The owl cannot dance very well instead he’s very wise,
But it’s best if you dont laugh at him or he’ll peck you in the eyes.

Last April Lessons
Monday
Singapore in the 90s had the highest per capita death penalty rate and is likely to still hold this record (Saudi Arabia 2nd)
Tuesday
William Marwood (who came up with the table of drops and hence the long drop method of execution) was a cobbler who just had an interest in capital punishment and asked if he could have a go. As his first hanging on April 1st 1872 (William Horry) was so good they gave him the job. Actually I knew most of this from the last geek fest i went to but didn’t know the cobbler bit. Hoping to learn something not about capital punishment tomorrow!
Wednesday
There are beauty contests for cows in which judges are impressed with the state of their udders
Thursday
I now know the meaning of comparative degree. “Less famous” or “Smaller” would be the comparative degree of famous or smaller.
Friday
Bromide has been used to lower sex drive. Just in case it works I am going to cut down on my bromine consumption.

The witch in the east
There was a mad witch in the east, Who on gossip and slander did feast, I hope she turns green With a ruptured spleen As she’s munched on by a rabid beast
Monday – I learnt that there is a new organisation the YPLA (lets hear it for the YPLA! Young Persons Learning Agency) that replaces the LSC. Possibly the dullest lesson of the year so far, A toxophilite being an archery lover is a far more interesting fact.
Tuesday – It takes about 9 months to get to Mars and rockets need to leave the earth at a minimum speed of 17000mph
Wednesday – Franck Ribery has been accused of inappropiate activity with an inappropiately aged call girl – so it looks like he is Chelsea bound. Also if the voting in the general election makes the lib dems have the most votes, the conservatives 2nd and labour 3rd it will probably result in the reverse when it comes to seats (I think I suspected this anyway). Also nice guys outperform nasty guys in tasks (apart from women attracting possibly as they are often less exciting!)
Thursday – I learnt zebras arent good subjects for limericks due to the various pronouncitaions
Friday – Shakespeare may not have been born on St George’s day
Saturday – Robbie Savage was a trainee at Manchester United before moving to Crewe Alexandra
Sunday – Reneee Walker will not be in any future series of 24. I am surprised that my addiction to finding out what happens before it does in a lot of tv series didn’t make me learn about her death earlier (i.e. I will read a spoiler if I come across one)

Hippo Dung (The Rancid Harpy)
Its not often you see Hippo Dung, Maybe in a zoo or a place that’s far flung, Tho some think its great, Its something I hate, It leaves a nasty taste upon my tongue.
There was a sexy and young x-ray fish
Who had a peculiar wish
He wanted a beard
Not thinking it weird
He thought that it would look quite swish
Not thinking it weird
He thought that it would look quite swish
~~~~~~
There was a yellow xanthareel Who ate peanuts with every meal He’d have them with chips Carrots peas and parsnips The protein did probably appeal~~~~~~
There was a xeme that lived in the artic Whose conjuring was fantastic He could with no fear Make polar bears disappear And follow up with a neat slick card trick

Animals K-O
K
When you are fighting a kangaroo There is a strategy that you must do Most experts sayYou should run away
After sticking his tail with some glue.
L
It is often said of the llamas,That they look better when in their pyjamas,
They like to be seen,
Wearing fluorescent green,
And biting the bottoms of farmers.
M
There is a peculiar thing about mice,They have a strange and unique rodent vice,
They like to eat snails,
And fried earwig tails,
With a side salad and chicken fried rice.
N
There once was a great crested newt,Who was handsome and dashing and cute,
He liked to do sums,
Using fingers and thumbs,
But square roots he found hard to compute.
O
Of all the apes the orangutan Is the one of which I am a fan With its orange hair And its cute little stare I’d like to see one whenever I can
