Orange (http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/orange) has almost no perfect rhymes. The only word in the 20-volume historical Oxford English Dictionary that rhymes with orange is sporange, a very rare alternative form of sporangium (http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/sporangium) (a botanical term for a part of a fern or similar plant).

In my work we do a 'veggie meal' which is a veggie burger and chips. Everytime someone orders it I inform them that they are deep fried in beef fat, almost without exception people say 'yeah that's fine'. 'Hypocrite meal' has a ring to it...

Strangely, asparagus makes everyone's urine smell funny because of sulfurous amino acids in asparagus. Even stranger, most people can't smell the changes asparagus makes to the urine, because they lack the "aspargus pee smelling gene". Not surprisingly, this gene has also been linked to exceptional intelligence and incredible good looks.
