That baby's going on the CV.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
For the past several seasons, the character of Butters on the South Park TV series has been voiced by Leonard Cohen.
more bass
Kids TV programme "Peppa Pig" is banned in Denmark because the little cartoon pig characters fail to wear seatbelts when Daddy Pig is driving his car.
Nobody knows us, we don't care
There are 32 pods on the London eye. They are numbered 1-33, but pod no. 13 is skipped....

Interesting theory on first names versus surnames, but none of the examples you've given there are lands 'discovered' by the Spanish. Colombia (Columbus) would fit that theory though, as would the Phillipines.
Mostly the Spanish named places after where they were or what was found / seen there - Ecuador (equator), Honduras (deep water), Argentina (silver.....can't remember the other part)
Tina Turner was singing on the beach as they were arriving.
Good evening!

We're not arrogant, we're just better.

I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Hitler had a mostly vegetarian diet, but it's believed that he ate meat occasionaly - particularly Bavarian sausages, caviar and the rare slice of ham.
Nazi Herman Goring did however right a lot of the animal rights laws that are in place today - though re-worded. Many people believe that they were only keen to give animals rights so that they could place the jews on societies lowest rung. You know - you can't beat a dog but you can set fire to a jew, to put it bluntly and indelicately.
With regards to interesting vegetarian info, here's my contribution:
The roman gladiators were vegan, living mainly off a diet of barley.

On a similar note, it was on Have I Got News For You once that Postman Pat was banned in Japan because the characters had four fingers. This was a symbol of the yazuka, the Japanese Mafia. Postman Pat was finally sold to Japanese telly in 2005. Seeing as almost all cartoon characters have only four fingers, it probably got too inconvenient to ban everything.
Was wondering what you meant there, but schumi's link kind of proves it. Nice spot!
"Almost" is the longest word in the english dictionary where the letters are actually in alphabetical order

The Nazi's were also into conservation, and were imstrumental in ensuring vast swathes of German and Polish forests are still around today.
Also, DYK:
There are more female than male university students in Iran.
The Great Wall of China is not visible from space (read about it in those great stocking-filler QI books but here's the snopes link.).
Shannon is the only town in Ireland that you can't drive straight through....why would ya want too!!!!
When firing a canon and counting down from 10...the British army dont say the number five as it sounds too like fire.

They also discovered that smoking was damaging to health decades before anyone else, and campaigned against it. I think the bad may have outweighed the good just a tad though.
The longest one-syllable word in the English language is screeched.
The only domestic animal not mentioned in the Bible is the cat.
