The Guild of Owain Glyndyr: "Defending Welsh heritage - without fear or favour". Many, many things you probably don't know about the Welsh. For instance: did you know the Welsh posses more microwave ovens per capita in the world?

  • Them dorty microwaves! Send out a posse!
  • So if proud Canadians wear maple leaves on their backpacks, do the Welsh display rocks?
  • do the Welsh display rocks? It's a Celt thing.
  • America was named after Richard Ameryk - a Welsh customs official. He was rewarded because he was one of the chief investors in John Cabot's 1497 expedition to the new world.
    The Welsh also invented gravity and sunshine. On their days off, Welshmen deliver the prayers of needy children directly to the ear of god. This man is Welsh, even if he doesn't know it; if he denies it, it's because he's shy and unassuming.
  • Well, I say, bah on them who tries to filch the precious usquebaugh!
  • Jack Daniels Bourbon, Evan Williams Bourbon and Mathews Southern Comfort were all first brewed by Welsh brewers who left Wales during the temperance period of the Welsh non-conformist church. I had no idea there was an entire country I could blame for the events of the first night I tried bourbon. Or, rather, what I remember of it.
  • Doeddwn i ddim yn gwybod hynny
  • I'm just glad my name isn't "Sue Ellen Llewellyn".
  • But wait! dear Wolof, Helen Ellen Llewellyn sounds even sillier.
  • According to the larest research, Jesus' grandmother (Mary's mother) was Welsh! Okay, in this case, the theological implications are staggering. This assumes that "larest research" is Welsh for "latest research." (I'm not dwellin' on Helen Ellen Llewellyn btw, in case anyone asks.)
