Marijuana was not illegal in the United States until October 1, 1937, when Congress passed the "Marijuana Tax Act". Total debate time on the House of Representatives floor concerning this issue: 90 seconds. This act did not actually ban the substance - it simply said that one could not sell marijuana without a license. Of course, Congress refused to issue any licenses. Congress finally banned marijuana outright in 1970.

Everyone knows that spinach is loaded in iron and makes you stronger - Just look what it has done for Popeye's career. Well, Popeye was wrong. So were all of those parents that stuffed it down their kids' throats. In reality, spinach has no more iron in it than any other vegetable. This spinach misconception dates back to the 1950's when a food analyst made an error while calculating the iron in spinach. His decimal place was off by one place, suggesting that spinach had ten times as much iron content than it really did.

The Malaysian government decided to solve their disease-carrying mosquito problem by spraying the infested areas with DDT. This worked, but the cockroaches then devoured the dead mosquitos. This was followed by the region's gecko lizards consuming the roaches. The geckos did not die from the residual poison (surprisingly), but their central nervous systems were greatly affected, causing the lizards to slow down. Moving up the food chain, the cats ate the slow-moving lizards and started to die off in large quantities. Of course, fewer cats means more rats, and the country's rat population soared. As a result, the World Health Organization was forced to step in and ban the DDT. In an effort to restore the ecological balance, they flew in planeloads of cats to kill the rats.

I think I found it's not true...
“In England, the Speaker of the House is not allowed to speak.”
In fact this is not true, in the House of Commons similar in style to the house of Congress here in the US the Speaker is usually the loudest voice to be heard. Most often to be heard shouting “ORDER” the Speaker has to be heard over the entire chamber where the noise can routinely get over 100 DB. And of course no one is allowed to address the chamber unless the speaker introduces the right honorable person.

I'm not sure of how true this story is...but what I heard is that the term F-CK is actually an abbrev.
Long time ago when most of europe was mainly governed by kings...some countries citizens would need to seek permission from the king before allowed to have children. When they were awarded permission to coplulate the would recieve a permit saying F-CK....Fornification/Under/Constent/ of King

Oh yeah, forgot to mention he still doesn't wear pants. I'm not sure how he got the name Aku because that translates into a nickname for Andy from Antero. Ankka does mean duck though.
