Sorry but thats bullshit.

The Red Ensign would have been flown over Parliament when Sir John A. MacDonald was Prime Minister so the flag depiction on the ten is correct.

The male pig has a corkscrew shaped penis that looks like his tail, and he slowly "winds" into the female pig before achieving a ten-minute-long orgasm.

Grand Tetons literally means "big tits".

A sex change has never been performed in Ireland, yet!

Lions will have sex about 500 times with one mate to ensure fertilization.

A female orgasm is a powerful painkiller (due to the release of endorphins), so headaches are in fact a bad excuse not to have sex!
