RE: General "Did you Know?"s - CosmykTheDolfyn - 03-19-2014
Many people simply skim over 'The one I Love' by R.E.M., thinking it's another simple love song. However, is vague lyrics describe something much deeper. To quote
'This one goes out to the one I Love,
This one goes out to the one I left behind
It was a simple prop to occupy my time,
This one goes out to the one I Love.'
Lead singer Michael Stripe has stated that those lyrics refer to a thing, not a person, and that the lyrics are actually extremely violent. This has lead some to believe it is describing the rehab process he went through to overcome his painkiller addiction, that he loved the feeling the drugs gave him, but they were only a way to keep him from getting bored, and he successfully gave them up through rehab.

This actually creeps me out. A lot.

Despite not getting off of the ground during development, Charles Schultz did enjoy the script that John Hughes had written for a film based off of Charles Schultz's characters.
That sounds like a really bad idea. Almost like a live-action Calvin and Hobbes movie. All I can think about is the Dennis the Menace movie (Dennis to my UK friends) and how bad THAT was.
...But Dennis the Menace was a live action show...

and if your talking about the tv show coming before the strip, the strip started in 51 and the show in 59.

^And has turned Mr.Wilson into a meme of him wanting to play 'buttball' with Dennis, and have a hit single 'get outta here' thanks to the Game grumps.

So, since there is a new Muppet movie out...
Watch the original Muppets, and nearly all of them are left handed. That is due to the Muppeteer being right-handed. It took one hand to control the mouth and body, which you would use your dominant hand to do. One would then use their other hand to control one of the Muppets arms. Since most were using the right hand to control the mouth, one would then control the left hand of the Muppet with your left hand, while the right hand would be pinned back and motionless. If a muppet required both hands for the performance, two people would control it together, one operating the body and mouth, while another controlled the two arms.
Also, the original Fozzie the Bear Muppet had a small engine in it that allowed the ears to vibrate quickly (which was used as a gag when he laughed). However, after the 1st season of the Muppet show, they removed it, decreasing his weight by over half and making him much easier to handle.

Did you know two or more horses playing together in a field are considered as "horsing around"?

Bob the Builder had a #1 hit in the UK. No seriously. It was a cover of Mambo no. 5.
I may or may not have lost a small amount of respect for the English...

The internet is obsessed with a woman involved in the Crimea annexation, more so based upon her looks.

Screw that, I think the original Bob the Builder song sold way more than that.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOB the builder *can he fix it?*
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOB the builder *yes he can!*
The show came out after I stopped watching that kind of show, but I'm pretty sure 98% of people can still sing the song.

Sometimes me and my family just bust out in the song if someone says something about fixing things. The only difference is that most of the time someone will say "Nope, it's f*cked."

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was made long on purpose. According J.K. Rowling, She had wrote herself into corner when she wanted Harry to bring He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named back to live, which meant that Harry needed to do something to get to where he was. J.K. wrote half the book before having to basically go back to the beginning an rewrite parts of the story to get out of the plot hole. She missed the deadline by two months and added close to half of the book in that time.

I like reading things like this explaining to myself a little of why I am the way I am and how it isn't a terrible, horrible thing to want to be left the F! alone sometimes or stay in small packs of people.
