People of the English town of Hartlepool, and especially supporters of tis football team are known as "monkey-hangers". The nickname relates to a time in days of yore when a ship was wrecked near the port town of Hartlepool. A surviving monkey wandered in to the town and as the townspeople had obviously never seen such a creature before they arrested it and tried to interogate it. As for obvious reasons it couldnt/wouldnt reply they came to the conclusion it was a spy from Spain or some other enemy country and hung it.

Holy Moly no offense to any monkeys out there but that is one great story.

Speaking of Frenchmen, did you know that Andre the Giant once drank 117 bottles of German beer in one sitting? It's true.
Sadly, this "Did You Know" fact is just another reason why Jordon doesn't like wrestling.
