I got as far as the first 2 "facts" and thought "eh?", never heard the term "goolies" refer to money, it refers to man's bits! And Quid being Shilling (17 cents), now maybe it originated as that but I don't think so......I love how DW says quid now!

update

Ha ha.....thought it was being serious at that point..........I should have read on further!  ;D

 :D I read it and thought the same thing initially -- that this was a serious thing, done by some earnest but wrong or woefully out of date person.  And then I got to 'underpatns'.  :P

Yeah, I had the exact same reaction.  I was getting very annoyed at first and then kept reading for a good chuckle.
