The name Wendy was made up for the book "Peter Pan". There was never a recorded Wendy before.

Male Cape Ground Squirrels have a Captain Winky that is 40 per cent the length of their body. Big deal...

If one places a tiny amount of liquor on a scorpion, it will instantly go mad and sting itself to death.

I knew a girl named Windy, but you didn't want to stand around her for very long

The first CD pressed in the US was Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA".

The first music album released (production) on magnetic tape was in 1945 and the artist was singer Marv Griffin.

as an extra,
Marv also had, in "So this is love- 1953, the first open mouth kiss in a Hollywood movie since the advent of the Production Code of 1934

I always just thought of him as a talk show host and TV producer.

There is only one Hollywood movie with the names of three actors in the title.

And that movie is.....

Bud Abbot and Lou Costello meet the Killer Boris Karloff (1949)

The phrase "rule of thumb" is derived from an old English law which stated that you couldn't beat your wife with anything wider than your thumb.

In September 1965 Ken Dodds' song 'Tears' spent 5 weeks in the charts at #1, keeping Walker Brothers (1 week), Manfred Mann(1 week) and Andy Williams (3 weeks) in 2nd place.

Roses may be red, but violets are indeed violet.
