start turning blue/black.

 

Attempting to move someone in this condition may result in: (a) stubborn resistance to being moved (b) a violent attack © 'waxy flexibility' (he/she can be 'posed' like a shop mannequin).

 

 

Edited for spelling - the shame!

Wow! That'd be worth the risk just to see if you could get them to do a camp stance!

Fitness nutcase Jack Lalanne celebrated each birthday with a special age-defying and barmy feat:

 

At 41, he swam from Alcatraz to Fisherman's Wharf (notoriously difficult in itself) wearing handcuffs

 

At 60, he repeated this, but added shackles to the handcuffs and towed a 1,000 lb boat, too.

 

At 70, again handcuffed, he towed 70 boats holding a total of 70 people for 1.5 miles across Long Beach harbour

 

The last one was broadcast live on ABC, others appeared on the long-running 'Jack LaLanne show'.

He was planning on celebrating his recent 90th birthday with a 26 mile underwater swim until his wife threatened to divorce him if he tried.

Apparently, they're called 'Ivorians', both by themselves and others.

I wonder if that means that when Ghana was the 'Gold Coast', the inhabitants were 'Goldians'? :werd:
