Ok - I know saying spurious these days means that half the board roll their eyes and avoid it like the plague, but it's really not that hard/odd and even if it is you can't deny that it's often funny.
So this thread is a chain of randomness, all you have to do is give us a spurious fact that relates to the previous fact?
Got it?
good.
Right.
Belgium has the highest pencil to multi-storey carpark ration in the world.

Multi story car parks were originally intended for the storage of hot air balloons in urban centres

Hot air balloons work on the basic pricinple that things that appear stupid float in the air, hence David Blaine can levitate.
It is worth noting that the more ridiculous the appearance of a hot air balloon the higher it can fly.

Estonia is the only european nation to outlaw Jim Carey movies. The 'comical' face shifter is known to cause such riotous reactions in depressed working class types of the eastern bloc that the government decided to prevent all of his films from being aired again, apart from Me, Myself & Irene, which even the Estonians don't find funny.
Carey is said to be 'Shhhmokin'

The film Me Myself & Irene was a real life story adaptation of Tim Henmans Early life though he was portrayed as a Police Officer, due to 68% of Americans not knowing what Tennis is it is a startlingly accurate account of his life.

"The Iron Curtain" has been a nickname for many things, not least among which are Delia Smith's Cauliflower Wellington, a peculiarly horrible dish that doubles as a chastity undergarment...

Wellington is the capital of New Zealand. New Zealand is known to be a beautiful country spoilt only by the people, much like America. America is the largest consumer per capita of stickle bricks in the world.

Delia Smith once had a blood test and her blood results turned out to be pure Colemans English Mustard

Mustard is actually fictional, the taste is merely a figment of your imagination brought about by menu based trickery. The same goes for cous cous.

Cous Cous was invented by Ainsley Harriott by accident while on ready steady cook it tasted so horrible that the UN were called in and changed history so much that the world now blames north African Countries for it

America is the largest consumer per capita of stickle bricks in the world. Stickle bricks were invented in 1923 by J. Edgar Hoover, but his idea was stolen by a man named Erwin Stickle before he could apply for a patent. Erwin went on to change his surname to Rommel, and achieve moderate levels of success as a military tactician.

That was invented by Frenchman Claude D'Vacuum Cleanier, and was originally used to pull from the front line any Frenchmen who hadn't heard the call to surrender.

I like Couscous, much like the people of Morocco. It is well known that it is actually derived from the discharge found in the corner of one's eyes when one wakes from a deep sleep, however.

In actual fact, the second coming of jesus will occur when the last lemming jumps!

In the original computer game "Lemmings" there was a mission entitled "Origins and Lemmings" which was designed on the same principles as Karnak Temple in Egypt. Coincidentally, were a Lemming to leap off the roof of the first Hypostyle Hall, it would reach a terminal velocity that would undoubtedly turn it into a delicious fruit drink of the St Clements variety.
