INTERESTING FACT OF THE DAY

Gross fact:

Human poo is typically 50-75% water.

The "monkey wrench" was originally known as the "adjustable spanner wrench" but wasn't widely used as it was a weak design. It was an American plumber who fixed the design.

Apparently he was quite ugly and the revised wrench was named after his nick-name... Monkey



When they say to give something the "whole 9 yards" is a refference to a P-51 Mustang which carried 27 feet of ammunition.

and him flying around in his helicopter all day actually met him when i was in the fire brigade, he wanted water pumped into a lake for his daughters wedding night party...had a big lazer show over the water but the lake level was too low so he hired out 3 appliances from the fire brigade so we could top the lake up in this big stately home he hired, and because the decor of the home didnt match his daughters dress he had the whole place redecorated for that 1 night then restored back to it's former glory the day after...allegedlly the wedding cost in the region of £250,000

Last year, Tana Umaga (All blacks) introduced a new Haka.
Apparantly he felt the original one, the Ka Mate Haka wasnt agressive looking enough.

So, he got a new one, with extra added aggression plus plus.

Which is nice.

So, now the deal is, if they just want to beat the other team, they wheel out the usual We are about to beat the sheet out of you Haka.

But, if they are getting a bit worked up. And, want to actually start the match off with a session of reefing off opponants arms and battering them about the place with the soggy end so they can subdue them enough to tear holes in thier throats to pull their tongues through, they use the Haka Plus Plus.

One time Ireland stood and faced the Haka. We got right up in their faces. Apparantly we got some respect for that. Like, they hammered us, as usual. But, none the less respect was earned.
