Most streets in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia have no name. (So I guess that’s where Bono wants to go.)






If your riding a horse with no name, you should be just fine.
And it would feel good to get out of the rain.

Jack Nicholson was fed only cheese sandwiches on The Shining which he hated to get him into the right mood.

NASA shows the film Armageddon during their management training program. New managers are given the task of trying to spot as many errors as possible. At least one hundred sixty-eight have been found.

The Makeup budget for the movie Dallas Buyers Club was only $250.  It was THAT low budget.  The movie won an Oscar for Makeup and Hairstyling. 

The bees were bred specifically for the movie Candyman. They needed to make sure that the bees were only twelve hours old, so that they looked like mature bees, but their stinger wouldn't be powerful enough to do any real damage.

The 1904 Olympic Marathon was such a fiasco that it almost abolished the competition for good. 

Just to give you an idea how bad it was, one of the competitors was given strychnine, egg whites and brandy during the course of the marathon.  By the end of it, he had lost 8 pounds, was hallucinating, could barely move his legs, and had to be carried over the finish line.  ... and this is the guy that won. 

Another runner stopped to have some apples, which turned out to be rotten, and afterwards took a nap.   And HE came in 4th place.

One of the two black South Americans who ran (both of which who ran without shoes), finiished 9th place after he was chased a mile off course by wild dogs. 

Only 14 of the 32 racers who entered finished at all.

Vladimir Putin is 5' 7" tall, wears a size nine shoe, and he wants to invade Ukraine.

No chance whatsoever he's compensating for anything, right?

I think at this point he has gone undefeated longer in martial arts than Chuck Norris hasn't he (at least according to his PR machine)? I wonder if Russia has Vlad facts along the lines of Chuck Norris facts?

As hard as it is for us to comprehend, at one time the British did not distinguish between lemons and limes. They thought they were essentially the same, like red and green apples, and used the words "lemon" and "lime" interchangeably. This caused the British navy problems when they switched out lemons (which have high levels of Vitamin C and prevent scurvy) for cheaper limes (which don't have much Vitamin C), and sailors suddenly began coming down with scurvy again. No one could figure our why, since the sailors were still getting their daily ration of "lemons."

Cincinnati's international airport is not in Cincinnati, not in Ohio, not even in the Midwest.

It also freaked out Rainman.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
