Why, thank you. Was it, by any chance, Justin Bieber? If it was, that wasn't me, that was the Escapist being a dick because I pushed a red button...dls182 said:

Do you play on 360 or PS3? Also, we should be friends, because YDKJ is a fun game.triggrhappy94 said:
OT: The first "Brave Little Toaster" was composed by David Newman. David Newman's Brother? Randy Newman. Randy Newman composed all three Toy Story movies.
The Original script to the movie "8mm" was written by Kevin Andrew Walker, who wrote "Se7en". He had a falling out with the director, Joel Schumacher, who later rewrote the script. Had Schumacher directed Walker's Script of 8mm, the film would have been an NC-17.
The Famous Scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark with the shooting of the swordman was done because Harrison Ford had Montezuma's Revenge and couldn't film a big staged fight scene.
Originally, the movie I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry had a scene where Chuck & Larry, the supposed Gay Couple, was supposed to kiss. The kiss was filmed, but yanked because the movie would have had an "R" rating.
Electric Light Orchestra's 1st album title was an accident from the producer never hearing from anybody, thus the title was called, "No Answer".
Jeff Lynne (of ELO) wrote Eldorado after a bet he made with his father that he could write a song with an actual Orchestral Sound. The Album cover came from Wizard of Oz, but none of the band had ever seen the movie, so it was picked by Sharon Osbourne (Her father was the band's producer).
The ELO song "Shangri-La" refers to the Beatles "Hey Jude" due to its long fade out, reminiscent of a relationship break-up.
Originally, Roy Orbison didn't allow David Lynch to use "In Dreams" in the movie Blue Velvet, but Lynch found a loophole that allowed him to use it.
Daft Punk right?Nouw said:
To make this post longer, I will add that Polar Bears skin is black and they are so adapted to keeping warm that they can actually overheat.
Giraffes are one of the gayest animals
"Male giraffes have been observed to engage in remarkably high frequencies of homosexual behavior. After aggressive "necking", it is common for two male giraffes to caress and court each other, leading up to mounting and climax. Such interactions between males have been found to be more frequent than heterosexual coupling.[65] In one study, up to 94% of observed mounting incidents took place between two males. The proportion of same sex activities varied between 30 and 75%, and at any given time one in twenty males were engaged in non-combative necking behavior with another male. Only 1% of same-sex mounting incidents occurred between females."

That is not entirely true, not all bananas are the same kind of banana, though the ones most people buy in the super market probably are clones.Daverson said:
The Worlds fastest computer is currently the "K" computer, it can do 8 QUADRILLION calculations in a second, and contains 68,544 8-core processors, or 548,352 cores. It runs linux, is still growing and costs over $10 million to run each year, but it still cannot play crysis or even minesweeper, as it has no graphics card.
Technically both and neither of you are correct. But glass is technically a liquid and only remains flat now because of a better process of creation of glass. Glass was never made thicker side down though.pope_of_larry said:

Explains it better than I ever could.
Glass is an amorphous solid. i would go in to more detail but i have been awake for well over 20 hours so i'll just give you this link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass#Behavior_of_antique_glasstk809 said:
George Washington was the only US president in history to, during their term, ride out in full military uniform at the head of an army into anticipated action. This also makes Washington the only truly badass president in history. July 1794 - The Whiskey Rebellion
Continuing the "Irish Car Bomb" trivia, if it's not drank quickly enough it curdles in the glass. Also, most pubs in Ireland will refuse to sell it.WanderingBiscuits said:
Learned this the other day, pickles are only put on a McDonalds burger for tax reasons, to stop it from being legally classed as a dessert. There's a suprising amount of sugar in those things.
Somebody said Brain but to be honest I can't be bothered editing my post to post a more correct fact.triggrhappy94 said:Someone's probably already corrected you, but the cells in nerve endings never duplicate or get replaced, which is what causes permanent paralysis. Bones, however, do take around 7 years to become fully replaced (I believe). Also I'm pretty sure brain cells WILL duplicate and get replaced to a certain pointomega 616 said:
Your a new person every 7 years. The cells in your body die and are replaced the one that takes the longest is seven years.
(At least I think it's 7).
Another useless trivia fact: ^That girl licking her elbow is really cute.
I read that when I was about 10 and it stuck with me and was the first thing that came to mind when asked for a useless fact this time.
I will post one here though, there are far more than 3 states of matter ... there are 19 last time I took a peek.
