I'd always assumed Bananas in Pajamas was one of those bizarre kids songs that someone had turned into a TV show. Is it really the other way around?
And as to facts: Jellyfish also don't have any brains. Or heart. Or indeed, anything apart from a stomach, and a mouth, which serves as the exit as well as the entrance, if you follow my gist.
And I'm hoping to God we all know about starfish daddies hatching their young?

In York, if you see a Scotsman, he must be shot IMMEDIATELY with a bow and arrow. Failure to do so is punishable by death.

Wrong, The law states that a Scotsman may be killed within the city of york, if he breaks wind on a sunday.
It is also illegal to impersonate a Chelsea pensioner.

I want to go back to the films of the 80's, where plots were simple, and explosions happened regularly....

I thought it was that it was legal for an Englishman on the Welsh-English border to kill a Welshman with a longbow.
Australia and New Zealand were the last countries to ban midget bowling and dwarf tossing as sports.

Curse the civilised world for banning midget bowling!
The bi-law's bloody stupid, along the lines of 'you can kill a welshman if he's standing on holy ground, providing you use a longbow and shoot him in the back from a distance of exactly 10 feet'. in fact most of the British bi-laws are stupid; If I ever get rich and famous enough to be awarded the freedom of the city, I intend to distrupt traffic by hearding sheep through the town center.

True, but the first law is not wrong. It just doesn't apply on a Sunday (the scotsmen can only be killed if breaking wind then).

You're still wrong, the bi-law about shooting Picts on sight was removed in the 1900's. They needed to be within the city walls as well, which don't really exist anymore in a city planning sense. It's just and old urban legend brought on by poor research by law students.

I'm not entirely sure when it was banned... but it was recent enough that Peter Jackson threw in the dwarf-tossing references about Gimli in LOTR... so after PJ was born.
That was an earthshakingly good "oops" there Floppy.
