actually, the word "vagina" comes from the latin for scabbard. And Chaucer's spelling of cunt as "quaint" was just him: nobody could spell back then; the later meaing/spelling of quaint is just coincidence. And the posh one is bollocks too: it's actually a derivation for the gipsy word for pocket; posh people having deep pockets and short arms, dontchaknow.

And one of my own... bugger, i can't actually think of anything which i know to be true which people will be interested to hear. I guess i'm just a bit of a killjoy. Aah, sod it, here's one which is thoroughly uninteresting: whether or not you can roll your tongue is determined by a recessive but common gene. That is to say that some people simply cannot roll their tongue, and never shall be able to. There is a theory that this is owing to, at some point in the past of our species, some kind of cross-breeding with another species of ape for which the ability to form a tube with its tongue was an advantage; probably something to do with sucking ants off of trees.
