I think it's as a result as the original quiz that mentioned that there are
no words which rhyme with orange that our Radio 4 is incuding an article
about this tomorrow morning. As I was only half awake, I think they said
it's on "Home Truths" which runs from 9 am to 10 am or it might have been
the one that follws "Excess Baggage" from 10 am to 10.30 am and as I usually
listen to both, I should catch it. All that was said about it this morning
was that they have some very dodgy rhymes for orange. Both programmes will
be able to be listened to on-line after transmission, so I'll post the URL
after the braodcast.

The quiz that started the 'no rhyme with orange, purple and silver' topic
here is called "QI" which stands for "Quite Interesting" and imparts the
most bizarre facts as well as dispelling a lot of myths. The participants
get 10 points deducted from their total score for a wrong answer such as
"Henry VIII had 6 wives". In fact he probably only had about 3 'wives' - the
only reason I can remember for one not being a wife was because Henry
married his brother's wife which was not allowed so they weren't legally
married.
