Ah, that’s one little bit of gaming history that always makes me sad. Sure the execution was kinda shit but it was such an awesome idea for a gaming company to come up with. Even way back then they were already toying with the idea of taking something from the video games they made and bringing them into the real world. Very unfortunate that the final half of the series was pretty much DOA, I bet winning something like that would’ve totally made somebody’s childhood. And to be honest, I know it’s hella overplayed but I’m a sucker for elemental motifs.

In China, it is common for drivers to run over people several times with their cars after accidentally hitting them. This is apparently because injuring someone with your vehicle can lead to years of having to pay for that person's medical bills. Simply finishing the job is more economic.

Why drivers in China intentionally kill the pedestrians they hit: Chi…

That would have been more consistent, albeit less amusing to generations of schoolchildren.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is one of the few "Christmas movies" to never actually have Christmas Day in it; the film ends on Christmas Eve.

Speaking of the Chinese, we had an exchange student from there my sophomore year and he told me that either 1/4, 1/2, or 1/3 (I'm fuzzy) of his generation and the generation 1 up from his will not be able to find wives, because of the one child policy and China's infanticide of girls.
China is not the middle east, but they still generally prefer boys to girls.
This is also the reason why when a western couple adopts from China (cause adoption in the US it hot garbage) they bring a girl back 99% of the time.

The megaraptors are perhaps the most controversial group of all dinosaurs. They seem to be considered either tyrannosaurs or allosaurs.
Guliacho may appear as a T-Rex, but it was actually a Neovenator.

I wonder if the book/movie ready player one was partly inspired by that contest, the movie flat out name drops the swordquest games and the contest at one point.
The costume Edward sisscorhands wore was made using old strips of leather from Tim Burton's couch and electrical tape. The role of Edward was almost given to Michael Jackson.

German General Erwin Rommel never had a chance to meet US General Patton. Erwin Rommel was assassinated by Adolf Hitler, and Patton was (according to some) assassinated by US leadership.
Both generals seemed to be at war with their command as much as their enemies. Rommel wanted to surrender the war after the disaster of D-Day so that German lives would be saved. Hitler, after nearly being assassinated, considered this treason and had him executed. Before being killed, his executioners let him say goodbye to his family. They agreed to not send his family to a concentration camp so long as he ended his own life willingly.

In toy story 2 the prospector's quote and backstory about "spending a lifetime sitting on a dime store shelf, watching every other toy be sold." May have been loosely based on the real life failure of Disney's hunchback of Notre Dame toys. Where by January of 1997, even after the holiday season. Entire clearance racks were still full of unsold dolls of Quasimodo and Frollo.

In 1982, movie producers Ivan Reitman, Joe Medjuk, and screenwriter Harold Ramis worked together on a movie adaption of Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, with Bill Murray as Arthur Dent and Dan Ackroyd as Ford Prefect. The project fell through, so Ackroyd pitched the team his idea for a movie about a team of ghost catching scientists called Ghost Smashers, which of course became Ghostbusters.

Slimer is basically the ghost of John Belushi, who was originally meant to have a big role in Ghostbusters but his death sadly meant we never got to see bluto as a Ghostbuster
