True ones please.
Samuel Goldwyn of Metro Goldwyn Mayer films is offically named Samuel Goldfish.
When he emigrated to the US from Poland, his actual name was Schmuel Goldfisz. The immigration officail misheard it as Samuel Goldfish which he remained for some years.

This led the Weight Watchers Association to issue a fatwa on him |
I thought it was Fatwa Fighters that did that…

More specifically, the urine was mixed with alum, an aluminium ore, for tanning.
And I seem to recall reading that during the Middle Ages alum had to be imported from Europe, which was expensive.
Anyhow, during the 16th century, deposits of alum were discovered in North Yorkshire, near the coast, and a mining industry grew up. However they needed vast quantities of urine, so had to source it from outside the region.
With the biggest population in England, London was an obvious resource, the urine being sent up North by ship (no canals or proper roads back then).
This was doubly useful, since the barrels of urine served as ballast and income for the return journey of ships which had originally sailed to London with cargoes of processed alum, coal and timber etc.
And where did they get these barrels of urine? Out the back of every pub and tavern in the city, they'd have a big barrel for when punters needed to relieve themselves and I assume these would have been loaded on Thames barges and taken downriver to where the ships from Newcastle and the North East used to dock. The "Prospect of Whitby" in Wapping is named after one of these ships.
All of which represents the last time Northerners were legitimately able to take the piss out of Londoners, with the "trade" being very much the other way in the hundreds of years since! [Post edited 15 Jan 17:08]

Deer and antelope, along with most other mammals, do not see the colour orange as humans do. They have dichromatic vision with only two types of colour receptors, making them effectively red-green colour blind. To them, the orange colour of a tiger's coat would appear as a muted shade of green or grey, blending in well with the forest environment.
Whats even more mental, is that Tiger's also don't know they're orange, as they also have dichromatic vision. They are orange because fur colours require melanin, which is basically brown - you can't grow green fur.
I find that mental. | | | |

Not sure where to post this one but I’ve just discovered Curaçao are managed by Dick Advocaat. So I wiki Dick Advocaat and under the heading ‘Personal Life’ it simply says, Advocaat is teetotal. I’m not sure why this is making me laugh so much. |
I was going to suggest they might make a yellow curaçao on his honour but it seems they already do. Which I genuinely didn’t know. |  | | |

Indeed - this also apples to common animals such as dogs & cats, and cows and bulls, who recognise blue and yellow but find it hard to see red or orange. So when you see a bull running towards a waving red cloth, it’s the waving movement, not the red colour that's attracting its attention. This also helps explain why most mammals support Qpr or Norwich. [Post edited 9 Sep 9:07]

Hmm
There's a whole 'if a tree falls down in a forest" can of worms opening there.
Tigers don't know they're orange, because they're not - to a tiger's eyes.
Just as flowers send quite different colour messages to pollinating insects than we see as we don't perceive reflected uv parts of the spectrum... |  | | |

Risin' up, straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive
All together now … | | | |

The actual line was ' a pint of bitter, in a thin glass' delivered in consummate Caine style in Get Carter |
My mate used to go to the same church as Bryan Moseley, who as Cliff Brumby was chucked off a multi-storey car park by Carter, before he went on to play Alf Roberts in Coronation Street.
Moseley was a devout Catholic who wasn't sure about accepting the role due to the sex and violence in the film. He took the script to his priest who argued that it was a morality tale with Carter as the hero, and Moseley accepted the role. |  | | |
