I went to Japan there was a commercial for something, I couldn't understand exactly what, I think some sort of legume. Anyway, I could only understand the first couple of words, roughly translated, "Hey, did you know?" The premise of these commercials was that a person would receive some sort of bean as part of a meal or snack and the bean would say some random fact, then the person would become ill, mainly at the prospect of a talking bean.

They did one in English with Japanese subtitles, the content was a jellybean saying the following:

"say, did you know, A koala's appendix is two meters long?"

A lump of Pure Gold the size of a matchbox can be flattened to the size of a tennis court. and The last thing to happen is the "ultimate" the next to last thing to happen is the "penultimate", and the second to last thing to happen is the "antepenultimate". Also it is illegal for a Church to play porn on a sunday. <-- im not entirely sure about that one. also if you spell out the numbers, i.e. one, two and so on you would not say the letter A until you hit one thousand.

Explain why a Church would play porn please.

Men are 6 times more likely to be struck by lightning than women.
This would seem to be a confusion of statistics and probability. I would say this indicates that men are more likely to be doing an activity that puts them at higher risk of getting struck by lightning. So, 6 times more men than women struck by lightning does not mean men are 6 times more likely to be struck by lightning. Physiologically, there is no difference between men and women to account for even a tiny difference in chance to be struck by lightning (except average height), so it must be due to circumstances placing more men in harms way than women.
That is true, but you could also argue that as men tend to be bigger and more muscular then women, there would be larger amounts of iron in their bodies, making them more conductive. And as you said, men are typicaly taller.

In england it has never been illegal to be a lesbian its only been illegal for a man to be gay.
Dolphins sleep with half of their brain at a time.
It is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament - this made me chuckle.
It is an act of treason to place a postage stamp bearing the British monarch upside down - according to the times newspaper.
Isn't it a hangable offence to burn the royal navys flagship in port still and high treason or did labour get rid of that law?
edit: found this out too. In England, all men over the age of 14 must carry out two hours of longbow practice a day.

it is true that you cant die in the Houses of Parliament. if someone does die then the place of death is officially listed as St. Thomas' hospital which i think is the closest hospital to the Houses of Parliament

The irony, it burns.
OT: You swallow 100 spiders in an average human's life-span. That's a bit strange.

Dammit.
Don't worry, I was wrong. Now I need to edit my post.

Nope, both those laws are gone. There are no crimes punishable by death in the UK since joining the EU.

A female kangaroo will throw its own young to a predator if being chased. But its ok because the female also has two reproductive systems and the second one kicks in incase she loses a Joey :p Weird ass stuff.
They also have 3 vaginas, 2 leading to wombs (the male kangaroo has a forked penis) and one of which does nothing.

Speaking of weird reproduction related factoids; pregnant sand sharks will have roughly 20 foetuses in the womb, however only one will emerge as the strongest will eat all the others (kinda like a cannibalistic thunderdome)

Remember, when eating a polar bear, steer clear of its liver. It is so super loaded with Vitamin A that it is toxic to humans.
