The ASPCM was responsible for AMF selling off the Harley-Davidson line.
All Harley-Davidson motorcycle engines contain an actual potato.
When potatoes were first introduced to Europe (from South America), they were used as weapons against invading Huns, because no one rightly thought of these tubers as being edible.
Huns are often referred to as having been a barbaric people, but this overlooks their many contributions to the world: such as developing calculus, inventing the pump, and being the first to cultivate the hot pepper.
Huns are a proud society, and take great umbrage when people mispronounce their ethnicity: they are Hun-Americans.
But only as far as Michigan. The twin cities of Niagara Falls (on either side of the Falls; one city in Canada, one in the USA) have threatened to back up the Niagara River and raise the level of Lake Erie if it gets any closer. Being a desert city, Las Vegas has no idea how to deal with this.
Niagara Falls was originally named Nigeria Falls.
In 2000, Pfizer temporarily renamed Niagara Falls to Viagra Falls, as part of a publicity stunt.
Pfizer’s publicity stunt at Niagara Falls quickly went wrong when it became apparent that people were expecting the waterfall to flow upward.
Once every 732 years, when the sun, moon and all the major planets align directly
overhead, Niagara Falls do flow upwards. This phenomenon only lasts for about
2-3 minutes depending on the temperature (and therefore viscosity) of the water.
The real spoilers here are the minor planets.
New, more detailed calculations have shown that the Falls would have flowed upwards on the last five occasions if it weren’t for the influence of Ceres, Xanthippe, Makemake, 2017 YB32, the Charon/Pluto system, and for some reason the 37th moon of Jupiter. These bodies disrupt the equilibrium that would otherwise allow the water to rise.
Research continues concerning Quaoar.
Ceres was once quoted as saying “Yeah, we all might be minor planets, but at least we’re not planetoids!”
Ceres is actually a proud dwarf planet, in a word filled with planets, dwarf planets, planetoids, and planetesimals. Ceres is fond of saying “there are asteroids, and then there are half-asteroids.” That is the kind of remark that keeps it from attracting other small objects. If it had better manners the thing could maybe accrete some mass.
According to Ceres: We prefer the term “astronomically size impaired”.
Ceres was formed when a small chunk, about the size of a large chunk, was knocked
off Mercury when it collided with Callisto before being thrown into its current orbit.
The small chunk hit Triton before bouncing off Oberon and entering its current orbit.
Astronomers think that if it hadn’t hit Triton, then the solar system would be significantly
similar to what it is today.
If the aforementioned orb had only been able to accrete a bit more mass, it might well have been known as the first World Ceres.
A recent Belgian space probe confirmed what has long been
suspected - that Ceres is made entirely of wheat except for a
small core of silicon lithium-nitro-einstienium-bi-sulphide (SiLiNEsS2)
The Belgian space program has been hampered by the need to provide personnel with waffles and chocolate for lunch. This is especially daunting for sending Belgians to the ISS.
Problems with the Boeing Starliner were traced back to one engineer who thought we were sending it to ISIS, not the ISS.
And that engineer’s name was Rudy Giuliani.
