Odd factoids

[Ming the Merciless]

The top of Kilimanjaro used to be jagged like a traditional mountain peak but is now flat, with a raised crease round the edge.

 

[Threevok]

Mount Kilimanjaro was named after the first person in the world, to be drowned in jam

 

[Drago]

Jam was invented by the French as an accompaniment to Marmite.

 

[Bonefish Blues]

Which is in itself ironic since Marmite is made by fermenting Frenchmen's hosiery. The more liquid part is strained off bottled and marketed as Lea and Perrin's.

 

[Threevok]

The Cajun equivalent of Marmite is Parmite

 

[Drago]

Cajun is nothing more than the scrapings and scratchings that are created as a byproduct of fish and chip production, deep fried and sprinkled in curry powder.

 

[Threevok]

Fish and Chips were invented in Seascale, along with Readybreak

In 1973 the parents of 11 year old Cedric Hipplethwaite successfully sued the makers of Ready Brek after their son conspicuously failed to glow jn the dark.

 

[Threevok]

Glowing in the dark (or Bioluminescence / Chemiluminescence) was only discovered in 1846.

Before this, people walked around in the dark with their eyes shut, for daylight saving purposes

 

[Bonefish Blues]

Ready Brek successfully defended the 1973 action on the grounds that young Cedric had always been a dull little sod, and it was beyond their power to light him up, short of a gallon of kerosene and a box of Swan Vesta. Cedric's parents missed their son, but agreed that he'd gone up splendidly after they accepted Ready Brek's offer.

The moon is made out of Ready Brek on the side facing the Earth. The dark side is cheese. It is thought to be an alien refuelling station.

The moon is made out of Ready Brek

Is that why it glows in the dark.

Apropos of Moons and Stars, I think you are mistaken. Shawn Colvin produced a documentary showing the truth of the matter:

[Drago]

The moon was invented in Moscow in 1877, by the communist leader Jerzi Corbynski. It was conceived as a superior, brighter communist alternative to the decadent capitalist sun. Unfortunately, due to poor quality materials and couldn't-care-less communist era workmanship, it was a failure.

The Mos Cow is descended from Attila the Cow and rules over all of Russia.
