Random WOW: ' Oldest Battery '

Largest Garden

If, for some reason, you've ever poked around in a pile of mud, congratulations are in order: for you are a gardener!

Gardening was invented by Geoff Hamilton in 1973 whilst he was burying the corpse of a dog he'd accidentally run over. A BBC camera crew happened upon him, and Hamilton hastily made the excuse that he was 'installing a water feature'. Minutes later, Britain was overcome by water feature fever, and Hamilton rocketed to fame!

Garden design has since become a multi-million pound business, and you only need look at the prices in your local garden centre to see why - A milkshake costs £1.90, and yet is utter rubbish!

However, the largest garden required no designer, nor the use of any wheelbarrows or shovels. None of those things even existed when it was created.

Because the largest garden is, of course, the Garden of Eden, which is where the first people, Adam and Eve frolicked.

Also in the Garden of Eden lived a snake named Timothy and an apple tree. Timothy tricked Eve into eating one of the apples, and she fell asleep for several million years, until a handsome Prince appeared and kissed her back to life.
Adam, meanwhile, transformed into a fish, and spent his time attempting to evolve back into a human.
