How to be a rebel! (part 3)

Do not read the next sentence!

"Nobody tells me what to do, so I'll read what I want!"

Okay. You're a rebel. I like that. Now that we've established that you're a rebel, you may enjoy this week's blog post, as it features rebellious eaters, rebellious crows, and even rebellious headless people!

1) After Before Eight

To start things off, here's an example of insurrectionary confectionary.

True or false: Old fashioned insults (part 2)

It's National Insult Day in a few days' time*, so that means it's time for another insult themed true or false quiz! Take a look at the following insults, and see if you can guess whether they're genuine old fashioned insults from the olden days, or whether I've just made them up.

* October 28th, to be precise.

In the olden days, if someone was talking
flibbertigibbet, they were talking nonsense.
But is that true, or is it flibbertigibbet?

1) Flibbertigibbet

As I've mentioned in one of my previous posts, if someone is talking nonsense, then in China you might exclaim, "Dog fart!" to indicate that they're talking rubbish.

In the olden days, they didn't have any insults quite as amusing as "Dog fart!" but they did have the rather cool expression of 'flibbertygibbet'. To elaborate, in the olden days if you wanted to accuse someone of talking nonsense, you might say, "That's flibbertygibbet!"

Real insult or fake insult?

How many ... does it take to change a light bulb? (part 4)

As has become something of a tradition on the Charles Fudgemuffin blog, this week features another collection of light bulb jokes to celebrate National Light Bulb Day.

Wow! An entire blog post all about me!

1) How many jazz musicians does it take to change a light bulb?
A one, a two, a one two three four!



2) How many Chelsea managers does it take to change a light bulb?
No-one knows. Chelsea managers rarely last longer than a light bulb.



3) One.
How many psychics does it take to change a light bulb?

My 500th blog post!

This week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog reaches a significant landmark ... it's my 500th blog post!

So as I often like to do, I thought I would feature a higher or lower quiz, and in keeping with this week's landmark, every question has a 500 theme to it.

"We're going to need a bigger tape measure."

1) World's fattest man

The average man weighs around 88.8 kilograms, but of course not everyone is average. Some people are skinny, and some people are, er ... 'plus sized'.

But what did the fattest man of all time weigh? Was it more than 500 kilograms, or less than 500 kilograms?

For the benefit of anyone who prefers pounds, 500 kilograms is equivalent to 1,102.3 pounds, so it's very heavy indeed!

Higher or lower?

Guess the haircut quiz!

Believe it or not, October 1st is offically National Haircut Day, so to celebrate this week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog features a haircut themed quiz! Featured below are six celebrities with distinctively famous hairstyles. All you have to do is guess who they are.

It sounds easy, but to make things a little trickier, I've removed their faces. Hopefully though, the haircuts should be distinctive enough to help you identify the celebrity. However, if you do get stuck, then it's a multiple choice quiz, so you can always guess.

1) Musicians

To start things off, here's a band who popularised a famous hairstyle back in the sixties. They should be fairly straight forward to identify for any older readers, and also for any younger readers who appreciate musical history.

"All you need is love ... a moptop."

A) The Beatles
B) Backstreet Boys
C) The Spice Girls
D) Metallica
