    Thank you very much Walker. That was kind.

    2. That condition is called monorchism.
    And I hear it's realated to monocularism, the eye malady affecting one eye where one glass is used. Next time you see someone like this with one eye glass, ask him if he has one testicle.


    3. Only 26 people used Yangyang International airport in South Korea last year.
    It probably cost a billion dollars to put that airport in, you would think there would be a need. Actually some Congressman in Pensylvania here got an airport put in his district and no one is using it. Ah, politicians.

    4. Excessive cola-drinking can cause paralysis.
    That must be because all the fat you put around your waist strangles your spine.

    5. 29% of women have never used the internet, but only 20% of men.
    Hmm, that's because women are doing real work, like making dinner and cleaning the house. We men are a bunch of loafers.

    6. Seven Speakers of the House of Commons were beheaded prior to 1560.
    Boy, lose an election and geez, people don't get over it.

    7. Britain had animal welfare laws before it had child welfare laws.
    It doesn't surprise me actually. It always surprises me how we have such compassion for animals (and that's a good thing) but have such a disregard for children. Just look at how the unborn are considered in some circles.

    8. Child protection used to be enforced by uniformed NSPCC inspectors, known as "cruelty men".
    I think they had to change their name during the inquisition.

    9. Pringles are not potato crisps.
    The article says it's less than 50% potato and the other half is snot meal. Snot meal?

    10. The man who was the voice of Mickey Mouse was married to the woman who did Minnie's.
    And when they made love together they squeeked in mousey orgasms.
