    Okay, useless history fact, after the American Civil War, members of the Fenian Brotherhood decided that the best way to liberate Ireland was to invade Canada (I cannot remember off-hand, but I think there were 3-4 incursions).

    The holes in Swiss cheese are made by cuckoos as they eat their way through which is why you get small ones as they start off and progressively larger ones as they put on weight.
