The "I Didn't Know" Thread

[Rev. Powell]

I didn't know it would be so hard to come up with something I didn't know.  I've been thinking for days and I'm coming up blank.

I guess that means you know everything.

I didn't know there was such a big difference between country fried steak and chicken fried steak. Adding to the confusion, apparently a chicken fried steak can be made of beef.
Country fried (chicken) steak origins stem from Austria's wiener schnitzel.
so, frozen country fried steak (Tyson) may resemble a typical schnitzel, but it is nothing like a typical country fried steak even though its origins are from a schnitzel.

However, the main culprit lies apparently in the breading: a country fried steak is sort of flaky, a schnitzel is not.

In other words, Tyson's frozen country fried steak is technically everything a country fried steak should be, but its not.

I learned this the hard way

I didn't know Russell Johnson aka The Professor from Gilligan's Island was in two Twilight Zones.

Back There 1961 and Execution 1960. That's so awesome!

As well as Attack Of The Crab Monsters from the late 1950's. Got to see that one o' times on WNEW 5's Creature Features.

The man was made for "B"

Also the sci fi classics THIS ISLAND EARTH and IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE!

Funny you should mention It Came From Outer Space: it was the movie that featured the opening theme song for WNEW 5's Creature Features, called "Visitors From Space."  Dick Jacobs And His Orchestra remade the song in 1958 and added a theremin and some weird combos of brass, drums and other instruments. It's way better than the one in the movie!

If you lived in the Tri-State area as a kid, you never forgot the Creature Features themesong, that's for sure, nor did you forget that creepy distorted monster face that glowed on and off as the music played! Some say it was a picture of Glenn Strange's Frankenstein Monster.
