The Wicket Truth
Where did the first test cricket match take place, PRAY TELL? Was it upon the hallowed turf of Lords? Some dusty, palm-fringed pitch outside old Madras? Perhaps amidst the nascent city centre of Sydney? Nein, nein, and thrice nein. It was in Hoboken, New Jersey, USA, in 1844.

Shitty Wizard
Kaboom! Let's recommence facts.
The origins of Merlin, King Arthur's wizardly chum, are shrouded in obscurity. However, one theory is that the wizard's original name was MERDINUS, and that this was changed to 'Merlin' by Geoffrey of Monmouth (one of the first writers to mention him) who was worried about the resemblance of the name to the French merde (shit).
