40 Fascinating Facts That People Only Learned Now And Just Had To Share With Others (New Pics)

I ask for eternal life, if you please sire

I mean all he had to do was look up the riddle /s

They were quite the opposite. Usually they were, due to the joking nature of their speech, the only people who, within reasons, could speak relatively freely. Being always at the court, they often also were experts on current politics and well informed.

I remember it being used in a Three Stooges short. It was hilarious.

Just like short women are usually the bîtchiest ones with the rudest attitudes. And before any of you fückwads start to downvote me for my comment, remember that nobody likes a double-standard.

Don't body shame, you wouldn't do the same to women's body parts. Men can't help what they are born with, why make them feel ashamed of something they can't change?

Imagine the backlash if it was a man making offensive remarks about women. Double standards here you preach love freedom for all no body shaming but no sir f**k all men.

Like a lack of intellect? I find this is quite common among politicians... the more ignorant they are, the louder they spew their nonsense.

can confirm it is true im very loud when i talk

That's sexist

Heh you ask to check their balls when they speak too loud? And they let you?

Humans behaving just like other apes do, too, doesn't really surprise. The less you are, the more blingblingery you show off. I'm, like, not stunned at all.

LMAO!

Trump is the loudest of them all!

I'm just here to see the stupid libs say stupid things haha! You did not disappoint

That right there is the perfect comment.

Only screenplays though, printed versions aren't included in the hospital's license

I'm really impressed with Great Ormond Street Hospital! For Red Nose Day one year, Alex Brooker re-toured it, talking about his memories of being there, and how well he and his parents were treated. It was really emotional and beautiful.

Only in the UK. The Copyright Designs and Patents Act (CDPA) of 1988 extended the copyright period of Peter Pan, but it is an UK law not valid elsewhere. In the rest of EU the copyright on Peter Pan expired on 31 December 2007, while in USA the copyright for the screenplay is expected to expire in December 2023 (the actual validity of the claim has been disputed, but the deadline is so close no one is bothering anymore) while the novel is already in public domain. In Mexico the copyright is going to be valid until 2037 for both book and screenplay. Really looking forward to that bandido-themed mexican take on PP.

My mum was born there. She was named Wendy after the character!

Interesting. :)

Yes, from Friendy-wendy

The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one.

Oh, we'll land on Mars. We just won't colonize it. Because at the level of technological advancement to make colonization of Mars makes sense for anything other than some niche, we could have 400 billion happy, healthy, nature-loving, well-fed people on Earth.

I feel that maybe you should watch the science channel a little more.

One doesn't have to land a human on Mars to make the idea look outdated. The landers proved that there aren't any "Martians". Note Star Trek came out in 1966, and Viking 1 landed on Mars in 1975.

Where can I get tickets for that trip?

I'll volunteer for that mission

Though we didn't go ourselves, we send machines to investigate and they're doing a great job

Avoiding Mars products in favor of more sustainable, healthier and responsible options FTW.

Right? I mean how can we expect to land on Mars until we at least get to the moon?

I volunteer for that mission.

Flat Earther?

nah I reckon five years max.

Is that how many episodes where Kirk gets his shirt ripped. That's too funny. I swear, every single time he gets into a fight, he gets his shirt ripped, one way or the other. Not only that, but he has to kiss just about any female guests they have on the show. One exception that I could think of is the, The Lights of Zetar, episode where Scotty fell in love with a female scientist.

That's not what it says. There's two facts, and they are not linked (other than being about elephants' trunks). A trunks is strong, very strong. And the second fact is, a trunk can be used for precision work.

How did this get so many upvotes when it's so egregiously incorrect?
