For hundreds of years one of the most beloved of professions was that of the Honied Rat Peddler. For a penny anyone could buy a fresh rat smeared in honey as a tasty treat. For tuppence toffs could buy a toffied rat, pre-killed at no extra cost. Rat-on-a-stick was haโ€™penny extra.

In 1816 Dublinโ€™s โ€œHa'penny Bridgeโ€ was plagued by irate leprechauns who had been disturbed during its construction. To catch the Wee Folk, nets were erected along the bridge, baited with stout & whisky. This merely encouraged every Fairy in the county to come & join the party.

By 1958 firework displays at parties had been largely replaced by the fashion for exploding indoor atomic bombs, to delight children & adults alike. It was not until 1974 that health & safety concerns led to sales of nuclear devices being restricted to those over the age of 18.

In 1898 Aeneus Clench attempted to be the 1st person to circumnavigate the globe by riding a Penny-Farthing backwards. Despite a sterling effort he did not achieve his goal as the feat was completed 9 days earlier by Fanny Chaffing, who chose a route which avoided going up steps.

In 1941 Arizona once again suffered spates of violent & spine-tinglingly horrific attacks from a marauding cactoid. A team comprised of police, FBI & forensic cryptobotanists worked to apprehend the psychoplant but despite 867 gruesome deaths the serial tekiller remains at large.
