How about this for topical, then? Shakespeare writing sonnets apparently arose because of a plague….. Will only stopped writing plays and instead started writing sonnets after all theatres were ordered to be closed owing to a plague of the time. Wonder how they were fixed for loo rolls and hand sanitizer?

Watch yer cakies! - Nutmeg can be poisonous.... Ingestion of small amounts of nutmeg, including the amounts called for in all standard recipes, is harmless to the body. The consumption of more than 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg at once, however, can cause side effects such as wild hallucinations, nausea, vomiting, dizziness and irregular heartbeat within one to six hours after ingestion. Effects can last for several hours and, when a large amount is used, can lead to organ failure. Think I've already said somewhere on 'ere that apple pips contain cyanide. You have to eat sth like 12lbs of them, I think, to have a nasty turn, though. Anyway, enjoy your elevenses, folks!

Charlie is 76 today, Subs are always a great gig!

Oprah Winfrey's real name is Orpah. Worst anagram ever When her neighbours moved out & put their mansion on the market she bought it so that there wouldn't be anyone living next-door to her --- this was to protect her privacy.

Gloria Estefan bought her neighbour's house on Miami's Star Island and turned it into a giant walk around aquarium.

Bit of a gruesome one.
William The Conqueror's body "exploded" at his funeral. William died after his horse reared up during a 1087 battle, throwing the king against his saddle pommel so forcefully that his intestines ruptured. An infection set in that killed him several weeks later. As priests tried to stuff William into a stone coffin that proved too small for his bulk, they pushed on his abdomen, causing it to burst under the pressure. Mourners supposedly ran for the door to escape the putrid stench.
Similarly Henry The Eight's body apparently also ruptured and leaked in his coffin prior to his funeral.

Baked potatoes scooped out of their jackets mashed with a little butter are far tastier than traditionally mashed spuds which lose their taste in boiling process.
