I saw a sign online that said “Due to the summer weather, we will no longer accept currency pulled out of bras”
The secret is 2 layers of duct tape.
And wasn’t his character in The Office someone who had assumed the identity of Creed Bratton from Grass Roots?
They left it kind of ambiguous
Interesting meta-fact:
This is the only thread in the SDMB which is by definition impossible to hijack.
Paradoxical interesting meta-fact:
Which I hereby am officially attempting. Waiting for your refutals. Wonder whether the mods will slap my wrist for this.
Only if you tell uninteresting facts…(not directed at you and your post 
)
Interestingness is in the brain of the reader. Or gets there eventually.
Wouldn’t a great debate that isn’t primarily about facts but their interpretation that monopolized the thread so that no other interesting random facts got posted be a hijack?
I don’t think that can be achieved, but you could try to drown them in noise.
When fish fingers were first made, they were nearly launched as “battered cod pieces”.
Every now and then someone in the world of fashion tries to re-introduce it, and it promptly gets laughed off the runway.
I saw a production of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night once (it has a lot of lines about women disguising themselves as men and wearing codpieces) that had period-appropriate costumes, complete with (rather small) codpieces. It looked weird. I suspect they kept them small in the production because otherwise they’d look ridiculous to modern eyes.
I remember thinking about that when I saw the “Frozen Cod Chunks” at the grocery store. The company must have been hitting the thesaurus heavily to think of a good name.
And failed.
TIL: that among the Holocaust deniers, the term “Fauxlocaust” is commonplace. Disgusting, to be sure, and yet it set me afire.
“D’hohlocaust” targeted, systematic elimination of Homer Simpson.
“Brolocaust” “first they came for the young men in white ball caps and cargo shorts, and I said nothing…”
“Miracle-Growlocaust” must we treat the weeds so harshly?
“Coca-Colocaust” this place only has Pepsi
Prolecaust: kill the workers
Volvocaust: kill the liberal middle class
Polocaust: kill the millionaire do-nothings
There is a deleted scene where he meets the reporter who wrote the obituary for Creed Bratton of Grass Roots (he doesn’t say The Grass Roots, if it matters). Creed explains, “About ten years ago for tax reasons, I faked his own death. I’ve been collecting benefits as my own widow ever since.”
Two types of crocodiles have been recorded using lures to get yummy birds within reach.
“Here, birdie, birdie, birdie…”
Now I’m imagining the Road Runner zooming up to a practically comatose alligator with a stick in its mouth and going “Meep,Meep!”, then holding up a sign that says “Roadrunners don’t collect sticks!” before racing off.
That prompted me to look it up. According to
Male Greater Roadrunners bring twigs to the female, which she fashions into a compact platform with a nest cup about 4 inches deep. A male that pauses for too long in his stick-gathering may get reminded with a whining call from his partner, prompting him to get back to work. The finished nest can reach over 17 inches in diameter and 8 inches high, lined with leaves, grasses, feathers, smaller sticks, snakeskin, and flakes of cattle and horse manure.
Hey, I didn’t know either!
That’s cool, but have you seen the snake with a tail shaped like a spider?
This is an official election ballot in Perú …
Parties are represented by ICONS - the photos of candidates are there as well … most likely due to the historically (?) high illiterate numbers in rural (and non-rural) areas.
