From 2001 to 2006, Kiss offered for sale a custom-made coffin emblazoned with imagery of the band for $4500. On the Howard Stern radio show, Gene Simmons said of the casket, "This is the ultimate Kiss collectible. I love livin’, but this makes the alternative look pretty damn good."[8] The coffin is frequently cited as a prime example of just how extreme the band's quest for merchandising can be. Notable people to be buried in a Kiss Kasket include Pantera guitarist Dimebag Darrell.

Donkey Burger (Chinese: 驴肉火烧; pinyin: lǘròu huǒshāo) is a kind of sandwich commonly eaten in Baoding, Hebei Province, China, where it is considered a local specialty,[1] as well as in other places in China. Chopped or shredded donkey meat is placed within a huǒshāo or shao bing, a roasted, semi-flaky bread pocket, and eaten as a snack or as part of a meal. The meat is often served cold, often with green pepper or cilantro leaves, in a warm huoshao. It is not a proper burger.

On 12 November 2009, a home video was released to Wikileaks showing Vajiralongkorn and a topless Princess Srirasm celebrating the birthday of the Prince's poodle dog, Air Chief Marshal Foo Foo.

In late 1996, she used mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to help revive an 81-year-old woman, Alice Olson, who collapsed at a bar in Portland, Oregon, while playing video poker.[46]

The movie received mixed reviews from critics, and was criticised in the United States for its lack of depth and excessive use of nuns for humour. Nuns on the Run currently holds a 47% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

read that as "lack of excessive use of nuns for humour"

There has been discussion stating that the first year "Sea-Wees" had heads from a different mold than later dolls. This is untrue. The heads do not vary. It's the placement of features and the shape of the mouth that varies. The eyes were meant to be registered in the middle of the head sculpture and rest on the top of the cheek bones. During the second and third year, the dolls eyes were printed in a higher position on the face—sometimes so (unaturally high they are actually in the forehead!) and even some of the later series like Icy Gals and Bubble Ballet, the eyes were printed up -- This gives the face a longer look. When the eyes are printed where they should be towards the center of the face, the faces appear to be rounder. This was simply sloppy factory work that went unchecked. You can often find Sea-Wees (with one eye up a lot higher than the other—or the mouth printed off balance—be picky) when collecting and ask to see good pics from the seller before you buy or bid on a doll.

i have a new favorite:

The perhaps fictional paper presents this analytic paradigm as an extension of previously known concepts. Since it was not an academic publication, it did not claim novelty, even though the approach introduced was new and novel. An excerpt from the fictional paper reads:

The 1972 paper is ignored, because there is not any evidence that it was actually published and may be a fictional creation.

The killer of the film is motivated by sexual frustration.[1] The character is intentionally portrayed as a "creep", as often called in the film. The intend was to portray the characters in a way that the audience will feel no empathy for him. The type of villain an audience wants to see go down.[1]

The film features both violence, and "gratuitous nudity". It combines the two by having victims killed while naked or partially undressed.[1]

From the article on the 14th century poet Hafez, a section titled "Bibliomancy"

Many Iranians use Divan of Hafez for fortune telling. Iranian families usually have a Divan of Hafez in their house and when they get together during Nowruz or Yaldā open the Divan randomly and read the poem of that page. They believe that the poem on that page actually matches what happens to them in the future.[22]

Hedren was also instrumental in the development of Vietnamese-American nail salons in the United States.[1]

Annona crassiflora, commonly known as the Marolo or Araticum do cerrado, is a flowering plant in the Annonaceae family. The flowers of a marolo look like jellyfishes wearing hats.

I Love Music (ILM) is a popular Internet music Internet forum. Notable regular posters have included Momus, Ned Raggett, Mark Sinker, The Village Voice music editor Chuck Eddy and notorious rapist [[Matthew Perpetua. ILM originated as the message board for music website Freaky Trigger.

Stand-up comedian Donovan Strain has deduced the exact day Ice Cube had a 'Good Day' using clues within the lyrics of the song.[12] Strain claims that, "The ONLY day where: Yo! MTV Raps was on air, it was a clear and smogless day in Los Angeles, beepers or pagers were commercially sold, Lakers beat the SuperSonics, and Ice Cube had no filming commitments was January 20, 1992." Deadspin followed up with some fact checking corroborating the claim.[13]

Questions remain about whether or not the Goodyear Blimp was actually in the air that day around Compton. According to Deadspin, "... one can see the Goodyear blimp—and perhaps its lights—from the 405, which runs through southern LA." But if the blimp was not in the air, its lights were not likely to be on.[citation needed]

Smith cites Amy Winehouse as an influence, so much so that in May 2014, he tweeted that he still missed her.[23]

Sejad Salihović (born 8 October 1984) is a Bosnian footballer......
