Marmite is great. I had an ex who had it with breakfast every day and I've since become a bit of an addict.

Used to love it on toast as a kid. Granted I haven't had it since then either as it's not exactly top of the shopping list material!

You know why the Ohio River caught fire in the 70s? Because someone took some Marmite over there and scooped it out into the river.

Of the 19 perpetrators of 9/11, 17 were confirmed fans of Marmite.

Other lovers of Marmite include Iosef Stalin, Adolf Hitler, Pol Pot, Ho Chi Minh, General Franco, Benito Mussolini, Professor Salazar, Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden (Interesting fact, all senior members of Al Qaeda must profess humility and devotion towards Marmite), and Robert Mugabe.

Marmite is manufactured by taking industrial waste, mixing it with the parts of a rat considered unsuitable for going into a hot dog, a single cow patty, and mixing it in a cauldron for three hours at a high temperature.

Before they ate Marmite, Bethesda made Morrowind. After trying Marmite, Bethesda made Oblivion.

Pope Leo XIII issued an encyclical condemning Marmite as "An Abomination unto the Lord" and calling for all true Christians, regardless of denomination, to put aside any schismatic or doctrinal differences and work together to destroy Marmite, and to invite anyone of other faiths to join in this holy mission.

Whilst penning the Geneva Conventions, there was much scoffing over the need to include the use of Marmite as a crime against humanity or a war crime. "Surely", said S.K.u.K.H. Otto I von Habsburg, "Not even the most ignorant savage of Africa nor the most cruel bureaucrat of China would be so inhuman and deranged as to force the consumption of that unmentionable substance upon another."

He was sadly proven wrong when one of the foods offered to captured R.A.F. pilots in WW2 was Marmite. Several chose suicide instead.

NASA considered using Marmite as a new form of paint-on ablative heat shielding for shuttle re-entry, but computer simulations suggested that the Marmite burnt off in the course of descent would spread a poisonous cloud over hundreds of square miles.

Certain isolated tribes consider Marmite to be associated with a malevolent God. Some consider it parts of the God itself, some the God's leavings or blood, but all agree that various rites and even sacrifices must be made to hold the evil thing at bay. If the god were allowed to fully form the world would be destroyed.

SETI has picked up transmissions which, after extensive decoding and analysis, strongly imply that Earth is under a galaxywide alien quarantine until such time as Marmite is eradicated.

The Zodiac Killer was actually overshadowed by an even more deranged murderer in the state of California - the Marmite Killer. Over the course of seventeen years MK murdered 13 known victims. He left their corpses laid out as though on a crucifix, with dots of Marmite placed on the palms and feet to represent Christ's stigmata.

The signatories of the world's various Antarctic Treaties have all agreed to never take the substance to the frozen continent. To date this is known to have been adhered to scrupulously by all parties.

In the early 20th century Marmite was commonly used as an ad-hoc adhesive substance to patch up holes in damaged airframes and ships. Though it saw some commendable service in this role during WW1, the years following saw escalating rates of cancer, schizophrenia, and cardiac arrest amongst both air crews and the Navy.

I have never tried Marmite, and I consider its lack one of the US's best aspects.

Madame Adequate

The governments of the USA, UK, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the Russian Federation, the People's Republic of China, and Japan maintain a top secret facility known only by the codename 'MYRMIDON'. It contains a number of ICBMs loaded not with nuclear payloads but Marmite. The only event in which they may be deployed, under any circumstances, and with the unanimous consent of all member countries, is in the event of a Lovecraftian horror breaking through into our reality.

Madame Adequate

If forced to choose between allowing Marmite into the US and abolishing the First Amendment, 98% of Americans chose to do away with that historic and vital document.

87% of all people who have tried Marmite have developed superpowers. The remaining 13% only benefitted from minor increases in strength, stamina, and sexual potency.
