NORAD Santa is really useful to me!  That's the only I could get my renlet to go to bed tonight, by showing her that Santa was still down in Central America, and he wasn't going to turn back North until all the kids up here were in bed, asleep!  Worked like a charm!  :D

great stuff, isnt it? i love it.

QuoteGoogle shows a great many sources for that one. Probably relating back to a time when tipping and/or rocking a soda machine would cause it to give free soda. That issue has long been fixed, but the other issue was those machines weigh several hundred pounds...tip it too far and.....splat.





Coca Cola is actually green before coloring is added to it.


Does that make it "Soylent" Cola?  :D ;)

Michael Meyers mask in the Halloween movies is made from a William Shatner "Captain Kirk" mask off of Star Trek. All those movies he is killing people they were running from an eyebrowless Captain Kirk that was really pale.

I feel ancient as the hills...... especially over the last couple weeks.

In ancient Egypt, priests plucked EVERY hair from their bodies, including their eyebrows and eyelashes.
