    And a black John Cena. I'm confused. Then again, I'm easily confused.

    Due to a variety of historical and practical reasons, there are two different standards for quarter pound butter sticks: the "western stubbie" in the west (shorter and fatter), and the "elgin" in the east (longer and thinner).

    Bruce Willis's first name is actually Walter.

    Celebrity Deathmatch had him and Ashton Kutcher fight. Willis calls him out for using his middle name. Ashton responds with "Something you wouldn't know anything about would you WALTER?"

    Looked it up and his name is indeed Walter.

    The Transformers acronym PotP for the Transformers sub line is "Power of the Primes" & NOT "Puppetry of the Pen*s".

    Octopuses can unscrew lids and open latches. They are also able to taste what they touch via the suction cups on their arms.

    TIL that after the 8th of September, Malaysians who really are into V-tubers can finally give Super-chat donations at Youtube (Depending on the platform, you can donate from MYR 1.50 all the way to MYR 1500) to their favorite V-tubers from PC and Android.

    So I was reading about Vivaldi, apparently in his time it was considered rude to applaud in church. For some odd reason they thought it less rude to either cough or blow one's nose loudly:confused:

    TIL that Ireland polices once hunted for an individual called "Prawo Jazdy", a reckless driver who committed over 50 traffic offenses over 2 years. For some reason, this "Prawo Jazdy" was never caught as allegedly he/she was a master of disguise who spotted different appearances, driver's license, address, and birth date every time he/she committed a traffic offense.

    Eventually, it had gotten so ridiculous that a special task force was needed to catch this international mastermind... only for one of the officers in the task force who was fluent in the Polish language to points out that "Prawo Jazdy" is Polish for "Driver's License"; The mistake was caused by the confusing driving license format in the European Nation countries of that time, and was finally discovered in 2009.

    I thought Yummy Mummy was older than 88. I guess that's why I remember the commercials well during that time period.

    Yummy in my tummy. heh, heh-heh.

    William Moulton Marston created the lie detector. He also created Wonder Woman explains the lasso of truth.

    I knew that one, he was also into S&M and lived with both his wife and a mistress who used to be one of his students. (One of the reasons Wonder Woman used to get chained or tied up so much in his comics) They were into that thing in their home life.

    I used to eat them but after a dream I had with one in the spring I've grown to respect them and will never eat another one again.
