The "Did You Know..." thread

[BatMatt]

did you know that Ted Bundy's first dog, a collie, was named Lassie? Haha, have you heard this?

 

[Kritish]

Heres how it works, you just post a random, obscure fact that most people are unaware of. Pretty basic, but who knows, we might learn some cool ****.

I'll start off...

Did you know that Judy Garland (Dorthy from The Wizard of Oz) had AT LEAST three abortions during her life time?

Because she kept getting knocked up by muchkins.

I seen the footage of that on a documentary on HBO years ago. It was nasty looking. Basically the helicopter blades cut right into Morrow and the 2 kids he was carrying. Gruesome.

I'm tempted in tracking that footage down, sounds... terrible

 

[Master Chief]

Yeah, I just found it... holy crap.

 

[Kable24]

Yeah, I just found it... holy crap.

Nasty isn't it?

 

[Master Chief]

Not nasty, just really disturbing.

 

[Kable24]

Did you know that John Landis was charged for murder for that incident?

 

[Master Chief]

Yeah, IMDB is jesus. I'm pretty sure it was his fault though, asking the chopper to go lower with all those explosions

 

[Hudson]

I'm too chicken to watch it, Do I see Vic getting chopped to bits?

 

[Master Chief]

You don't really see him get chopped at all. The helicopter comes down, and it looks like they're crushed but really the blades hit them when it was on the way down. If you were to blink you'd miss it.

Yeah I just saw it, lots of explosions and such, but it's really freaky to think about... two kids and an actor...

I saw it. I don't know why you're describing it as gruesome, it was mostly just tragic to watch.

 

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

Did you know I've been listening to the radio for hours trying to win some Heat tickets? I'm sick of the radio already.

 

[Honey Vibe]

Did you know George Washington wore false teeth?

 

[D.Rex]

Did you know that.

Bull sharks can also be found in fresh water that connects with salt water and have been caught in the Mississippi River as far upstream as Illinois.

Maine is the only state name that has just one syllable.

Los Angeles's full name is "El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reina de los Angeles de Porciuncula" and can be abbreviated to 3.63% of its size, "L.A."

The volume of the Earth's moon is the same as the volume of the Pacific Ocean

Did you know...
...Police can tell if you are lying in an interrogation room, by the motion of your eyes. First they ask you simple questions that are FACTS YOU RECALL (what is your address? how long have you lived there?) and see to which side your eyes go. Then they ask FANTASTIC QUESTIONS (do you think the person who did this crime is a good person or bad person? what makes you think that?), and establish that as your "fantastic side".

So when they ask about the details of the crime (where were you when this crime was committed?), if, logically, you should have recalled the answer from your factual side, but your eyes dart to the fantastic side before you reply, they know you are not pulling your answer from facts but from fantasy. Hence, they know you are lying.

 

[Symbiote Hulk]

Did you know George Washington wore false teeth?

Yes, he wore wooden teeth right?

Did you know that Tyranosaurus-rex wasn't the biggest land meat eater of all time?

 

[Abaddon]

I just read the description at findadeath.com Thats enough for me.

Whenever I get interrogated, I'll close my eyes.

The longest prison sentence ever handed down in years is 10,000. For a triple homicide. Almos makes the death sentence almost seem more humane.

So supposing the guy lived that long. You think they'd let him out?

 

[Symbiote Hulk]

They'd have no choice.

They would have to.
