nope, just zombified.

He stopped posting 3 days after I joined, and he was delicio... er... no I don't know what happened to him.  Why do you ask?

There are four cars and eleven light posts on the back of a $10 dollar bill.


It just seems odd to memorialize people who've only posted 80 times.

Re: Useless Trivia VIII

I think Memorializing people who have only posted 80 times is pretty useless.

Last year, I took the deposition of one of the actors in the upcoming movie "Water for Elephants."  I had to work around the shooting schedule and do it on a Saturday.

The full name of Prince William is:  His Royal Highness Prince William Arthur Philip Louis, Duke of Cambridge, Early of Strathearn, Baron Carrickfergus, Royal Knight Companion of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, Master of Arts.

That's a mouthful!

Re: Useless Trivia VIII

The Japanese version of Super Mario Bros. 2 didn't make it to America on the NES.  Instead America got the Japanese game Doki Doki Panic reskinned with Mario characters as Super Mario Bros. 2.  On the American version of the SNES game Super Mario All-Stars America finally got the Japanese Super Mario Bros. 2 with upgraded graphics titled as Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels.

Interestingly enough some abilities and baddies introduced in the American version of Super Mario Bros. 2 carry over into other games.  Birdo, Snifits, and Shy-guys were all introduced in the game and were truly never intended for the Mario universe.  Luigi's high and difficult to control jumps carry over into most of the games and Peach's powers make up the majority of her special moves in the smash bros. series.

Re: Useless Trivia VIII

What is it with us and Japan with video games? I mean, just look at the Final Fantasy series: they sent us FF1 just fine, sure, but then what happened? Did they send us FF2? Nope. Or FF3? Not that one either. Nope, they sent us FF4 and titled it FF2. Okay, I suppose that makes a little bit of sense.

So then you figure they'd send over FF5 and call it 3. Wrong again. They skipped 5 and sent us 6 labelled 3 instead. Did they think we wouldn't notice? I mean really, sure, the internet wasn't as booming a source of new information as it is now, but we still had telephones. And airplanes.

Have you noticed that kids today barely know how to look at a globe, but can text at warp speed?

Re: Useless Trivia VIII

Bugs like cockroaches and silverfish (along with plenty other smaller ones) like to eat the sticky part of the envelope and the glue on the inside of books.

Think of that next time you lick that envelope!
