Fact of the day

Did you know the welsh word for microwave is popity ping (the oven that goes ping-i think?).

Check this, I'm new here but the comments on this page seem apt for this site.

In Germany they call mobile phones 'handys' or something [citation needed]

Yes, it's tragic and true--one of the worst words ever invented. :(

Moreover, Germans tend to pronounce this as 'hendy' because they usually can't pronounce the 'a' in 'handy'.

I wince every time I hear it.

They don't have a word for handy either. So they tend to say "that's mobile".

Fact.

What?!
If ordered a load of 2x4 from timber merchants and they gave me wood measuring 1-1/2" by 3-1/2" I would send it straight back.

It's because the measurement given is the un-planed dimensions. Rough wood is usually 2x4.

Balls is it. If you order 2x4 then that's what you get, unless you ask them to reduce it by 1/4 inch per side.

Which is what makes Velocio's Easter party such a memorable event.

I've never been able to make my self gag I bet I can swallow a whole creme egg no problem.

How much you bet I can't?

Did you know that both male and female hyenas have penises...

It would cost you a lot more that that to make me even consider filming your buttocks.

The myth that Islamic martyrs will receive virgins in heaven is a mistranslation. Apparently the correct translation is 'sweet white raisins'. They're blowing themselves up for a box of Sun Maid ffs!

Seedless, hence the confusion?

No, Islam, not confucian

He looks fucking Ace. Fact.

"It's Friday.

Fun, fun, fun, fun."

Apparently.

The six guns on the front of HMS Belfast are elevated to hurl a 51kg shell at the Days Hotel London North 12 miles away.

HMS Belfast's guns are still operational and all you would need are:

working ammunition
cordite
a six-person crew to man the winches
the firing pin.

You would also need to know how to do this, but apparently this information is helpfully displayed in a video which plays next to the guns.

I have to say I find the absence of an apostrophe in the Days Hotel name rather irritating.
