Oh Canada

BSR says...

Fun fact: Ducks were originally called Dicks up until movable type was introduced. A typo was made in printing the dictionary that year and the mistake wasn't discovered until years later. It was never corrected but was accepted to avoid embarrassing the printer.

Super Dave Osborne's First Stunt

sanderbos says...

I loved that show, it was so weird.

Fun fact about Bob Einstein: His brother is Albert Einstein, but you probably know that brother under another (stage-)name.

Uber Air-Closer Than You Think

Sagemind says...

I don't trust Uber Drivers to be properly insured - I can't see myself Flying Uber.

So fun fact, you all know Uber is owned by Jeff Bezos

You may know him as the owner of Amazon.
Well he owns Uber and he also owns Twitter, The Washington Post, Linden Labs (AKA Second Life), and more tech companies than I can list.

As of March 14, 2018, he has an estimated net worth of $130.5 billion.

He is creator of the Amazon Echo which is designed to sit in your home and monitor your every word. It databases everything you say in exchange for on-demand music and news, similar to Siri on your iPhone.

"Bezos recently disclosed that the company’s Web-services business is building a “private cloud” for the CIA to use for its data needs." For $6 Billion, he will be supplying the data for use by the CIA.


Just some information for everyone to play around with in their heads

Stalked by a Cougar

Payback says...

Fun Fact: This cougar is still hunting rabbits and deer for no other reason than he's 170 miles into an area where people tranquilize and truck him away from populated areas instead of bumpstocking 30 rounds of 5.56×45mm NATO through his falling corpse.



...not that there's anything wrong with that.

If High School and College Textbooks Were Honest

spawnflagger says...

I remember having to buy new edition Calculus book ($100+) because they switched the texts between calc 2 and calc 3. Wasn't this shit invented 400 years ago? Did I really need a new book with slightly different questions? apparently so.
Meanwhile the author (Stewart) lives in a multi-million dollar ocean-front mansion on the west coast.

Fun fact: the Indian government regulates textbook costs, and even though the editions sold there are paperback only and lower-quality print, they are <1/10th the cost of western-published books with identical content. (It's illegal to export them out of India though.) Isn't it nice when a democracy works for the people rather than for corporations?

Star Trek: The Next Generation's scary scenes.

ChaosEngine says...

Fun facts:
1: That thing gave me nightmares when I first saw it as a kid.
2: those special effects have NOT aged well.
3: they quietly dropped the parasite storyline. It was apparently going to be the big bad in later episodes, but they were later reworked as the Borg.

Insane woman assaults legal e-bike rider on public path

I'm compelled to ask if what you write comes from legal experience and study.

So many "Law and Order" TV show law grads on the Internet, it would be nice to read a learned opinion now and then.

Especially when you follow "Fun FACT" (my emphasis) with what looks to be hyperbole.

"He could have legally killed that woman."

Fun fact: Did you know that there's no country in the world other than America where anybody would think to make that observation?

....in states without a "make my day" law, ordinary people in public spaces have a duty to retreat, if possible, instead of using deadly force.

In no jurisdiction that I know of is the threat of missing a doctor's appointment justification for killing someone, not matter how ignorant.

Curt Smith of Tears for Fears and Ted Yoder

ulysses1904 says...

Fun fact about this song and my hero Joe Strummer, from Songfacts.com -

Singer Joe Strummer told an interesting story to Musician magazine in 1988 about how he proved that popular 1980s group Tears for Fears stole a line from "Charlie Don't Surf" for the title of their hit "Everybody Wants To Rule The World." He was apparently in a restaurant and saw Roland Orzabal, lead songwriter for Tears for Fears, and told him that "you owe me a fiver," explaining that the name of their hit song was an exact lift of the first line of the middle eight in "Charlie Don't Surf." According to Strummer, Orzabal simply reached into his pocket and gave him a five pound note, effectively admitting that this had been the case.

(for the record it was from the first verse, not the middle eight as there is no middle eight in "Charlie Don't Surf")

Remember this voice from Spongebob?

Brian Eno - Baby's on Fire (+boobs)

ulysses1904 says...

Big fan of Eno. Fun Fact - I sing along with "Backwater" as a diction exercise on the way to work when I know I have to give a presentation that day.
