• ... that Queen Victoria was abandoned at a children's reformatory, called "The auld bitch" by James Joyce, and now lives in Sydney?

• ALT1:The first hook is deliberately misleading (in the 'april fools' style). For something more direct I propose, "DYK that the last Royal statue to be erected in Australia, Queen Victoria, was also the last one to be erected in Ireland."

• New enough, long enough, well-sourced with many online sources, and no copyvio issues. The hook is amusing and attention-catching as well. Looks good. —Moxfyre (ǝɹʎℲxoɯ | contrib) 15:18, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
