That one drunken ramble Peter went on about Stewie in the episode where Death showed him what it would be like if he drank more than he did now (I think that was it...?) referenced the fact that, early in the show's history, fans often confused the "laugh and cry" line in the theme song as " 'effin' cry."

>>28373338 I don't know the specifics, but basically something about how the bananas are connected makes them all act as one (in a way). If one banana starts to go bad, it sends a signal to the other ones connected to make them all go bad at the same time, usually before they're ready to go bad.
I found this out recently and I've been telling everyone because it's amazing that this isn't common knowledge.

>>28373489 Prior to the creation of the Actors Guild, the life expectancy of your average extra was distressingly poor.
Michael Curtiz, who directed Casablanca nearly killed a young John Wayne during the filming of a rendition of Noahs Ark for warner brothers when, in order to simulate the flood washing away the masses, he got all of his extra's in a room and dumped hundreds of gallons of water on them.
Four drowned, twenty more were injured and had to go to hospital.
The worst example of this was the 1925 rendition of Ben Hur where in order to make the now famous chariot race look like a convincing death race, Fred Niblo essentially made it a death race, by offering $500 to the winner. The death toll was apparently apalling. But things would only get worse in a scene that would later be cut from the movie where two ships engaged in a brutal boarding action.
Shot on scene in Italy during the rise of Facism, Niblo deliberately seperated the opposing ship crews along politcal lines and then gave them all live blades.
In the middle of the ensuing carnage, he also set fire to one of the ships.
Allegedly, some of the extras survived.

>>28373707 The best example however, would be deranged air mogul Howard Hughes's film "Hells Angels"
His WW1 air film incorporated stunts so dangerous that no stunt-pilot would agree to them, only ex-ww1 pilots would agree to perform the stunts involved. As predicted several of them died during the filming. However his climatic scenes involved aerobatic maneouvers so insane that not even these pilots would agree to them.
So Howard Hughes got into the cockpit and did them himself, and anecdotal evidence that he only crashed at the end because he was upside down at 20 feet giving his pilots on the ground the finger is ALMOST certainly apocryphall.
I don't know about you though, but I WANT to believe.
One of the pilots would later go on to be a stunt pilot for Flight of Phoenix and die instantly when it was discovered that when you jury rig a plane from parts of a bigger plane, there's a good chance all you;ve created is a goddamn deathtrap.
That said, he'd already survived WW1 and Hells Angels, so clearly he was on borrowed time anyway.

If you happen to have a fruit fly problem, a great way to fix it is to simply fill a bowl full of apple cider vinegar and add a drop of dish soap. The soap breaks up the surface tension of the vinegar, and the smell attracts the flies, so when they land on the vinegar they fall in and drown immediately. It's best to use unscented dish soap so as to not mask the smell of the vinegar.

Because of Werewolves being banned they had to clear this up by establishing that it was written by a Marv Wolfman. After that, other writers demanded that they be credited for their work in the same manner and it became commonplace as it is today.

I think we do comedy far better than America in a lot of ways. Spaced, Fawlty Towers, Alan Partridge, Black Books, The Thick of It, Getting On, Pulling, Fry and Laurie...
Don't take that to mean that Seinfeld didn't raise me on comedy and that Curb Your Enthusiasm, Frasier, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia aren't very dear to my heart. Or that Louie isn't the best show on tv right now.
Also, there are many many excellent shows I've missed off both lists. But our comedy tends to be drier and more sarcastic on the whole and that speaks to me more.
Biased to shit of course.
On a related note, I'm rewatching Roseanne as we speak. Awesomely nostalgic and still holds up

Beyond the financial concern, imagine being Welsh and trying to get the UN to take you seriously without a seat on the Security Council - a seat which currently belongs to the British. We're not going to share it. We've never shared it with the rest of the Commonwealth, so we're unlikely to start now.
It's not even a question of "when", since the swell in support for the SNP at the last elections was primarily a reaction to the perceived corruption of the three main UK-national parties, isn't backed up by a similar swell in approval for independence (which if anything has waned since the SNP came into government and had to start actually doing things), and will probably evaporate at the next election.
Although if they do leave, that's pretty much it for the permanent UNSC seats, assuming we lose ours. That'll be interesting to watch.
