Always love this time of year when things like this are published. They are not necessarily stating they are all true but they are giving the source article for each "fact" which is as interesting as the item itself :)



Some of my favourites:


35. Birmingham City Council blocks the word "commie" from incoming email.

69. Bill Clinton was taught a jujitsu move by his aides to prevent Yassar Arafat hugging him for the cameras.

75. Medieval French cookery book Le Viandier de Taillevent contains a recipe for plucking and basting a live chicken, which is then rocked to sleep and placed on a platter beside two roasted chickens.

Those crazy medieval cooks with their pranks.

Australians got there first ;)
