My favorite Halifax fun fact: In 1917, a munitions ship exploded in Halifax Harbor. To commemorate the event, the City Council created ‘Splodey, the Halifax explosion mascot.

In addition, each public broadcast of Shaggy’s “Mr. Boombastic” is followed by a moment of silence

IIRC that event is, to this day, the most powerful non-nuclear man-made explosion to ever happen.

My favorite Twatt, Scotland fun fact is that their mascot is Mr. Sploogy.
