LXV - LXIX

LXV. Before his celebrated Theory Of Relativity, Einstein worked extensively on his Blind Cobblers theory, in which he postulated the theory that blind cobblers tend to make really bad shoes. It was widely discredited by those eminent in science and footwear, and was later discarded.

LXVI. The Aztecs believed that the soul was located in the rectum, which goes a long way to explaining why they died out.

LXVII. Kangaroos can see into the future.

LXVIII. The legendary George Foreman/Muhammad Ali Rumble In The Jungle boxing match in Zaire was originally going to be called Come See Hot Crazy Punch And Judy But With Real Folks! Foreman and Ali's camps both objected strenuously to this title, and it was dropped.

LXIX. Before deciding on The Lizard King, Doors singer Jim Morrison considered The Naughty Night-Owl, The Hamster Of Destiny, Panicked Labrador, The Boiling Toad, The Grief-Stricken Gekko, The Hot Pumpernickel, Penile Ambassador, The Pimpled Lard-Basket, Brian The Brave and The Goose Of Plenty as a nickname.
