Fact Of The Day

[Trevor]

Andrew Lincoln of "The Walking Dead" is Ian (Jethro Tull) Anderson's son-in-law.

Wow: I didn't know that. 

[Trevor]

Clooney actually had personality.  Kilmer could have been replaced by a cardboard cutout in most of his scenes and nobody would have noticed. 

That's what they did with Bruce Lee in one of the scenes in Game of Death

There again we'll put off, till next time, what we were going to post and post this instead.

Spider-man : Far from Home
The students, instead of attending a street festival in Prague, which is what they want to do, attend an opera, which is what they do not want to do. Though, some of the greatest music ever composed has been from operas and operettas and is still used in . . .

Events (both public and private) -- Films -- Radio -- Short subjects (both animated and live action) -- and TV.
And here are some examples.

Bizet
Carmen Fantasy for Orchestra

Donizetti
Sextet from Lucia de Lammermor

Mozart
Marriage of Figaro Overture

Rossini
Barber of Seville Overture
William Tell Overture

Verdi
Anvil Chorus from Il Trovatore
Brindisi from La Traviata
La Donna i Mobile from Rigoletto
The March from Aida

Von Suppe
Bocaccio Overture
Light Cavalry Overture
Poet and Peasant Overture

Wagner
Bridal March from Lohengrin
March from Tannahauser
Prelude to Act 3 of Lohengrin
Ride of the Valkyres from Die Walkure

Next time: the research should be done, and I should be able to post what I have been promising to post the last two time.

80% of all restaurants in Germany use Convenience food (prepared food) - processed meats, canned products, pre-cooked pasta and potatoes, sauces, vegetables.
Food that only needs to be reheated, in microwaves most likely

The Most Haunted Place in the U.S.?
Probably The Happiest Place in the U.S.
Here are some of the haunts that have  been reportedly seen at Disneyland.

01. Debbie Stone
a cast member who was killed in a workplace accident while working at America Sings, which no longer exists at Disneyland.

02. Disco Debbie
another cast member, but this one at Space Mountain, and who apparently suffered a stroke while in the backstage area of the attraction.

03. Dolly
a guest who was killed while riding the Matterhorn, when she removed her safety restraint. People, they are there for a reason.

04. The Ghost Who Prefers Blondes
on the People Mover, if there is a blonde in the front seat and an empty seat in back, there is a ghost who likes to sit in the back and muss with the blonde's hair.

05. The Haunted Mansion Heart Attack
apparently, the attraction was so scary, that one of the 1st guests to ride it--died, and now he is a permanent part of the attraction.

To be continued . . .

The person who wrote the song Take me out to the Ball game, had never actually been to a ball game until after he wrote it.

Continuation . . .

06. The Monorail Ghost
An young man tried to sneak into Disneyland by following the monorail into Disneyland, and when spotted, he laid down on the track. Unfortunately, a train was coming at that time, and more unfortunately, there was not enough space between him and the train for the train to pass over him, so he was killed.

07. Mr. One-way
A man with a heart condition failed to heed the warning about not riding Space Mountain, if one has a heart condition, had a heart attack and died. Now he rides it permanently, but, only one way.

08. The Musical Ghost of the Haunted Mansion
Music is heard when the ride is closed to guests, but, no one is there in the area, from where the music comes.

09. The Pilot on Permanent Vacation
Apparently, a decade before Disneyland was built, there was a plane crash in that area that killed the pilot. Maybe he knew something. His plane is gone, but, he is still there.

10. The Woman in White
Another blast from the past. A ghost wearing all white has been seen in the park, and they know she is not from this time, as she wears out of date clothes.

To be continued . . .

It's a widely repeated fact that the Great Wall of China can be seen from the moon. 

This is false.  This "fact" originated from Ripley's Belive it or Not before space travel was even possible. 

[Svengoolie 3]

Fact of the day: the world is now a slightly better place.

Continuation . . .

11. George
just George

One need not have died at the "Haappiest Place in the U.S." to haunt it. One need only have one's ashes scattered there, which is how we got . . .

12. The Crying Boy
at the Haunted Mansion

13. The Boy at the Pirates of the Caribbean.

and there is one other haunt that has supposedly been seen, and that is . . .

14. Walt Disney
apparently, still keeping an eye on the place, some 64 years after he built it.

Next time: Conclusion

[BoyScoutKevin]

Continuing . . . Conclusion

Going on as to why there may be so many haunts at "The Happiest Place on Earth."

1st. Most of those who are said to haunt the place either died violently or unexpectedly.

2nd. At over 100 acres, there is plenty of room for them to spread out, as can be seen by what part of the park they haunt.
haunted mansion (4) -- space mountain (2) -- america sings (1) -- matterhorn (1) -- monorail (1) -- people mover (1)

3rd. And as this is private property, ghost hunters are not allowed on the property, thus they are safe from being bothered by ghost hunters.

Actually, this may not only be the most haunted place in the U.S. It may be the most haunted place in the world. The only place that I have found, that may have as many identified haunts as this, is the Tower of London (England.) And there the haunts are far older. some of them going back to the 2nd half of the 15th century or some 500 years ere Disneyand was built.

Next time: Tiger? Tiger! Burning bright! What will you have this night?

[Svengoolie 3]

If there really are ghosts and hauntings at sites where people died violently why wouldn't places where mass murders were  committed like death camps,  gulags,  the killing fields,  etc be littered with ghosts?

[BoyScoutKevin]

Tiger? Tiger! Burning bright! What will you eat tonight?

badger -- bear -- bison -- buffalo
crocodile
deer
elephant
fish -- frog
human
leopard
mouse
porcupine
rabbit
rhino
seal -- snake --squirrel
termite -- turtle
wild boar -- wolf

Though, there is one thing tigers will not eat, as they have a long memory, they will not eat Trevor's shorts. They still remember what happened to the first and last tiger to try to eat Trevor's shorts. Which is also why you will not find tigers in the wild in South Africa. After that one incident, they all moved to south Asia.
