Wasn't that in the incarnation before (The Paris Valentinos) with Marr, Rourke and "Curly" Kennedy?

I spen three years at college with two rabid Smiths fans sharing most lectures and you tend to get this sort of thing jammed into your head with a gladioli stem on an almost daily basis.

I remember they'd told me some Smiths facts two or three times within the first week of a two year diploma course. It didn't bode well for the rest of the time to come ;D :roll:

My facts?

Gorillas can't swim!

Elephants can't jump!

:von: is allergic to recording studios!

I also have heard people claim on different occasions that glass is a liquid. Can anyone explain that one? "Ever notice how old glass panes are thicker at the bottom?" tends to be an argument. Does that mean that leaving two panes of glass laying on top of one another for decades/centuries will result in one pane of glass as they flow and blend together? :?:

Here is one summary on the subject, which comments on the pane glass example.

Curly brings up the fact he was in a "band" with Marr every time he's interviewed. "I don't like talking about it" he usually says. He'd love to be able to say he was really in the Smiths... but he wasn't, he arsed about with Johnny Marr for a bit before Marr got a proper band together.
Curly is a cockend.

It's illegal to drink beer out of a bucket while you're sitting on a curb in St. Louis.

And most lipstick contains fish scales.

Strictly speaking, the peanut is not a nut, but a legume.

The longest recorded flight of a chicken is 13 seconds.

Needless to say we're talking about a voluntary flight here, without any help by, say:

* a cannon
* a seesaw
* a trebuchet
* a controlled nuclear explosion
* rectally applied Worchester sauce on said poultry

A day on Venus is longer than a year. It takes less time to travel round the sun than it does to rotate on itself.
