It comes in a variety of flavors, none of which are particularly amazing but every time I've seen a can come out, women start losing their clothing due to outright insanity.

I thought women just randomly lost their clothing while in proximity to you anyway?

Right, we need a control group for observation here.

(And alcoholic whipped cream isn't especially bizarre, although this is the first I've seen it packaged and sold specifically to garnish cocktails. I made Kahlua whipped cream to go with an espresso-glazed angelfood cake in one of my pastry classes.)

That Jaimee Foxworth, who played the little girl on Family Matters, went on to star in porn.

I also learned that Google Image searching Jaimee Foxworth is one of the creepiest, most shame-inducing things you can do to yourself.

Damn it. I can't picture who she is so of course my first thought is to google image search.

That Boney M was actually an entirely "false front", where the players on stage were performers with little to no vocal talent, hired purely to lip synch prerecorded tunes. And that the real lead singer and songwriter of the band was a German white dude.

BONEY M - DADDY COOL

(important note: The lip synch thing wasn't actually secret in the 70's. The group was always honest that the people on stage were just performers.)

Not like those posers in Milli Vanilli.

Frank Farian was actually responsible for Milli Vanilli too!

In Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Willie Wonka mentions licking snozberries. What most people don't know is that in one of Dahl's adult books, snozberry is a euphamism for penis. He was slipping dirty humor into a kid's book for his private amusement.
"...The snozberries taste like snozberries..." "What's a snozberry?" "I'm a trifle deaf in my left ear, next time speak up!"

That when you crack your knuckles or really any other joint you are in fact expelling gas from your joints.

Mothra · « **Reply #2115 on:** February 16, 2012, 02:39:27 PM »

So when you crack your knuckles threateningly before a brooklyn beatdown, you're actually squeezing out knuckle farts?

Mothra · « **Reply #2116 on:** February 16, 2012, 02:50:41 PM »

This seems somehow less threatening.

Hands up if you cracked your knuckles after you read this. Also:

Quote from: Wikipedia

The common advice that "cracking your knuckles gives you arthritis" is not supported by any evidence. A recent study examined the hand radiographs of 215 people (aged 50 to 89) and compared the joints of those who regularly cracked their knuckles to those who did not. The study concluded that knuckle-cracking did not cause hand osteoarthritis, no matter how many years or how often a person cracked their knuckles.

Medical doctor Donald Unger regularly cracked the knuckles of his left hand for more than sixty years while not manipulating those of his right. No arthritis or other ailments formed in either hand, and he was awarded 2009's Ig Nobel Prize in Medicine.

So I shouldn't be concerned with the constant popping of my joints? Yaaaay!
