The first direct-to-videocassette movie was "Blood Cult" and it was filmed in and around Tulsa, Oklahoma. It's also terrible.

And females have orgasms that last for 30 minutes as well.

Also their penises are meant to fall off at the end of the breeding season.

I'm going to assume both of you are zoologists and that's how you know this. I will reject any explanation for this knowledge.
 
Just some random-as-fuck facts I know!

Spider blood is clear

Aslan is Turkish for Lion

Only two species in the world have learned to domesticate other species: Humans and ants.

WW1 is considered the costliest war in all of humanities history, no war before or since has come close to topping the staggering loss of life incurred during all of WW1.

From 1912 to 1948 painting was an olympic event.

Termites fart so much that their farts actually attribute to global warming.

Your heart stops for a moment when you sneeze.

The name Bella Donna for the plant Deadly Nightshade means Beautiful Woman because in Italy during the renaissance women would drip the sap into their eyes to make them appear bigger and hence more beautiful.

There is a planet that rains glass sideways.

Sloths are faster in water than on land.

Tigers stripes are not only on their fur but on their skin as well.

A horse cannot carry more than 10% of its body weight.

There is a planet 4,000 light years away made completely out of diamond.

There that's some random shit you know now.

Oh, I remembered some more!

Milk or any form of dairy will actually help you if you eat something spicy, unlike water which will make it worse.

More people have been to the surface of the moon than to the bottom of our oceans.

We have explored less than 10% of our worlds oceans.

Pineapple actually eats you back it's so acidic. That's why your tongue feels like sandpaper after a while.

If you are in total darkness for more than three days you will become permanently blind.

Sleeping on your stomach can induce weirder, scarier, and sexier dreams.

This one really stuck out to me so I had to look it up. After a google search it seems that this is a myth. Around 5 days can supposedly cause perma blindness in young children (ages 0-3) but would only cause temp blindness in adults. I imagine being reintoduced to bright light immediately could cause a significant amount of damage though.

Isn't this because miIk is a base and that helps with getting rid of acidic tastes?

It's actually because the fat in milk acts as a coating to protect from spice, it's why it only temporarily soothes the burn. Milk is actually mildly acidic (almost neutral but gets more acidic the warmer it is), which is no surprise since lactate contains lactic acid.

Couple facts about movie ratings

Beavis and Butthead Do America initially received an R rating from the MPAA due to one scene. When principal MCvicker is getting spanked by a prostitute it originally showed his bare ass. The MPAA agreed to lower the rating to PG-13 if they covered vthe male rear nudity.

South Park: bigger longer and uncut had to be submitted several times to get an R rating and most of the changes where intentionally made to be even worse than the stuff that originally came back NC-17

Showgirls is the highest grossing NC-17 movie to get a wide release and at at theaters showing it special security staff partly hired by MGM would perform "ID checks" on audience members who appeared underage

I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry would have been rated R if any actual on screen Homosexual kissing (male or female) was shown desipite a partial scene of a black gay man's ass

Fun fact about Beavis and Butthead Do America, there was a scene that was only in the original broadcast of Beavis going to get the Declaration of Independence to use as toilet paper. It has not appeared since in any form, such as subsequent broadcasts or uncut DVDs.

You're referring to the kangaroo hunting scene aren't you? The hunters in that scene got so drunk and rowdy killing the kangaroos that the film crew had to orchestrate a power failure just to stop filming.

Is that movie any good BTW?
 
A saudi prince is a huge fan of dota, and is a massive weeb. and his favorite game is sonic generations.

EEMo1nBXkAA40fj


He has spent a good amount of money on dota as well
Now he has spent $175,000 IF and only IF it costs $1 each level, which i'm 90% sure it costs much more than that.

Had Voyager I not flew by Saturn's moon titan it would have been able to achieve a Pluto flyby as early as spring 1986

this was not achieved until almost 29 years later when new horizons reached Pluto after a 9 year journey

http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/What_If_Voyager_Had_Explored_Pluto_999.html

i always like to imagine what Pluto would look like under voyagers eyes but we should be thankful that this didint happen as New Horizons would have probably never got funding to explore Pluto and beyond in much greater detail

In the Traveller TTRPG, there's a race of cat-like aliens that were labled "Aslan" by the human explorers who discovered them. They're basically furry Klingons. The game does note that the word was taken from CS Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia where Aslan was the name of the lion character that was the representation of Christ.

They're probably based on Kzinti from Larry Niven's Known Space works.
