Incidentally this very episode was reported as a "successful" surgery on Wikipedo before even they became embarrassed by such a ludicrously stupid statement. The transgender person was Lili Elbe and Eddie Redmayne played her in the award-winning The Danish Girl.
 
Jasper Newton "Jack" Daniels of Jack Daniels Tennessee whiskey fame, died from an infection and sepsis blood poisoning that started in his left big toe and cost him his left leg but ultimately killed him on October 9th, 1911. The Jack Daniels company alleges the infection started in his big toe after he grew frustrated with a safe he couldn't open and kicked it so hard it broke his foot.
 
In the mid 2000s, a group of animators from Disney quit their job to make a video game very similar to Dragon's Lair. It was called "The Act" and it was an arcade game.

Despite playtesting well, no distributor wanted to pick it up, and the company that made it went bankrupt. Only 3 or so machines survive to this day.
Interestingly enough, the game saw new life as an iOS app in 2013, but taken off the app store without warning in 2015.

The only way you can play it these days is to buy an old iOS device, jailbreak it, and install it via third party.
 
Joan of Arc was a very controversial figure, but a very funny and interesting one. But probably the most interesting thing about her is that during the Siege of Paris she broke her sword by bashing it over the head of local prostitutes that tried to go into the French army camp.
 
The sound produced by the 1883 Krakatoa eruption had an amplitude exceeding 170 dB within a 100 mile radius, louder than a gunshot. Beyond that, it was audible for at least 3000 miles.

One of the immediate effects of the Chicxulub asteroid was a shockwave that wrought devastation for upwards of 900 miles. The shockwave would then fade into a truly deafening sound with a loudness of 194 dB, with no place on Earth that offers the distance required to safely hear it below 140 dB.

ngl this is straight up the backstory of a creepypasta.

also is there any creepypasta wikia anymore, the faggots from EDF destroyed the major greentext and pasta wikias about a decade ago for the lols.

as for facts cats can drink salt water their livers/kidneys can handle it.
 
Originally, the Friends showrunners wanted to use R.E.M's "Shiny Happy People" as its opening theme. But when they approached the band, they explained the song is not supposed to be a happy-go-lucky tune, but rather a sarcastic take on a Chinese propaganda piece from the Tiananmen Square massacre.
They eventually reached out to The Rembrandts to compose a song that vaguely reminded them of Shiny Happy People, but with an honest, optimistic message.

Thus was born "I'll Be There For You", the iconic Friends theme song.

Also it had already been used as the theme song for the Chris Elliott show "Get a Life."
