Bugger, beat me to it.
The word FUCK comes from the acronym for Forced Unlawful Carnal Knowledge, which was written on ye olde raypiste's celle doore. Perhaps

I'd say the one about the dog costing £10,000 has some truth to it as well |

In the 1400's a law was set forth in England that a man was allowed to beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb.
Hence we have 'the rule of thumb'

Sorry to say this one is a myth too. the rule of thumb refers to pressing your thumb on to a flat surface, and as the thumb deforms sideways its supposed to be one inch..... supposedly used by carpenters...QI again.

But there was at the time when it was lawful to beat your wife or servant a rule of law that restricted the stick to the thickness of your thumb even if the derivation of the expression was incorrect
Foods that dont spoil also include sugar and vinegar.
All the court cards in a pack represent an historical or mythical figure not just the kings and cards produced in France still have the names on the cards.
By the way the old one in the song "Deck of Cards" that the pips add up to 365 is wrong each suit has the same number of pips and there is an even number of suits so it cant be true.
