Odd Things You've Learned Recently

Except apples aren’t seedless. You can grow trees from apple seeds, but the offspring apples may be quite different from the parent’s.

Edit: you didn’t really say apples are seedless - sorry - tired.

Do not, either.

although you’re right on the other points; it was a classical reference, son. Try to catch some of these…

Even worse, a classic DISNEY reference. sigh What is the world coming to?

They’re also edible.

I didn’t know White Castle was a real fast food place.

I laughed so hard at this I hurt my sides.
mmm

I bought a big lizard
Only a dollar fifty
Well, that’s pretty neat
Yeah it’s fuckin’ nifty
But I just can’t afford to feed it
And you should see the way it shits

It’s basically a Commodore 64 in space! Er, let me correct the pronunciation …

a Commodore 64 in SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!!!

I hope those two facts are unrelated.

I was startled to discover the existence (theoretical, so far) of hypervelocity planets. If one of those babies came through our solar system it would probably wreck it before we could do so much as issue a speeding ticket.

So, never been to White Castle, I see…

I learned there is a 40 character maximumon the name of a Yahoo group.

You lose toe hair if you have heart disease?

Well, no. The head is quite long enough in my case without having to worry about the shaft. :cool:

On a slightly more serious note, though, apparently I need to either examine the shaft of my own penis very carefully or (this is a much better idea) get someone else to examine it and report back. I’m certainly not going to Google “penis shaft hair” at work, sadly.

I hate to break this to you, granddad, but classical references eventually die. That’s what happens when your generation shuffles off this mortal coil and makes way for new, fresh ideas!

A better place? Disney is responsible for the sick and twisted murder of many “classic” children’s stories. Alice in Wonderland, The Jungle Book, Winnie The Pooh - all brutally ripped from their foundations and mangled beyond recognition.

Also: see note above re: grandpa, and let me introduce you to a new and shiny idea, that not everyone in the world shares your cultural references. I know this is a difficult one to assimilate, but do try. You’ll feel better afterwards, honest!

No, I can’t believe a company would let their name be used in that type of movie. (I don’t mind the movie, just I didn’t think a company would want to be associated with it)

I grant you it’s not exactly Citizen Kane, but White Castle has always been a little under the radar and able to have a laugh at it’s own expense. I can’t imagine “Harold & Kumar go to the Arches” would have been the same movie…

BTW, Elephants can’t jump.

That’s what they want you to think!

And it introduced the idea: Getting the muchies? Head for White Castle.

Just look out for elephants…jumping, flying, paisley or pink…

Yeah Ok. I’m from Jersey. That idea was introduced decades ago. In fact I don’t know how anyone can eat there when they aren’t under the influence.

BTW there was never a White Castle in New Brunswick. But there is no reason for them to go all the way to Cherry Hill. There is one in South Plainfield and one in Green Brook. And there is no cliff in Cherry Hill.

But everything else in the movie was 100% accurate.

Neither did I! I thought the Beastie Boys had made it up!

From another thread, The Kurgan is the voice of Mr. Krabs. Now I can’t stop hearing in my head:

“Hi. I’m Candy.”

“Of course you are. Aaah-gagagagagaah!”
