Speaking of...

20. In most television commercials advertising milk, a mixture of white paint and a little thinner is used in place of the milk.


I've heard in the past that Elmer's glue was used in place of milk for like ads displaying a bowl of cereal.

Eric

YIKES Eric.

I read that thing about Hitchcock somewhere else. He was BORN with it, but had some kind of surgery later in life and that section of flesh was removed.

Travolta also turned down "American Gigolo" and "Chicago," two other roles that Richard Gere ended up taking.

Of those 40,000 Americans injured by toilets each year, I'm willing to be a large number of them are plumbers. I sliced my finger on a broken piece of ceramic from the back tank last year. So, now we just have to figure out who the other 39,999 were. Or maybe not.

And speaking of milk ads, in most of those "Got Milk?" ads, the featured celebs actually drank heavy cream so that the mustache would be more vsible.

Here's another true fact -- or at least, I like to think it is and I have yet to discover otherwise: Any American-made film made after 1968 in which the main story takes place in America after the Revolutionary War that is not sci-fi/fantasy/futuristic will show an American flag somewhere. My best friend and I like to try and fin it, even if it's in an establishing shot or closing shot in the distance. This is true for made-for-TV movies also. It won't always be THE flag, but it may be a depiction of a flag. Sometimes you have to look carefully, but you can find it -- as the camera pans down a city street, or behind a judge in a courtroom, or in a child's artwork, or on a cop's uniform.

My son injured himself with a toilet once. He was just tall enough to stand up and go, so he pushed the lid up, like a good little boy and it crashed down on him. He was a littel bruised, but we think everything is fine.

OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The mental picture of the toilet seat crashing down is a little scary.

Yes, I was in pain for him. but 8 years later he's doing well.

wow interesting!

I'm SO glad I'm a female. Just thinking of that makes me cross my legs in pain!
