You can learn a lot of useless info from Snapple. It’s downright tasty as well.

I wonder what they put out on that label? 
In all seriousness though, I found this fact from that site quite cool:
The first spam message was transmitted over telegraph wires in 1864.

I learnt ‘Stockholm Syndrome’ last night. 
NOT the One Directionless song, of course. I didn’t even know there was one. I mean this one.
It’s a lot more impressive-sounding than it really is.

Every time I see little kids out and about it reinforces my decision never to have kids on my own.
…on a plane, in a restaurant, in a grocery store… Yep – other people’s crying brats are the safest, most effective form of birth control known to mankind. I’ll take a dog over a kid any day.

Although my grandfather always says that grandkids are the reward for not strangling your child as an infant.

But mmm it’s the symbol of England in gener…. oh wait I don’t really care either.
I bet the people living around it will be happy to not hear it for a few years, and if they’re upset at least they can wipe their tears away with the millions of pound notes that their place is worth.

People go on about how it rang during the last 500 years or whatever. What do you expect, its a f*****g bell?! It’s not going to climb into a Bomber and go join a raid on Nazi factories in 1942.
As for all those who go on about the tradition;
Blackadder: Baldrick, get the door.
[there is a crash and Baldrick enters with the door]
Blackadder: Now, Baldrick, I advise you to make whatever explanation you are about to give exceptionally good.
Baldrick: You said get the door.
Blackadder: Not good enough, you’re fired.
Baldrick: But, my Lord, I’ve been in your family since 1532.
Blackadder: So has syphilis. Now get out.

But the experience isn’t the same when I am listening to it down by the lake near my house. I need cabs, people, taxis, Westminster Bridge, and a pub nearby.

(I was going to see “give a girl” referencing the Girl in Ahhh Girl but in this day and age I’d probably be screamed at for being sexist and have people hunt me down and get me sacked.)
