    Aye, I stopped looking at that stuff at 14. Back in those days, high-quality beheading videos did not exist.

    A mantis shrimp can swing its claw so fast it boils the water around it and creates a flash of light.

    Earlier on today that shrimp post was about Pele's grandkid being older than his son and them both playing soccer. One of them for Santos iirc.

    I can't remember how hot it is exactly and I'm apparently too lazy to take the time I've typed this to open a new tab and Google it but the mantis shrimp's fireball punch gets the water up to thousands of degrees celsius, the mental little bastard.

    "While living in Paris in the 1920s, Peirce "made a gift of a very big turtle to the woman who was the concierge of his building". The woman doted on the turtle and lavished care on it. A few days later Peirce substituted a somewhat larger turtle for the original one. This continued for some time, with larger and larger turtles being surreptitiously introduced into the woman's apartment. The concierge was beside herself with happiness and displayed her miraculous turtle to the entire neighborhood. Peirce then began to sneak in and replace the turtle with smaller and smaller ones, to her bewildered distress."

    Not interesting, but seeing as we don't have a 'shit I never knew' thread this will do.

    Both the fact that John Giles is Nobby Stiles' brother in law and Dermot Gallagher (the ref) is Irish are two things that escaped me until this week.

    Spent a good while last night reading about the Pitcairn Islands

    Nine mutineers on the HMS Bounty in 1790 forced the rest of the crew overboard in the south Pacific, picked up a bunch of nearby Polynesian women, and settled on this island. Today there are about 50 people living there, descendants of that lot. Very strange place.

    There was a paedo scandal there, I heard. They charged a few people with it and then had to build a prison for them to be locked up in

    I can't remember which northern town/city it was (ended in 'LEHH' but don't think it was Burnley) but some girl spoke for a good fiften minutes about all the paedophiles that lives around here when she was growing up. I thought everything was happy up north?

    I've put off re-watching them again in case they're not as brilliant as I thought, but I caught up with Inside No. 9 recently (the episode about splitting the bill was the stand out) and I reckon I'll be fine.

    It's great. The commentary track on the DVDs are fantastic and confusing. They were going to explain 'Cans of Can't' and then didn't. Wankers.

    It would be odd to assume that the fictional town in a program was named after an actor who turned up for an episode about three years in. It's not mind blowing trivia, but it isn't made obvious by him playing the mayor.

    On the topic of old things that may not hold up, I've been considering whizzing through Monkey Dust recently, but I fear it may be very much of its time. I remember thinking one of the 'Timmy' sketches was the bleakest thing I'd ever seen, so hopefully if I do jump in it's as brutal as I remember.

    I just found out King James was pretty much openly gay and the reason for the King James Bible was to get the church off his back about it.

    A map of all the known locations where bombs fell on London during the blitz.

    Rather sobering, to say the least.
