Fun fact for the penguin is the natural predator of the killer whale, penguins will frequently flock together & sit on the whales back, using their combined weight to force it below the waves where it eventually drowns.
It is estimated that penguins kill more than 2000 orcas a year using this method.

There is a cult in the small Welsh village of Cilgerran in Pembroke that worships a pineapple.
Apparently one was brought to the village in 1926 & the people were so amazed by it they took to worshipping it.
They have since abandoned all other religions in favour following the doctrine of the one true pineapple!

in 1796, a catastrophic loss for the last remaining mounted sheep division of the Welsh army results in defeat in the famous battle of Abercwmflipflop (also known as the last stand of Les y llaeth )
The resulting occupation by the Andorran army would last for 120 years!

Wales is so often used as a frame of reference ‘An area the size of Wales is burnt / destroyed / has collapsed etc etc’ that the amount of paperwork created by media people using the phrase, if piled up, would now be larger than an area the size of Wales.
