OLL LEWIS: Yesterday’s News Today




http://cryptozoologynews.blogspot.com/

It’s Friday, which means it’s time for the Friday Fact. Pray silence while I get out the Bumper Mammoth Boy’s Book of Necromancy and Fascinating Facts (or whatever I translated the title as, Thule can often change its phrasing according to very subtle points on the hieroglyphics so it is hard to get exact translations) and read out this weeks fact.

Before he gained fame as a pogo-ist, a Carry On actor, a leader of young boys in the art of ferret-tickling in castley fields and collector of ornate brass bedsteads, Charles Hawtrey (a known associate of the cast of Carry On Abroad) was a privateer/ pirate in the era of Queen Elizabeth I and was responsible for singeing the beard of the king of Spain on a number of occasions. Unfortunately Hawtrey had to give up this job as few people in the 20th century were able to understand how this was even possible as he was born in 1914.

And here is the news:

Fossil finds extend human story

Llamas cleared from Dublin M-way

World's biggest rodent spotted in Totteridge

It was just tottering along, apparently.
