You probably are one of the few but as far as unpopular opinions go, we all have some so I don't really see any problem with it.

Remember how I mentioned some trivia about Brad Bird attempting to do Will Eisner's The Spirit as an animated feature? Here's a trailer from the purposed animated feature.

Ever heard of the Garuda Wasp?

It's a recently discovered Wasp species that we've only ever found dead. We have yet to find one alive, and know nothing about their behaviour or biology beyond speculation.

There was once a time when Twister was seen as more of an "adult" game. In fact, there were some stores that would not sell the game due to it being "too risque," which lead it to be discontinued for sometime. It was not until Johnny Carson played it with Eva Gabor on the Tonight Show that boosted sells for the game and the game was given a better light in people's eyes.

The Hero of Oakvale, along with others from Albion, has seen them alive. Then he killed them. With a stick. For that annoying Guildmaster.

Klaus Schulze remains one of the most active recording musicians of all time. Currently 67 years old, he still tours and releases new albums. As of date, he has released:
43 albums under his real name, Klaus Schulze
7 albums under the name Richard Wahnfried
12 "The Dark Side of The Moog" albums (re-imaging classic Pink Floyd albums with ONLY Moog synthesizers)
5 albums as the drummer/keyboardist of The Cosmic Jokers
4 albums as a member of Ash Ra Temple
3 albums as a member of GO
and finally, 11 OTHER albums that were collaborations with other artists.
This adds up to: 85 albums since 1970. Which averages nearly 2 a year.
This man. Respect him.

This is one of the first videos to display 3D human models. Its also one of the first music videos to utilize 3D animation, the first video played on MTV of Europe, and was parodied by Weirld Al.



The guys who animated it, Rainmaker Entertainment, are currently working on the Sly Cooper and Ratchet & Clank adaptations.

You can also hear Sting in the intro.

Did you know? There used to be a cereal of the Oreo cookie? It was called Oreo o's

The product was discounted in 2007, but, was still being produced in South Korea. I wish they didn't cancel this cereal. I freaking loved this as a kid.

I loved those. A lot of my favrate cereals have been discontinued. At lest we still got Eggo cereal.

I wish that Oreo O's  was still made in America. I'm sure that people will love to buy those again, plus it would be bring up the post numbers up.

Apparently, when we remember something from our past, we're recalling the last time we remembered that and our brain distorts it slightly

Pretty cool huh, but when I tried to think of something constantly it kind of didn't work, but whatever.

Something extra about this song:  The lyrics complaining about how easy rock stars are was not written by the band.
Mark Knoplfer was in an appliances store, where two workers were complaining how easy rock stars had it getting millions by being flashy and slinging a guitar around while they barely made a living by moving TVs and microwaves.
Mark hid back and wrote everything they said.  Then he re-arranged it into a song.

I'm not sure I know a better example of irony.

Did you guys ever want to die in the worst way possible?

Well I just found it.

Well, it's debatable. I'd hate to be buried alive, or burned alive, but just imagine this
