All right, chairs. For Millennia all we've used chairs for is sitting on. But that is simply because their shape lends itself to such a function. Originally, chairs were invented by neolithic man to keep lions at bay.

Chairs are in fact the only thing that lions are scared of, as anyone who's visited a circus knows. In many respects, chairs are the natural predators of lions. That's why you never see lions in Ikea. Of course it's not all furniture they're scared of, they love wardrobes, often at the back.

Alexander Fleming is famous for discovering penicilin. It was discovered by accident.

Famous story this: Fleming was working late one night in his laboratory when he knocked over a vial of liquid all over his workbench. Next day he returned and there was mold everywhere.
Being of a scientific and inquisitive nature, he tried a bit of the mold became incredibly ill, had to go to his doctor who prescribed him penicilin. And that's how he discovered penicilin.

Vulgarity and insult in South America. In one tribe to cause a maximum offence, all you have to do is merely to suggest to your interlocuter that their momma be sooo fat, that da bitch would not be allowed on a donkey.

It's particularly offensive to these people - they have big donkeys.
