Aha! I am glad to be able to say something about this - it's just a media beat-up! As she explained on TV, it's *not* dog food, it's a special nutritional supplement she invented when making the dog food, because she runs a pet food factory. In other words, it's completely different from dog food!

The poor woman is being pilloried by an American-owned TV channel here, which normally couldn't care less about world hunger.

I always assumed I had my arse covered by my trousers. Apparently not.

Oh, for Bob's sake Mr. Ross! Put it away!

Wot, a big bald schizophrenic

" In Edinburgh Zoo the Emperor Penguin enclosure is next to the Elephant enclosure. "

Have they got one again? When I was there in 1993 they were still hard-line about not being able to provide a suitable enclosure; they had removed their elephants years before. God, that's *thirteen* years ago.

to the Edinburgh Zoo website

Well, in a way, the Elephant enclosure *is* next to the Emperor Penguin enclosure at Edinburgh Zoo; the penguins which actually exist at Edinburgh Zoo are King Penguins.

It is the cry of the King Penguin which is startlingly like the trumpet of an elephant, of which there are none (other than the bronze statue) at the Edinburgh Zoo in Edinburgh, Scotland, UK, which is where I was when I personally became aware of this particular useless fact.

A4121515 Green Poo AKA Green Excrement

There's a US brand of popcorn called Poppycock. They obviously picked the name because it contains 'Pop', 'cos they obviously don't know the origin of the word. Poppycock comes from two Dutch words; 'puppe', which means doll, and 'kak', which means... Hey, we're going to watch a movie. Who wants some doll poo?

Vomit comes in layers. The first layer is liquid. The second layer is once-solid food you've eaten recently. The third layer is stomach juices and acids.

The first layer can be 'produced' easily by just opening the mouth. The latter layers are produced by gut wrenching and loud 'blurgh' noises. The latter layers are likely to leave you red-faced and with tears streaming down your face.

In Disneyland they refer to vomit as 'a protein spill'.
