Re: Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina - After Hours
Attention: For your enjoyment and edification, the Cantina has installed at great expense a Trivia and Fact Machine.. please collect tokens at the bar from the Tazmanian Devil...
This is a highly amusing and erudite experience for all cantina patrons.
For example, I was staggered to find out the following from the Trivia Machine in its 'Guiness World Book of Records' section
"The Most Evil Bottomburp
The most pungent flatulation ever was dropped by Balthazar Beauty of Babylon (knon as 'Fartarse' to his owner, a mature pedigree Newfoundland dog owned by a Miss Eileen Sidebottom of Dartford, England. The 63.4kg (140lb) canine had just eaten six tins of pilchards, eight tins of tripe, washed down with a gallon of milk when it dropped its guts on BBC TV's Record Breakers programme. It is estimated that the reultant gaseous emission could permeate a building three times the volume of the Millennium Dome with a putrid aroma of rotting cabbage, Frenchman's breath and sewer gas.
It took Dyno-rod 3 weeks and approximately 600 man hours to clear the smell from the studio, and some members of the audience are still suffering side-effects to this day. Mr Charles Gurney-Campion from Hampshire described the canine giffing as "so strong it made my ear wax melt"."
The other fact I particularily like was this one:
"Most Vicious Motion
The stickiest motion ever produced was a stool passed by driving instructor Wolfgang Ubergruber of Frankfurt, Germany. After being stuck in a traffic jam for 5 hours in the hot summer of 1976 with nothing to eat but a 4lb box of dairy fudge, 2 bottles of 'Bitburger' beer and a 5lb bottle of sauerkraut, Herr Ubergruber went to the toilet. THe resultant excrement was so viscous that eight full rolls of toilet paper, approximately 1600 sheets, were needed before he attained an even vaguely acceptable level of bottomly cleanliness. He also managed to read 3 short novels whilst enjoying the experience.."
Beats a jukebox anyday
