I'm resurrecting a fairly old thread, and apologies for that if it bothers anyone. But I didn't want to start an entirely new topic for this, and it doesn't exactly fit in "current events".

I ran across this while searching for something else and it's too good not to share. The column on the right in this link represents the true "80 facts" as published. The column on the right lists totally made-up things, most of which are amusing, many of which are clever, and a few that are truly hilarious. All in fun. Enjoy.

(A special note to Beatrixfan: I thought you'd find number 14 funny )

Her true birthday is on April but isn,t a good month to celebrate because the climate, for this reason they choos June but it isn,t only Monarch to do that there are more.
