My little bit of moderator trivia: It's very hard to keep P&R to the P&R forum!



While the original King Arthur was probably fiction (or not called Arthur!), we might have had a real King Arthur if Prince Arthur, Prince of Wales, hadn't died of a mysterious illness in 1502.

A lot of things would have been very different if Arthur had lived. Hank the 8th, who had been schooled for the church wouldn't have become king, taken on the Catholic church and so on

The combination "ough" can be pronounced in nine different ways. The following sentence contains them all: "A rough-coated, dough-faced, thoughtful ploughman strode through the streets of Scarborough; after falling into a slough, he coughed and hiccoughed.".
Can you say that five times really fast? It's a bit difficult. lol

Another piece of astronomy trivia:
Originally applied to our own Solar System, this process of planetary system formation (the nebular hypothesis) is now thought to be at work throughout the universe.

And if Richard III had fought his last battle either on ground that wasn't marshy or if he hadn't gone charging in like monarchs before him had done in medieval battles maybe he'd have won the battle and Henry Tudor wouldn't have ascended the throne which means maybe Henry VIII wouldn't have decided to take over the control of the English Church and disband the Monastic lands held by the church in England. Which might have meant that there wouldn't have been all the conflict between Catholic and Protestants down the centuries. It's fun to postulate what might have happened differently if x hadn't happened the way it did.

Two plus Eleven, and One plus Twelve not only give the same result, but use the same letters.

The cartoon series "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?" was originally rejected by the network because it was too scary.

The electronic book (ebook) was born in 1971, with the first steps of Project Gutenberg, a

In the Fahrenheit Temperature Scale, there are 180 degrees between the freezing point of water (32 degrees) and the boiling point of water (212 degrees).
