Fun facts!

Ducks have twisted penises.

Correction. They are corkscrewed.

Banging your head against the wall burns 150 calories and hour....

Does headbanging to heavy metal technically count?

Eh

There is a parasite that changes sexual preference, it makes rats sexually attracted to cat urine, which lures them to cats, which then eat the rats, which gives the parasite to the cat, making them, fuck if I know what it does then, which can spread to humans, which can make them gay.
Insert anti-gay joke here.

Which can lead to toxoplasmosis and there was a famous artist who suffered from it. He painted cats and as he descended into madness his cats became more and more abstract. The cat defecates and the parasite is spread to the human who cleans its litterbox. The name of the artist escapes me at the current moment.

If a human is born underwater, it can go the rest of its life without needing to surface for air.

Has somebody tested this?!!
I understand how that works though. They float in amniotic fluid which is similar to water.
I wish I had been born underwater.
I COULD HAVE BEEN A FREAKING MERMAID!!
XD

bonobos rape their children

They have sex or sexual contact almost constantly.
But it is not always of a sexual nature or for copulation

Learned that from my Anthropology professor.

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?

Nah, it's just because they're aussies.

Yes it's a fantastic film, go check it out

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

I'm pretty sure, this is not true, since a lot of people were kept in darkness up till the modern age.
Though it is apparently possible that you lose the concept of individuality and yourself when you are kept in dark solitary confinement for too long.

Still better than Captain Marvel.

Amish men style their beards the way they do as a way of showing devotion to their wives and as a testament to their desire for peace. Ya see, the men typically don’t grow beards until they get married, and once they start growing it they abstain from trimming any part of it excluding the mustache for the rest of their marriage, sort of as a way of showing that they’re taken and how long they’ve been with their wife. The fact that they don’t wear mustaches is a relic from the days when Amish communities first became a thing, since carefully-trimmed mustaches with a clean-shaven jawline became associated with soldiers and the military back in those days (especially with the notable fascist militaries), Amish men opted to do the opposite and keep their beards and sideburns long without the mustache as a way of displaying their more pacifistic nature.

Source: I bought some donuts from some Amish people at a fair last year, and in a moment of social retardation I awkwardly blurted out a question about their beards. Pretty friendly guys, those Amish.

On the same day that James Van Allen announced his discovery of the Van Allen belts in space, he agreed to help the US military nuke it to see what happened. Hotels advertised outdoor & rooftop "Rainbow Bomb Parties" for the event, which was code named Starfish Prime. A historian noted that it was the first time that he knew of that we discovered something & immediately tried to blow it up.

Son of the Mask was inducted into the National Film Registry in 2015.

In 2015, the United States Library of Congress selected the film for preservation in the National Film Registry, finding it "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".[3]

Paramount's Forrest Gump beat out Miramax's Pulp Fiction for the 1994 Best Picture Oscar. Miramax's Shakespeare in Love beat out Paramount's Saving Private Ryan for the 1998 Best Picture Oscar.

The biggest irony is that all four films could be under Paramount as they are attempting to acquire the Miramax film library as Viacom seeks to buy a stake in Miramax from Being Media Group.

Viacom is said to emerge as front-runner for Miramax stake

Viacom Inc., the media company that’s combining with CBS Corp., has emerged as the front-runner to buy a stake in Miramax films, which owns award-winning pictures such as “Pulp Fiction,” people familiar with the matter said. Another bidder, Lions Gate Entertainment Corp., has dropped out of the…

More of that Weinstein fallout.

Another fun fact: all the Miramax people were okay with Weinstein's notorious predatory behavior until he fell off his game and didn't seem to be interested in their flagging finances.

Really bad taste game: watch a Miramax movie and guess which poor actress had Harvey flailing on her like a sweaty, hairy beached seal.

Frida with Salma Hayek?

 

[AnOminous]

Frida with Salma Hayek?

What he did there was, if anything, actually worse. It was utterly sadistic and contemptible behavior, however nothing he did actually violated the law. She was too powerful herself to outright rape her but he just did absolutely shitty stuff in the course of making the movie.

She wrote about it.

He threatened to shut down “Frida” if I didn’t comply with his demands.

I actually heard about it when it all came out. I also heard that he was being a cunt to Ashley Judd when Disney and Miramax were working on Lord of the Rings before it went to New Line, is this true?

But to go off topic, do you personally think since his trial is being delayed, do you think Weinstein and possibly Disney will go after Paramount over potential copyright issues, since Disney and Weinstein produced some of those films?

I have no idea. I bet Weinstein sues someone before everything's over, though. Maybe Miramax itself.

He’s gonna be a salty motherfucker if and when Viacom/Paramount gets the Miramax library.
