Friday, Jul. 16, 2004 - 4:02 P.M. I�m slacking. Maybe you knew these interesting tidbits previously, maybe you did not. In any case, you can dazzle your friends and be the life of the party with these bits o� useless information. Or not. Whatever. It�s really up to you. Did you know�* wedding cake was originally thrown at the bride and groom? I�ve known a few grooms I�d like to hurl some cake at. Some brides too, now that I think about it. Or, possibly an anvil. But I don�t think those are included as part of general wedding practice. Maybe they should be. the first Ronald McDonald was Willard Scott? Doesn�t that seem like perfect casting to you? I mean, imagine if you were told that, say, Christopher Walken was the first Ronald. Yeah. See? the Venus flytrap �eats� mostly ants, not flies? I guess Venus anttrap doesn�t flow off the tongue as easily as Venus flytrap. houseflies hum in the key of �F?� Perhaps the F stands for �Fuck we�re glad we�re not ants.� Play-Doh was originally formulated as a compound to clean wallpaper? And that is so odd, isn�t it? The fact that kids sometimes stick Play-Doh on the walls. If only they had also formulated it to be easily removed from carpet. there are an estimated 1,750 O�s in every can of SpaghettiOs? God, I hope they have a machine to figure that out. an ostrich�s eye is bigger than its brain? Now, haven�t we all known a few humans whom we suspected had the same problem? Tom Green, I�m looking at you. that the only real people ever depicted as Pez dispensers were Betsy Ross and Daniel Boone? Betsy Ross and Daniel Boone? I�m not arguing their Pez immortilization, but come on, Betsy lived from 1732-1856 and Daniel from 1734-1820. How about a little Elvis with some candy coming out of his pelv�er, neck? And, what�s up with not giving Ben Franklin his own Pez? Ben gave us electricity y�all. Surely he is deserving. Ah well, impress your friends and family folks. I�m outtie to the beach for a week. *Source: Who Knew? By: David Hoffman. 4 comments so farYou Give Me Fervor - Friday, Feb. 17, 2006 � Purplecigar
