badgers have bones in their penises. I say that from practical experience.

Speaking of badgers, the only station on the London Underground network that contains none of the letters from the word 'Badger' in it is Pimlico.

Did you know that George Washington was said to have offered bottles of rum to anyone who voted him into the Virginia House of Burgesses the first time.

Hitting someone sharply on the back of the head stimulates a nerve center that can wake him up if he has been knocked unconscious (there is also one at the base of the spine that works much the same way).

Humans are the only mammals without a penal bone.

There is no "J" sound in the Cyrillic alphabet, In order to transliterate the the word John you must start with two letter "Д" and "ш". (my second letter is probably incorrect)
