Tedster Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 Everything I do is useless trivia. I heard somewhere in one of those weird email things that gets forwarded around that a pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes. That's pretty useless trivia...unless you happen to be a pig.

KHAN Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 The world's largest collection of preserved human brains is maintained in a WW II era bomb shelter beneath the Runwell Psychiatric Hospital in Essex, England. 8,000 brains collected over the past 40 years are available for researchers to study. The collection has already provided valuable information on boxing-associated brain damage, schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease. So Many Drummers. So Little Time...

rold Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 >>Jan. 24 - Warren Zevon<< Sweet! I share a birthday with Warren Zevon!!! :) (Uh, who's Warren Zevon?) :D I *think* Beethoven's bday is on the 27th as well... meh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedster Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 Just in case you are serious, 'Rold, and aren't familiar with Warren Zevon, you may wish to do an internet search. Semi obscure 70s vintage rock and roller (but still active) with actually one hit, "Werewolves of London"...but many other notable tunes for those who wish to delve. Seems to me like a lot of the stuff I've heard of his leans toward dark or darkly humorous. "Cisco Kid, was a friend of mine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rold Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 Tedster, I WAS totally serious - never heard of him to my knowledge..then again I'm no poster-boy for good memory either.. :D I have heard Werewolves of London, and possibly more of his material, but you know how good radio hosts are at mentioning songs' authors :rolleyes: hmm..another piece of useless trivia: if you get dismembered, your brain stays active for another 8-10 seconds... :eek: meh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantasticsound Posted December 31, 2001 Share Posted December 31, 2001 Utterly useless trivia... In the Atari 2600 game, adventure (the one with the dragons that look more like rabid ducks) if you take all the magic items, along with a single pixel dot hidden in the black castle, to the room to the right of the Gold Castle's exit, you can move through the wall and read the programmers personal signature! That's been useless for over 15 years! Fun for you and your hole..... ...family! :D Top that! ;) (The sad part is, I'm sure someone [i]will[/i]!) It's easiest to find me on Facebook.

Maybe he did other stuff but this is the one I know about. You can hold a clinic with his bottleneck guitar tone.

A couple good ones I remember off that record was 'Roland the headless Thompson gunner' & the title song, 'Excitable Boy'. These were the ones played on the radio back in '77. (along w/warewolves..) It was kinda like punk/bizarre music, along the lines of The Talking Heads. Here's the 'Mac Faq', everything you ever wanted to know about macaroni & cheese but were afraid to ask: http://www.geocities.com/macandcheesebox/macfaq.html#best draw blood, Matt [ 12-30-2001: Message edited by: Hippie ] In two days, it won't matter.
