  that's a low estimate on average cookie consumption (by cookies do we mean all biscuits?)

  I've eaten a lot more than 200 biscuits and I'm skinny as a rake...

  18. The Hulk from the comic book series was a character loosely developed after Stan Lee's retarded cousin Joey, who was a bit stronger than the rest of the kids in the 8th grade. Probably because he was 48.

  all this stuff is trivia:

  the word trivia comes from the latin for a crossroads where 3 different roads met – tri meaning 3 and via meaning road.

  People would meet at this crossroads in acient times and discuss and gossip about things.

  the word stuck.

  The two-fingered salute or V sign (not a victory/peace sign) derives from a gesture made by longbowmen fighting in the English army at the Battle of Agincourt (1415) during the Hundred Years' War. According to the story, the French were in the habit of cutting off the arrow-shooting fingers of captured English and Welsh longbowmen, and the gesture was a sign of defiance on the part of the bowmen, showing the enemy that they still had their fingers, or, as a widespread pun puts it, that they could still "pluck yew".
