Would you believe, they actually created canned bacon? And it’s not just any kind of canned meat product, it has 10 years of shelf life.

According to mredepot.com, where these are available,

“Each can is 9 ounces of fully cooked and drained bacon. Between 2-3/4 and 3-1/4 pounds of raw bacon go into each can. Each can is the highest quality fresh #1 bacon slices. Cured to our specifications, cooked and then hand wrapped, rolled and packed in the U.S.

We cook this bacon down for you prior to canning, so you won’t pay for all of the natural shrinkage that occurs whenever you cook bacon. Then we carefully drain all of the fat and liquid off and can it fresh so it will taste as good out of the can as it would right out of the refrigerator.”

Wow. Next stop, canned fried chicken - with extra-crispy skin. 

Don’t blame the butler this time!

The game “Cluedo” (or “Clue” in North America) was actually invented by a clown, a part-time one, granted, but an honest-to-goodness, red-nosed, big-shoed, bright-haired clown.

Some other trivia about the board game:

• The dead guy is known as Dr. Black (except in North America, where he’s known as Mr. Boddy). Personally, I like Mr. Boddy more. It has a nice ring to it.:P
• The full names of the suspects are Prof. Peter Plum, Miss Josephine Scarlet, Colonel Michael Mustard, Mr. (or Rev.) John Green, Mrs. Blanche White, and Mrs. Elizabeth Peacock.
• In some deluxe versions, other characters include Miss Peach, Lady Lavender, Prince Azure, Rusty Naylor and Captain Brown.
• Special theme versions were created featuring The Simpsons, the Scooby Gang, and the cast of the Haunted Mansion. A Dungeons & Dragons setting was also created.

Michel Lotito holds the dubious distinction of being Monsieur Mangetout (Mr. Eat Everything). You want to know? Aside from the normal stuff, like meat and vegetables, he also eats metal and glass.

Apparently, his stomach lining is twice as thick as a regular person, which doctors say is a rare condition probably developed even while he was still in his mother’s womb.

His largest meal to date? A Cessna 150 airplane.

Guess this is one guy who’s never going to worry about going hungry.

Here are some people with strange names: Ure A. Pigg (Portland, Oregon)! Ima Hogg (Houston, Texas)! Ima June Bugg (Chicago, IL)! Eura Fisch (Charlotte N.C)! Ima Fisch (Charlotte N.C)! menna pause (Indianapolis,indiana! Serious Misconduct (Welwyn, England)! General Error (Pueblo, Colorado)! Dr. Safety First (Tulsa, Oklahoma)! Pearl Harbor (Birmingham, Alabama)! Honor Roll (Birmingham, Alabama)! E. Pluribus Eubanks (San Francisco, CA).

Wonder what they told their parents when they realized what their names actually are?

Owls are apparently one of the very few (if not the only) birds who can see the color blue.

I wonder how teal blue, aqua, and periwinkle work with them.
