Reading Time: 2 minutes Here’s something that many people probably don’t know. One of the most popular children’s tales ever told, Peter Pan, was based on a real person. J. M. Barrie, the author of the story, based the title character on his informally adopted son, Peter Llewelyn Davies. What’s more, the real Peter Pan, as he would come to be known …
Reading Time: 2 minutes Well I’ll be. There’s no yes and no in Irish Gaelic. That’s right, the Irish language doesn’t use the words yes or no. In the English language, and most other languages, few words get used as much as yes and no. They are words that we use every day, usually when answering a question. You may …
Reading Time: 2 minutes I thought for our first fact it would be appropriate to have a fact about facts and factoids. So what’s the difference between a fact and a factoid? A fact is clearly something that is true and the information is reliable. A fact is something that courts, scientific experiments and reliable referencing material, such as dictionaries …

Reading Time: 2 minutes When you hear the phrase “the luck of the Irish,” most people consider it to be a term of endearment. But it’s origin is far from a loving one, in fact it was coined with a fair bit of disdain towards the Irish. That’s right, the origin of “luck of the Irish” was a racist …

Reading Time: 2 minutes There’s little doubt, at least in my own twisted mind, that one of the most annoying terms of endearment that have been adopted, or, in this case, invented, is the simple and annoying word, bae. But until relatively recently most people thought it was the ideal word for the person closest to your heart. But …
Reading Time: 2 minutes Think about this for a moment. When was the last time that you saw a female leprechaun? Probably never, but if you have please share the pot o’ gold with me. The reason that you have never seen a female one, aside from them being as fictional as a unicorn, is because leprechauns are always male. …
Reading Time: 4 minutes So why did the Tin Man want a heart? Once you get through this you will realize that it’s one of the most messed up characters in juvenile fiction ever. Not because he was a shinny guy, but because of the bizzarre circumstances surrounding his creation. I do suppose thought that the logical answer to the …
