  • The first couple to be shown in bed together on prime time TV were Fred and Wilma Flintstone
  • Coca-Cola was originally green
  • 111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321
  • In Scotland, a new game was invented. It was entitled Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden.... and thus the word GOLF entered into the English language.
  • It was the accepted practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in- law with All the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer and because their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the honey month we know today as the honeymoon.

oh, dear...I am not nit-picking (really!) - but I am quite surprised you posted this list of "facts" without checking or knowing how factual they are...just knowing how you are :)

Flintstones = false

Green Coke = false

GOLF = false

I have received copies of this list of "facts" on official corporate newsletters at my jobs in the past, and knowing a couple of them were false I was always dismayed to know the people responsible for running the company (and getting paid at least 3 times what I was) would just throw info out as fact straight from an e-mail forward without double-checking. That was a very large run-on sentence, and I apologize. :p

Just sprucing up the board since no one is posting anymore... oh look, it worked! :mrgreen:

Actually, they were found on a website (more than one, usually), so that is where I picked them up at. I was going to state the fact that Coke was actually... coke :D
