Purple, orange, silver and oxygen, actually.

You can get Lozenge to rhyme with Orange, actually....

"I bought some sweets and a large lozenge,
I thought it was lemon but it tasted orange"

There's loads of rhymes for Oxygen, as the second syllable rhymes with 'then'.

"I said to Houston I was out of Oxygen
If you wanna vote do it by proxy then"

You can contrive a rhyme for Silver:

"She was draped with loads of silver
I wanted to take it so I had to kill her"

As for purple, same sort of thing:

"Fergies face is always bright purple
he looks like a drunk, choking uncle"

I'm available for writing inside birthday cards.

My other option for purple was

"I saw some cubs and they were purple
I got me a club to start a bear cull"

"I saw this girl wearing purple
my bird noticed and I got an ear full"

Errr no.

The legend after the "people alive today" one is just as good...

"The Great Wall of China is the only man-made object visible from the moon"
(I actually said this to someone the other day, thinking I was great to know such things!!)

Completely false, no man made objects can be seen from the moon with the naked eye.

Yes I do. I'll qualify them... These are partial syllable rhymes, perfect for songs and ditties, where emphasis on specific syllables can force a rhyme. Full rhymes they ain't, but the original statement didn't specify FULL rhymes.

In some regional dialects, some can be perfect rhymes, but in others they do not work. In the Queen's Spoken English they'll probably never work...

If you want your kitchen cabinets to have a really nice, non smeary shine, spray them with ASDA's kitchen cleaner for hobs and such and polish with a paper towel.

If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle.

If the horse has one front leg in the air the person died as a result of wounds received in battle.

If the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person die of natural causes.

Can't be bothered to see if its in this thread so i'll just ask and see;

When you get eyelashes in your eye where do they go because over the course of your life there must be thousands of them, so where are they?

And moths are attracted to the light, but why exactly?

I had another but ive its slipped my mind for the time being so...That'll do me!
