Kim Chee was a legendary Korean hero known for his bad breath. Their national dish is name in his honor.
In the ancient Korean saga Warror Monk’s Quest for Soysauce Kim Chee honored his ancient master’s last request by going on a search for the perfect soy sauce recipe. He defeats 120,000 Mongol warriors in combat, forces the Chinese Emperor to give him his cloak, and finally obtains the recipe by winning a Zen riddle contest with a magic talking squid.
Famed undersea explorer Jacques Cousteau once witnessed Humboldt squid off the coast of Baja California “helicoptering” themselves out of the sea by spinning their tentacles around. He even caught it on film but was unable to show it to the world because one of the squids totally smashed the camera.
Jacques Cousteau was born in Croatia.
Jacques Cousteau died of massive blood loss due to injuries sustained from forgetfully taking his cat down in the submersible.
It’s impossible to say the word submersible sixteen times in a row without eventually saying subersable.
“Supersable” was a cartoon charater created in the mid-60’s to capitalize on the success of Mighty Mouse, Underdog, and Rocky & Bullwinkle. The series was cancelled mid-season after a highly controversial episode in which Supersable snorted six lines of cocaine and dropped acid with Felix the Cat. Videotape copies of this rare series continue to fetch extremely high prices on eBay and Craigslist.
Supersable was the obvious inspiration for Ralph Bakshi’s The New Adventures of Mighty Mouse, and probably the inspiration for his character Bat-Bat. Today Ralph Bakshi travels the world by train as a hobo.
Ralph Bakshi owns the only surviving copy of Superbowl I. He refuses to allow anyone to view it, however.
^ And that is because, like his movies, most of it has been traced from live footage, and maybe not Superbowl footage, either.
Kermit the Frog has no live footage.
No Live Footage won the 1951 Belmont Stakes, just beating out the favorite Twerky by a nose and Quacking Echo by an ear.
If you watch footage of the 1963 Belmont Stakes, you can see the flags are at half-mast in recognition of the then-recent assassination of John F. Kennedy.
I once had a box of Belmont Steaks delivered, frozen, to the house; I always wondered what type of meat they were.
Had a Box won the 1947 Melbourne Cup, beating Rogeroo by a tail and Grandma’s Spasm by a mane and a half.
My grandma once had a spasm cause her underoos were too tight.
Queen Victoria’s husband, Prince Albert, had the longest recorded nonlethal spasm in history: it lasted 11 years, 6 months and 12 days. He had just begun to recover from it when he met Vic.
Prince Albert wasn’t buried in a coffin, but in a large aluminum can.

Prince Albert has 10 genital piercings, one for each of his children. Yep, that 10th one is for his bastard son.
