****************************************************************************************
57 out of 100 ornithologists believe that "the MGM lion, whose name was Reuben, was also the inspiration behind the idea of the 'Lion Bar' confectionary snack - as he used to consume 3 litres of chocolate a day".
45 of those 57 think that "if a statue of a person on a horse that has both front legs in the air, then the person died in battle; if the horse has one front leg in the air, then the person died as a result of wounds received in battle; and if the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died having played 'chicken' with a motor vehicle".
2 of those 45 think that "20 people a week die in America when crushed as a result of shaking vending machines. It happens when they attempt to illegally loosen up free merchandise such as soft drinks, savoury snacks, roast dinners and Persian rugs".
