1) Antarctic dolly-birds, a type of penguin, are turning to prostitution to get vitally needed rocks off their menfolk. On some occasions the prostitute penguins trick the males. They carry out the elaborate courtship ritual, which usually leads to mating. Having bagged the stones needed to build their nest, they would then run off.
2) A gaggle is a group of geese waddling on the ground. The same group up in the air would be renamed skein.
3) In France in the year 1710, a man was spotted having intercourse with a donkey. Several character witnesses were brought in to testify- on behalf of the donkey. They said the donkey was a good, decent and modest donkey and a victim of the crime, so the man who mated with it was executed but the donkey was let off scot-free.
4) One torture device used during the Spanish Inquisition was a spike which would go up through your anus, and then come out of your shoulder. However, it would miss all your vital organs, so you wouldn't immediately die. They then left you to perish slowly in a public area as an example to others.
5) Scottish parliament and the Tourist Board of Scotland in 2007 spent £125,000 coming up with the slogan “Welcome to Scotland”.
6) (S+C) x (B+F) / (T-V), according to Dr. David Holmes (who, after exhaustive research, discovered that Kylie Minogue has a nice bottom), is a mathematical formula to describe the perfect bottom, named the Callipygian Formula after the “Venus with a Perfect Bottom”, or “The Callipygian Venus”, a statue of an almost nude woman.
S = overall shape (a ripe peach being just about right) /
C = circularity (rounder is better)
B = bounciness (less wobble is preferred)
F = firmness (not squishy)
T = skin texture (no cellulite)
V = the ratio of one's hips to waist.
Numeric values from 1 to 20 are assigned to the first five categories in order to assess the dimensions of the posterior. Then waist to hip ratio (the ideal ratio being 0.7) is calculated and factored in. The perfect score is approximately 80.
High marks go to bums that are dimple-free, slightly larger at their upper third, rather than their lower half. Butts also should be longer than they are wide.
