For the Jellyfish one, there is actually a clinical study going on about what the regeneration mechanism is and how we can translate that to humans. A scientist has actually reverted a jellyfish back to its infant state 12 times thus far. I read about it at work on Friday...

The Michelin man is called Bibendum and he used to be a drunk dude. He also used to smoke cigars and wear a pince-nez.





The peace symbol began as a self portrait. It was by Gerald Holtom of the CND:

Holtom said;
“I was in despair. Deep despair. I drew myself: the representative of an individual in despair, with hands palm outstretched outwards and downwards in the manner of Goya’s peasant before the firing squad. I formalised the drawing into a line and put a circle round it.”

One more for today. Have you ever wondered why the US is called "Uncle Sam"?

The name is linked to Samuel Wilson, a meat packer from Troy, New York, who supplied barrels of beef to the United States Army during the War of 1812. Wilson (1766-1854) stamped the barrels with "U.S." for United States, but soldiers began referring to the grub as "Uncle Sam's." The local newspaper picked up on the story and Uncle Sam eventually gained widespread acceptance as the nickname for the U.S. federal government.

Mozart (yes, THAT Mozart) made a song called "Leck mir den Arsch fein recht schön sauber", or "Lick my ass nice and clean"... The fact that a bunch of young women in the video below can sing this with a straight face is beyond me... I'd probably be 2 verses in and double over laughing (Ich kann sprechen ein bisschen Deutsch).

Gives a whole new meaning to Rock Me Amadeus, eh?
