    For Korea, Vietnam, Gulf War and others they never declared war

    In Kerry for the Puc Fair they go up to the hills, capture a wild goat, bring him to town and then declare him king for the week


    Some quare folk in the Kingdom

    He is also crowned by his Queen- the oldest virgin in the village - which is always a 12 year old girl from 6th class in the local primary school.

    It was only when I was explaining this to a Swiss friend last week that I realized how totally bizarre the Puck Fair is. Surreal!

    The longest word in the English language is ‘pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis’ which describes a lung disease caused by breathing in particles of volcanic matter or a similar fine dust.

    Longest placename in Ireland is Muckanaghederdauhaulia

    The British civil service went around Ireland and bastardized all the placenames to sound sort of English

    It's far easier to pronounce in Irish
    Muiceanach idir Dhá Sháile

    It's in Galway :)

    and they have long legs because if they were any shorter, they wouldn't reach the ground



    also flamingos stand around with one leg lifted, because if they lifted the other, they'd fall

    Did you know that Coca Cola experimented with new flavours of coke, and in 1986 introduced Cocoa Cola, a chocolate flavoured cola?

    They did experiment with flavours. An ex brought some coffee flavoured Coke back from France. It is vile.
