did you know ... ... that the Finnish Kyrö Distillery Company uses a custom typeface (label pictured) based on memorial engravings of the 1714 Battle of Napue? Furthermore said Gin was winner of the Best Gin for Gin and Tonic category in 2015 at the International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyrö_Distillery_Company

Ah well here goes some mind blowing facts (provided of course that some of our more geratric members do have minds) For your edification and further education. A strawberry isn't an actual berry, but a banana is. More coming Four Japanese scientists measured the amount of friction between a shoe, a banana skin and the floor: it's 0.07.
Iceland has Europe's largest banana plantation.

Did you know ... ... that the Gilwell Oak was named the United Kingdom's "Tree of the Year" for 2017? Did you know that some nitwit submitted this British tree and now "It is currently a contender in the public vote for 2018 European Tree of the Year." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilwell_Oak

Lady Gaga's mating call does not echo (or is that ducks?). Anyway, I know that she holds a full PSV license and sometimes fills in on the number 27 route (in between concerts).

Hmm, does this seem true to you? A tiger's roar can be heard as far as 1.8 miles (3 km) away.Tigers can eat up to 60 pounds (27 kilograms) of meat in one night. Also reputed to drink 5 buckets of Jamesons too

Never looked at the label on a bottle of Jameson's before.
Why does it say "John Jameson Hon"? Is it "hon" as in short for "honey" (a term of endearment in some parts), or is it short for "honourable"?
And is it "Triple Distilled" "to be sure, to be sure, to be sure"? (The same reason Irish men are prone to wearing three condoms simultaneously, I believe.)

In parts of Ethiopia it is fashionable to use a dog as a toy box/caddy.
