When I was a kid (many years ago) I had a book of strange facts, oddly enough this is the only one I can remember from the book :D

So simple, sometimes so crap, but actually quite funny too. I liked how they'd mess up a bit (like with the sausage and the scissors) but instead of doing a re-take they leave it in while making each other laugh more :D

Just found this.

The next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be. Here are some facts about the1500s:

Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May and still smelled pretty good by June. However, they were starting to smell, so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odour. Hence, the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married.

Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it. Hence the saying, don’t throw the baby out with the Bath water.
