That middle clicking refresh will open a new tab of your current page in Chrome. Ctrl + click, however, does nothing.

That in addition to his being the only owner of the Maple Leafs to ever really be worth a damn, Conn Smythe was also a military badass of the first order.

The dude who plays Ice King also played The Penguin on The Batman.

That's nothing! The dude who was the villain in Phantom of the Paradise was The Penguin in Batman: The Animated Series.

He's also Spongebob Squarepants and The Mayor from The PowerPuff Girls. Also he was on Mr. Show with Bob and David.

That the German word for "Field kitchen" literally translates as "Goulash Canon".

Portal 2 - unused GLaDOS Garfield speech

This scene cut from Portal 2 was originally written for a set of comics that the Beartato and Reginald guy drew for the game.

Australia has pine cones that will fucking kill you.

So, just like everything else on that continent.

Thanks to the new movie's portrayal of a young Onceler, there are young fangirls calling themselves "Oncesluts"

If you need to expectorate, try eating a fuckload of Souplantation. SOMETHING there will definitely hock your loogie.

That the tennis equivalent of the Harlem Globetrotters is a one-man Persian troll show who actually does his stuff during real professional seniors matches:

I'm sure it'd be hilarious if you could tell what was going on.

Mongrel · « **Reply #2156 on:** March 28, 2012, 08:14:12 AM »

I dunno, I thought most of that video required no real knowledge of tennis to laugh at [joke about tennis being inherently funny, like Badminton or something]. The real problem is the quality of a couple of the clips is poor enough that you can't see what happened.

Joxam · « **Reply #2157 on:** March 28, 2012, 11:36:25 AM »

I don't know, the clip where he put enough back spin on the ball that it bounced away from the guy trying to return it (back at the net) was amazing. The dude is clearly a fuckin' ace athlete underneath it all.

Mongrel · « **Reply #2158 on:** March 28, 2012, 12:08:40 PM »

Apparently he never won a singles title when he was young and in peak physical condition because he spent so much time fooling around and showing off after getting bored that he'd wind up frittering away matches. He's only played doubles for years because that way he has a teammate he can't let down.

I learned about The Battle of Blair Mountain

Unfortunately, this is one of those wiki articles you can't fully trust. Wish there was a confirmed, fully objective summary somewhere. Regardless, if even half the article is true, it's a "great" reminder of the old pre-union days.
