Well the 'fact' is that it can LIVE on for a couple of weeks. That doesn't mean it knows what to do or how to do it. Pretty much like your average Orient fan really.

Come to think of it... Orient... Cockroaches... seems so obvious now!

Cockroaches are also the only living things on earth that can survive a nuclear explosion.

Dunno if the same thing happens to Orient fans though...

2 unemployed gentlemen from Southend-on-Sea were professional footballers for 24 hours in the early part of the 20th century, signed for 2 different clubs, and were summarily dismissed, in order to facilitate Harold Halse's transfer for Southend United to Newton Heath whilst getting round a maximum transfer fee limit.

i've got loads, should i create a little quiz and post it on here.

no such thing

The longest word in any of the major English language dictionaries is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, a 45-letter word which refers to a lung disease contracted from the inhalation of very fine Silicon dioxide particles specifically from a volcano. Research has discovered that this word was originally a hoax. It has since been used in a close approximation of its originally intended meaning, lending at least some degree of validity to its claim.

I stand corrected :o

The longest word in the English language without a vowel in it is the word rhythm.
