I bought this for the Kindle today, as it's available for 20p from Amazon.co.uk. Then I practically laughed my socks off at reading:
Everybody expected the Spanish Inquisition - they were legally obliged to give 30 days' notice.

If anyone's interested in buying it too, it's here.

Another fact from the book: the centre of the galaxy tastes like raspberries.

What I want to know is, how do they know?!

I have no idea how they know that!! Sounds like a fun read! :)

It is! It's also rather eye opening at times. For instance: it was years (28, IIRC) after the invention of toilet paper that it was finally guaranteed splinter-free. Talk about ouch!

Ouch indeed *shudders and hugs her soft, splinter-free toilet roll*

Though I wonder if it was less appealing to cats back then?!! :)

Nah, they were probably attacking it way back when. And, given that lots of people had their toilets at the bottom of the garden, they were probably less likely to get caught. :oD
