Little known facts.

1 This actually applied only to Epcot(Experimental Prototype City Of Tommorow IIRC).

2 Being a fact, it has no damn business in this thread

I suspect that your grossly innapropriate post contains other facts as well.

You do not exist. You are all super advanced Active-Buddys™ with the ability to post on message boards. This message board is one huge turing machine. I have been duped.

It’s rarely spoken of by those in the know, but leprechauns really do exist, and they’re pretty cool to hang out with, once you get to know them. Keep them away from schnapps, though. Fair warning.

This is one of the things we SOE’s introduced into quantum mechanics. Belief defines reality. Now that so few believe the leprechauns, pixies, and other creatures of legend are dying. You don’t have to clap, or say anything out loud. But each time a human decides that they don’t believe in fairies, the probability of their existence moves closer to zero.

The Loch Ness monster, despite many hoaxes, did exist. Then, several bastards set about proving scientifically that it did not. The probability of Nessie’s existence is still non-zero. But, so is the probability of all the molecules in your body being spontaneously transmitted to mars.

H.P. Lovecraft is from Mars, Alfred Hitchcock is from Venus, and Paul Newman is from Nova Scotia.

Congress owes Bill Clinton an apology: a quick check of Webster’s Super-Duper Unabridged Dictionary reveals that “is” has 137 definitions, some of which contradict each other. It was a perfectly legitimate question.

The current trouble with Iraq started when DNA tests proved conclusively that George W. Bush is Saddam Hussein’s son. Dubya wants Saddam dead so he can pretend that he is really George Sr’s kid.

I didn’t know Stalin spoke English!!

Muad’Dib - I also like plif.com.

There is, in fact, a third word that ends in -gry. The word, oddly enough, is simply gry (pronounced “gree”). The word is so rarely used that even unabridged dictionaries do not list it. Ironically, a gry (a noun) is defined as “any word that does not exist.”

A cure for the common cold was found in 1947 by Harvey Corman while working at Tasty Freeze in LA. The CIA, which invented the common cold, adjusted his memory, stole his cure, forced him into show business, and used the cure to clone a severely depressed Armenian cab driver in the DC area. The clones ended up being the band The Cure. Strange but true.

Despite being ambidextrous, Jesus Christ preferred the use of his left hand.

Was that one about Red Dye #5 true? That sounds like something the Feds might do.

At least three of the nine Supreme Court justices have confessed to going nude underneath those robes.

And the other 6 prefer lace panties.

I know why, but if I told you I would have to kill you.

Every military base is sited over an outcropping of gold. As proof of this, I offer these true facts:
Every ship in the Navy has a gold coin under it’s mast, likewise the flagpoles at land bases.
If you need gold to build something (like an airplane) for the military, you get the gold for free, or pay just a nominal handling charge, but must reduce your contract cost by the retail value of the gold.

The Road Runner and Speedy Gonzalez were on amphetamines.

There is a house in New Orleans they call The Rising Sun and it’s been the ruin of every young boy.

Anna Nicole Smith is a misunderstood genius.

That wasn’t Albert Einstein’s real hair.

There are no CGI characters. They’re all real. It’s all a ploy to gradually ease humans into accepting non-human life forms.

Contrary to prevailing wisdom, you will not die if sneeze, burp and fart simultaneously. In fact, you will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

serious: While GWB is the 43rd President, he is in fact only the 42nd man to hold the job. Grover is counted twice since his terms were non successive.
