Did You Know For October 30

Triboulet – he was a court jester in the Middle Ages. He slapped King Louis of France on the backside which didn’t go down too well. He was given a chance to be forgiven if he could think of something cleverer. So, he says, “I’m sorry, I mistook you for the queen.” Idiot move, because he was sentenced to death. The King asked how would you like to die and Triboulet chose Old Age. The kind was left speechless and let him die of old age You know how they graft skin on burn victims? Well, there’s not enough skin grafts so they have looked at other option. Doctors in Brazil have treated burn victims using fish skin. Thank you to Chrissy for this one – she sent a message on the Proserpine noticeboard about the Airlie Beach Toad Races: They started in 1974, held throughout the years at Airlie Beach Hotel, Club Croc, Wanderer’s Paradise and Magnums. One of the Toad Masters, Nigel Ormerod, made a career out of it, travelling to place like Moranbah, Gold Coast and Brissy. He even went on the Footy Show. Had a vest made out of toad skins. In Switzerland, it is illegal to own just the one Guinea Pig because they are prone to loneliness
