Odd factoids

[Ming the Merciless]

An elephant has been stuck up a tree since 13th Nov 2017. Although on that date it was discovered they can climb up trees , it’s since been discovered that they cannot climb down.

It's also been established that that's down to trunk fusion

Trunk roads are surfaced with the skin of dead elephants, hence the name.

You don't want to know what goes into back roads.

 

[Tribansman]

Or rat runs, canal toe paths or even humpback bridges. It's due to be the next horsemeat scandal

B roads are made from holes, but due to shortages they’ve had to lay some tarmac in places.

 

[Drago]

Modern tarmac is made from a mixture of rice crispes and marmite, hence its poor durability.

Old fashioned tarmac was made from ground up depleted uranium mixed in liquid epoxy resin. While the glow in the dark attributes saved on streetlighting costs it had the unfortunate side effect of periodically exploding.

Marmite is made from pureed marmosets and termites. The brown colour used to be a mystery until someone let it slip that the lower intestines of the critturs were not emptied before processing.

Termites are nothing more than fleas who are into bodybuilding and who have been abusing steroids.

MtM said a very funny thing there 😊

Ming the Mercilless is the most inaccurately named CC member.

He is extremely fragrant by virtue of bathin in Brut33 daily, and not at all minging. Mhe is also kind and gentlre, and not remotely merciless. His name is thus an ironic joke, like Jack the Ripper, Mott the Hoople or Boris the Competent.

Mick-elle O'Bama is from County Kilkenny.

 

[Bonefish Blues]

That's the county that really had it in for the eponymous 1970s pop group, who unsurprisingly never took their smash hit 'The Bump' on tour there.

 

[PeteXXX]

The 'B' side of Bump was Boom bang a bang..
Lulu re-released it and scored much more than the UK's usual Nil Points

Lulu was the original red Telletubbie, but was sacked due to all the shouting
