Random and possibly untrue facts about badgers.

[Prolescum]

Back in the murky days of 1943, badgers were employed in the collection of wool from its native habitat in the forests of Epping. Wool spores are exceptionally difficult to find due to the sheer size of Britain's most popular national woodland park. Haberdashers across the Kingdom rejoiced at this most popular of wartime policies.

Badgers are most commonly located in the caves of West Lothian and can often be seen pondering a very important question. No one is entirely sure whether an answer will ever be found.

Badgers rarely give interviews, however, in 1987, a researcher for the light entertainment talk show Wogan, hosted by irreverent Pakistani news anchor Terry Wogan, was able to convince a quartet of Westminister lodge badgers to talk on camera for the first time; it is in this interview that the reason badgers refer to themselves as Edwardian was explained.

They were also able to dispel some other myths that surrounded them, namely that they had a fear of the colour orange and were unable to fathom the concept of the ball-point pen.

I think I once told you about that badger that pestered Henry VIII. Needless to say, there were many headless badgers in that time period.

That reminds me: Pope Clement VII loved badgers so much that he kept one as a pet. When the story got out, people from all over pilgrimaged to see the blessed badger (check Cantebury Tales for reference). When the badger died, the row over canonization put forth the question of whether or not badgers went to heaven. Finally Pope Paul III resolved this issue with an infallible statement that No, Badgers did not indeed go to Heaven, and the matter has since been closed.

The propaganda against badgers will never prevail. Those night-wing fascists at the UN and their 'standing shoulder to shoulder' with the so-called birds of prey (hawks). Awful stuff.

Oddly, no. However, I do see Bodger from time to time on the high street. True story.

Some badgers got angry when the rumor spread.

Well, they get like that when they run out of butter.

True with respect to humans. With respect to badgers, I don't know. I hear they're hardcore in one or the other, but not both. Rumors...
