The artist Caravaggio was once arrested for throwing artichokes at a waiter.
What did he do to someone during a tennis match?
in a squabble over a tennis match, Caravaggio murdered his opponent.
However, modern historians believe this is a trifle unfair as it seems that Caravaggio was only trying to cut off the other guys testicles, not actually kill him.

Bit drastic! All he had to say was 'new balls please'

If someone walks up to a man in Burma, and says to him, " Your department store is open, even at weekends.", what does he mean?

A few months ago they found the first warm-blooded fish (to be found ;) ).
It's called the Opah, and looks like a giant orange moon, (Opah=moonfish) t can heat it's body temperature up to 5'c (yay!:D ) warmer than it's surrounding environment, which is a good thing, because it lives down in the ocean where everything is usually transparent and has a million yes. (Kidding...)
Other fish, like Tuna and Sharks, can keep themselves warm by parting blood vessels during their scavenges into the deep, but must keep it short to prevent their organs from going plhhhb.
I thought it was interesting... people just overlooked something they saw all the time, but taking a closer look paid off.

Yes, I saw this, and it is very interesting.
Always look closely at what may be right under your nose.

called The Opah Swimfree Show
