Google legit told me that The Bevis Frond are from Australia the other day.

I'm off to make a cheese toasted sandwich for lunch, which according to MYTH was invented by the Earl of Sandwich.

WRONG. It was Henry Breville, the first Duke of Toastie, who wanted to find out what it was like to eat napalm.

edoffannyside.bsky.social•15 days ago

Let me tell you about the Earl of Sausage.

jodami.bsky.social•15 days ago

He was a true visionary, because napalm hadn’t been invented at the time.

alistaircoleman.bsky.social•15 days ago

Sir Jon Napalm (1176-1216) begs to disagree, had he not died immediately after discovering napalm

jodami.bsky.social•15 days ago

Died the same year as the King, which is suspicious.

alistaircoleman.bsky.social•15 days ago

Author of the Magnum Carta, possibly the most powerful carta in the world. Do you feel lucky?

puddybuddy.bsky.social•15 days ago

Love a Choc Ice too!!

jodami.bsky.social•15 days ago

In all the excitement, I can’t remember if I signed four copies or five.

Actual footage of Henry Breville going to work on the hottest sandwich known to man.

I shared this in my work social chat once and someone was like 'woah! no way' and I didn't know what to do next

danmckee.bsky.social•15 days ago

Off the point but I always think that’s a work of genius. “Invented by Thomas running” is good. “Tried to walk twice” is Milligan level of absurd brilliance

hellsbells.bsky.social•15 days ago

It really is amazing!

You could imagine that line gambling out of Peter cook at some point in between draws on a cigarette

@bethanyblack.bsky.social has let me know this was written by Andrew Nadeau and it has since been assimilated into the general internet, super happy to be able to credit the writer :)

hellsbells.bsky.social•15 days ago

Oh hopefully it is clear but I didn't write the original of this, I am not sure who did but happy to credit if anyone does know!

Thomas Running was just improving on a previous and truly groundbreaking invention of Johnny Walking.

And this is why we can’t just Google things anymore-we don’t know if the information is correct

Alfredo Bolognese and his crime family opened the first pasta restaurant as a front. Unfortunately, the Family refused to launder money for rival Cesar Caprese. This resulted in the internationally famous Guerra del Pomodoro conflict, which continues to this day.

I wonder if they knew Mr. Soup.

Thanks me listening to @andydawson.bsky.social's TFTM podcast, I have trained my kids to believe all things were invented by John [Name of thing] in [random year].

andydawson.bsky.social•14 days ago

Can I be a pedant and add that it's always Sir John (Thing) and it was always in 1862?

linguafrancis.bsky.social•14 days ago

As Sir John Pedant has been observing since 1862.

craighamilton.bsky.social•14 days ago

Doh. You'd think I'd know this after listening to 8 million hours of TFTM, but you are of course correct and I stand corrected.

Can't wait ChatGPT bringing you soup recipy as originally created by John Soup

Not for me. The Google algorithm has decided surrealism is your thing.

The decision to train fact searching AIs on a website at least 50% used for telling jokes is the most amazing thing to me. They must have known? I guess they… don’t really care? But they do seem to care a bit?

callalily57.bsky.social•14 days ago

Lately, it seems like it's set so that the AI thing at the top comes mostly from wikipedia if there is a relevant wiki page, so that's at least an improvement. Though notable that the improvement is to have the computer go to the human-edited resource.

Sounds like a Little Britain gag. In good way.
