The original Supremes were a group of singing white supremacists. They had some minor hits among sympathetic groups, including: _Stop! Or I’ll Shoot Your Ass!_ _You Can’t Hurry Hate When The Torchlight Starts Shining In His Eyes Standing At the Burning Cross Roads of Love You Keep Me Hanging On_ The group later sued the female group, Phil Spector, and Mo-Town Records for plagiarizing their music, but the suit was dismissed amid raucous laughter in the courtroom. ---

The most coveted stamp in the world is the “stamp” the then postmaster general had tattooed on Ben Dover, his gay lover’s, ass depicting John Glenn’s rocket as a giant penis.

When Mandy Patinkin and his wife, Kathryn Grody, were attempting, unsuccessfully, to create the baby that would become their son, Gideon, numerous visits to the fertility clinic were having no effect. The last visit was especially stressful, and at the conclusion, Grody wailed, “What’s wrong with us, Mandy?” Patinkin shot back, “You’re inconceivable!” and was promptly whacked in the back of the head with a sock full of quarters by Wallace Shawn, who came out of nowhere and vanished just as mysteriously. ---

Lincoln’s father was a carpenter. Kennedy’s carpenter was a father. The Carpenters’s carpenter was a Lincoln. Kennedy’s father drove a Lincoln. Lincoln drove a Kennedy buckboard. The Buckboards performed with The Carpenters. Kennedy fathered a carpenter, but not a Carpenter. Karen Carpenter never met Lincoln. Or Kennedy. Or Richard’s father, Buck Board. ---

The Men’s Whorehouse’s BIG corporate makeover in 1980 came as a result of slogan being "7-11 where a client’s satisfaction is guaranteed. The 7-eleven chain successfully sued them, claiming that “7-11” was too close to their “7-eleven,” which they had trademarked. ---

In the English language, seven and eleven are the only two positive numbers that rhyme until you get to a million. Seventeen different numbers rhyme with million including billion, trillion, quintillion, oxwillian, and repsopillion. The rhyming stops at a zillion, by Zerbok’s Distribution Law. Interestingly enough, a 1 with 53 zeroes is called a “queven” —which rhymes with the early two examples though this is coincidental as the latter number was named after Chris Queven, who discovered it in 1876. A few more negative numbers rhyme, as do most irrational numbers. By universal agreement, all numbers in dark mathematics have a rhyming differential no matter the tongue.
