I didn't know that

Today I learned that chimpanzees beds are case cleanser than human beds with far less bacteria, parasites and fecal matter.

I learnt the other way it's apparently illegal to park on the road overnight with your car facing into the direction of traffic. Probably hundreds of thousands of cars contravening this every single night in the UK.

It's a common law elsewhere in the world, but I didn't realise it was also law in the UK. Other countries obviously adhere to it more!

That people, pre Diana, who were injured in, or lost family members in, a tragic disaster didn't exploit their misfortune

To be fair, this isn't about protecting the ruling classes from satire, It is about protecting the institution of Parliament.

You can satire the ruling classes as much as you like in any other context as long as it isnt actually defamatory etc(Not the nine o'clock news anybody)

You just can't use actual footage of parliamentary proceedings to do so. and that's fair enough. Its not so different from contempt of court if you think about it. Even if one day we were allowed to televise court cases I doubt very much that you would ever be allowed to use the footage obtained to make fun of them.

It's nothing like contempt of court, mocking politicians using publicly broadcast footage has no effect on the running of parliament whereas contempt of court risks destroying court cases.

To add to this... if they fall from higher than 4 floors they almost always live, because of the terminal velocity.

I don’t trust cats

There has been some debate about your second “fact”

Is it not now common knowledge after so many episodes and spin-offs of NCISCSI: Miami-New York-Nevada-Las Vegas-Delaware-Internet-Holland-Stornoway-Stoneybridge?

Don't they have people giving an almost exact time of death from a 30 second examination of the body? I see a lot of that in fiction. It's complete nonsense, but it's part and parcel of the "CSI solves all the crimes" thing.
