Jill;
male have nipples cooz we are all female
as early fetus.

Ducks do have lips, though very minor in the lining, if you are able to put ya finger in the beak you can feel a soft edge at the beak.

French thought of chips.

Think about the Orange being orange,
it would be silly if we called it green wouldn't it??

Dude

Sorry but no, it was Lawrence of Arabia, plus he used 2 or more other names during his career.

I knew Lawrence wasn't his first name, but was not sure on Shaw, that's where you tricked me.

Oh I'm not as thick as I thought I was being then?

Thanks Dr Dude. Interesting thing about ducks.

So the French invented chips - but who of them thought that putting bits of potato in hot fat would be a good idea? I suppose I mean - how on earth did deep-fat frying come into use? I wonder how many injuries they had when they first started.

Changing subject a bit

I do know that the canning process was invented quite a while before tin openers were produced. That always made me laugh.

I was nearly there with it on Lawrence, it was something to do with public, he was a writter, perhaps not radio but was a public figure.

I suppose back in those early days of chips it would have been done in the frypay, but when they became popular they needed more room for the chips and made the deep fry. don't know who actually put them into production, because I ain't doing google to get me answers.

I got one for you's, for those that see things as offending please turn away now,

it is an obvious one;

Who put the "toilet suite" into production as a toilet suite, even though the toilet seat has been around for several hundred years?
