Styx were not in Grease, it was Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta

Didn't Olivia Newton-John discover gravity when a koala fell out of its tree and landed on John Travolta?

I liked the digressions very much: they were not only funny, but full of useful additions to the noble game of cockfighting.
And I never knew that Shakespeare hailed from Stratford-on- River:-) What language is the word "Avon" from? BTW, are animal-loving Australians and Indonesians going to ban human cagefighting? Or ice hockey, that is a charming mix of cagefighting and figure skating? Don't ban me, please!!! |

[QUOTE=ariel;267507...
What language is the word "Avon" from?...[/QUOTE] Etymology. The name "Avon" is a cognate of the Welsh word afon [ˈavɔn] "river", both being derived from the Common Brittonic abona, "river". "River Avon", therefore, literally means "river river"; several other English and Scottish rivers share the name. |
