For hundreds of years one of the most beloved of professions was that of the Honied Rat Peddler. For a penny anyone could buy a fresh rat smeared in honey as a tasty treat. For tuppence toffs could buy a toffied rat, pre-killed at no extra cost. Rat-on-a-stick was haโ€™penny extra.

In 1816 Dublinโ€™s โ€œHa'penny Bridgeโ€ was plagued by irate leprechauns who had been disturbed during its construction. To catch the Wee Folk, nets were erected along the bridge, baited with stout & whisky. This merely encouraged every Fairy in the county to come & join the party.

By 1958 firework displays at parties had been largely replaced by the fashion for exploding indoor atomic bombs, to delight children & adults alike. It was not until 1974 that health & safety concerns led to sales of nuclear devices being restricted to those over the age of 18.

Although consumption of Chinese Green Tea is popular many hidden dangers go unreported, such as explosive gastrickery. Some varieties are particularly hazardous at specific times of the year. Undoubtedly no one can deny the dangers of drinking Gunpowder Tea on the 5th of November

In 1941 Arizona once again suffered spates of violent & spine-tinglingly horrific attacks from a marauding cactoid. A team comprised of police, FBI & forensic cryptobotanists worked to apprehend the psychoplant but despite 867 gruesome deaths the serial tekiller remains at large.

2017 saw more speculation regarding a phenomenon Ancient Egyptians called โ€œKhem trailsโ€. Despite nonsensical theories concerning government conspiracies to spray citizens, it has been scientifically proven these are merely ectoplasmic gas excreted by the ghosts of crashed planes.

It is sadly typical of the ignorance shown by most of the public that many citizens believe the Undead simply arise from their tombs to tear them limb from limb, not realising the years of diligent study needed to learn how to vivisect the living & extract souls for culinary use.
