I have never given any chemical treatments (frontline etc) to any of my dogs for fleas nor do I brush their teeth. Two of the biggest earners for vets, yet natures own treatments are almost free and not surprisingly vets won't tell you about them.
The Mohawk/Mohican haircut is nothing of the sort and merely a Hollywood concoction for western movies.
The hairstyle was instead popular with the Pawnee tribe, from the Nebraska/Kansas area.
The Up-State New York Mohawks instead plucked (rather than shaved) all but a small area towards the back of the head. The remaining patch was often styled into three small braids.
Frank Hayes (jockey) won his debut race on a 20/1 outsider called Sweet Kiss by edging out the favourite Gimme ... quite remarkable. Oops, nearly forgot to mention that poor old Frank had died before the final jump, but managed to stay on board - he is the only person to have won a race whilst dead.
Sweet Kiss became known as Sweet Kiss of Death and was never ridden again.

That is a terrific fact - brilliant. Looking it up, the jockey died of a heart attack directly because of the ectreme efforts he took to make the weight.

Quite remarkable, as he then went on to play for Lancashire & England in the 70's.
In a recent survey, 6 out of 7 dwarves weren't Happy
I was at work one day and a very short project manager came in, I said morning, how are you and he said he wasn't happy, to which I replied with the line above, everyone laughed including the HR women.
A very large Weatherspoons in Bexleyheath. Also the original name for the Dartford Warbler. A little bird that you are unlikely to see in Bexleyheath … or Dartford for that matter. I could go on, but I fear that I’ve lost you already!
The Dartford Warbler is a heathland bird. It was named the Dartford Warbler because a)its a warbler and b) it was described when being on observed on Bexley heath.
At the time Bexleyheath was common grazing land, which created the heath, and the nearest settlement was Dartford.
That's all very well, but what train do you need to get to see this?

There's a choice. You either need to get to Suffolk or Dorset.
Do you remember Pope John Paul I? The one who didn't last long and was immortalised in that well-known mnemonic "Thirty days have September, April, June and The Pope".
I have no idea as to the veracity of this. I could look it up but I can't be bothered. Anyway, at the time, it was said WBA were the only team ever to not win a game during the reign of a pope.

If you made a large hole straight through the centre of the Earth then jumped into it you would emerge on the other side four minutes and twelve seconds later.
According to my calculations the journey is 7900 miles and you begin it by dropping at 32 feet per second squared which means for each second dropped you speed up by 32 feet per second. However, gravitation will have a slowing effect as you near the centre of the earth.
I won’t show you all my working out, but the answer is 42 minutes 12 seconds and here is the irrefutable truth.

Going by Wikipedia, John Paul I began his papacy on 26 August 1978. On that day, West Brom beat Bolton 4-0 in the old Division One, and they didn't win again until 30 September (https://www.11v11.com/teams/west-bromwich-albion/tab/matches/season/1979/), two days after John Paul I died. So it depends when exactly on 26 August his papacy began, if you want to get very pedantic about it.
It wouldn't surprise me if there were another team who didn't manage to win in that period though.

I only know because he's a descendant of Kit Harrington (Jon Snow in Game of Thrones).
