Flame spitting Jet-kart - The most MENTAL kart EVER
Trivia fun fact: 'furz' is german for 'fart'.
Now watch that video again. Enjoy.
B-1B Night Takeoff
Well every plane has a takeoff weight restriction... but according to Jimbo's big bag'o'trivia the B1-B was strengthened fairly early in development so it could take off with a full fuel load, and they even managed that change without adding much weight.
The SR-71 on the other hand used to take off with just enough fuel in the tanks to get airborne, and then refuel in the air.
i wonder how much fuel that burned. I think I remember seeing a documentary that after these big birds take off and get to altitude, they almost immediately have to refuel. I wonder if thats because they burn so much fuel on take off or they dont carry that much because they have weight restrictions.
People Use A Bidet For The First Time
Problem with those is they don't break down quick enough and end up clogging sewer systems if used daily. It's why your parents probably told you never to flush kitchen towel down the toilet either, same problem - just doesn't break down quick enough to prevent blockage.
Toilet paper is designed to avoid this problem (except that waxy shiny toilet paper found in public toilets that probably costs 2 quid for a hundred rolls since nobody wants to buy it).
This boring bit of trivia was brought to you by your local water reprocessing plant!
Flushable wipes. Once you try it you'll never go back.
Rise of the Super Drug Tunnels: California's Losing Fight
Shit, plastic explosives; having failed 80's comedy trivia I will now go sit in the corner. Ferrets might do the job but afterwards you'll have an entirely new problem in extracting them from their new underground lair, they take to those like Bond villains.
As for drug solutions, yes, legalization is unthinkable to most of these people and so is not an option in their minds.
Considered and rejected. Besides, Bill prefers plastic explosive (you can't make Mr Squirrel out of TNT)!
Because some are under my house, even the gophenator and similar explosive methods are excluded. I even have to be careful trying gas, or I might gas myself. It's a problem.
On the serious side...there is a way to make it unappealing enough to stop the criminal aspect....legalize and regulate...that removes the insane profit margins and makes dangerous illegal smuggling no longer worth it....but maybe that's not what you meant.
Fighting Racism In Sports For All Races... Well Almost All
Skip the first four sentences, and he actually had a very good point. Research shows that humans have an in-built tendency towards in-group bias... and the trivia from the film is a brilliant example of this.
Understanding that we have such a bias is the only way we can avoid the worst effects of it.
"When the movie Planet of the Apes was being filmed and the actors went off to eat lunch, the gorillas sat with the gorillas, the chimps sat with the chimps, and the orangutans sat with their fellows. It wasn't racism, it was shared experience."
Best. Troll. Ever.
Fighting Racism In Sports For All Races... Well Almost All
They are not eradicating racism. They are only eradicating any personal expression of belief. Banning Donald Sterling from the NBA is right out of 1984.
Racism can only be eradicated by a realization that all people are created of God.
Personally, I will still gravitate toward white people, just as black people gravitate toward black people. It is due to shared experience.

Just as I would rather sit with a black cop than a white firefighter because the cop and I share a common experience.

The Great Escape
Also, a little bit of trivia... Donald Pleasance -- who plays the forger who eventually escapes with Charles Bronson -- actually spent time in a similar POW camp during WWII.
... Interpreter Translates Mandela Memorial Imposter's Signs
In America it's ASL, or American Sign Language. Even from different parts of the states, or within each community they can have lots of variation. (Was with a ASL interpreter for years and oldest daughter was hearing impaired.)
So it's quite possible he's signing a different dialect, so to speak. But the issue is even the South African's were complaining . . .
But yeah, there will be a lot of cross over in signs that have actual meanings, but for the most part, he was signing gibberish.
(Fun trivia, the monkey's from Penguins of Madagascar actually sign real ASL.)
Jimmy Kimmel Live - Five-Year-Old Presidential Expert
I don't knooow Yogi, i think the park ranger's kid is able to read-He's regurgitating trivia he's probably consumed since he became literate, he's simply attached himself to the Presidential train. How about a 3 year-old-promise who by the time he was seven knew more about Vucanology (having devoured every printed page on the subject available via his parent's $$) than a university Junior? His second favorite book was an Oxford English Dictionary on CD ROM, so the kid learned some of the most difficult and obscure words in the lexicon as well as their meanings. There's probably 25 million Chinese children on the planet sharper than this kid, same age. Oh, and we're all trained regurgitates of the same clan my friend-
He's got moxie-Love the way he stands up in that school desk, be nice to see more folks' children utilize theirs similarly.....
Arya Stark recaps last episode(spoilers)
I'm gonna wait til this 3rd season finishes and do a 3-season marathon-By that time the hash should be here
My roomys' been following this series like religion and now that peeps don't have to indulge in the anxiety associated with weekly installments, I don't bother-It's enough anticipatory torture enough for me watching the vegetables and herbs, grow.
Besides that, there are more interesting topics to discuss than entertainment trivia, right??
I still watch Deadwood again and again and again....can't get enough of the all-time best western drama ever rendered for television. Feature westerns have barely come close, MAYBE Leone...(suspension of disbelief goes out the window with his stuff though, once you realize all but a few cowboys are Italian)

A CERTAIN RATIO - Si firmi o grido
Musical Trivia - A Certain Ratio's name is taken from the lyrics of Brian Eno's song "The True Wheel" from the album Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy).
Between Two Ferns and The Lonely Island
Interesting bit of trivia (for me, at least): I know the mother of the girl with the cocaine on her butt. Very weird/uncomfortable seeing her like that.
Kids nowadays...
(I'm glad I just have two boys.)
45 Odd Facts About US Presidents
More trivial than trivia, not even remotely interesting. But I guess the hyper-editing automatically makes anything interesting for some people.
