Think of the cosmos as a giant highway: this page is where the certainty
stops for a time; think of it almost as a Little Chef for universal truth. The
following facts are answers to some of the questions that have pestered mankind
since most of us first evolved from the apes.
1.
People from Lebanon
2.
Salman Rushdie's signs autographs as 'Salmon R.' in honour of his favourite fish.

3.
Cheese, when melted in a microwave, has up to 33% less saturated fats than eaten straight from the fridge. Similarly, melted cheese delivers a protein boost and creates lactose antioxidants, which makes it a viable superfood
4.
John Candy is actually Dan Akroyd in a fatsuit.
5. Zoological workers and anthropologists estimate that throughout the world, 50 seagulls, 400 dogs, 80 pigs, and up to 50 horses are sexually manipulated by humans per day. No one wants to guess how many sheep are similarly abused.

6.
The Rare 'Rutland England

7.
Tyrannosaurus Rex, though synonymous with terror
today, has been shown to have wiggled provocatively as it walked, making it one of the 'sexier' dinosaurs.

8.
Bono from the band U2 wears a hate to cover his bald spot. Also, he only has sex with people
from the any of the former Yugoslavian
Republics
9. Canadian scientists were amazed to find that due to a genetic anomaly a Common Fox and a Lar Gibbon can produce viable offspring. These creatures, which resemble fruitbats without wings, have never lived longer than a few weeks.

 |
| Definitely a 'fibbox' baby, and not the cutest pig ever. |
10. The world's longest human gestation went on for eighteen years, the baby was born to a woman in a coma, and came into this world 6 feet tall and with stubble.
11. The gene for homophobia, and the gene for being gay-but-in-denial, are ironically, scissored together.
12.
A Victorian emu-farmer called Finton
McNamamara left a goldfish in his bathtub for two weeks while he got its tank repaired. In that fortnight, it grew to be 4 feet long.

13.
A tale of a sausage left near Stone Henge overnight growing legs and crawling around, muttering to itself were largely dismissed as nonsense, until it was photographed by Korean tourists.

14.
Though Stephen Hawking is a genuine paraplegic,
he fakes that robot voice solely for attention.
15.
Michael Jackson left money in his will to "help develop the first fuckable robot"
16. Gorillas are no longer being trained to speak; not because they can't, but because they speak with a grotesque Welsh accent.
"Oh boyo, I could eat another banana" [source]
17.
In the bible, the unreleased book of Derometus
11, which would have come in after Psalms, tells of Jesus' older brother Zeke,
who died aged 15 in a cattle stampede
18. The mako sharks gills can act in much the same way as a musical instrument. With a small piece of alteration, it can function as a fully viable instrument, famous for the distinctive purity of notes. Most famously, the saxophone solo on 'Baker Street' is actually played through a Mako shark.
19. Despite his largely positive public perception now, Bob Geldof
actually wrote to the South African government in the early nineties in an
effort to keep Nelson Mandella in Jail.

20. An owl-faced monkey has the most developed brain of all non-human apes, it also has the most dexterous fingers. If given the right equipment, it can perform any medical operation which you teach it: it has performed a lung transplant so far.
