This is the thread for unusual details in wikipedia articles.

"Ivor Biggun"

His big hit was, of course, "The Winker's Song (Misprint)".

He was also 'Doc' Cox on That's Life at one point, brought in to replace Cyril Fletcher iirc.

yup, ydrc

iastr that John Lydon was credited with the chart success of The Winker's Song, after he made it SotW. Was it in the NME, maybe?

Naima Kradjian, former Republican candidate for Mayor of Binghamton is an actress in this movie in which she gets poked on a bus and gets angry.

The video (directed by Gavin Bowden) features the band sitting on sides of a street next to some telephone booths. A supermarket is also shown. The video switches from color video images to black-and-white images. During the introduction and the third verse of the song, Thomas walks in the middle of the street with some construction signs and lights. During the third verse, a car stops with a bare-chested man and a woman inside. The man walks out, revealing a catheter in his chest, and is handed three cigarettes by Thomas. Finally, during the last two choruses, the band is shown playing their instruments ending with an image of Thomas standing next to the telephone booths.

Description
I like this grave marker for a couple of reasons. The statue has an enigmatic look, and the profile is a sexy dishabille. Even an inanimate object can be an aphrodisiac.

Bo usually wears a cream-yellow shirt; it is a stronger yellow in the first and second season, a lighter cream color from the third season, and in the sixth and seventh season has more of a grey hue to it. (The only break from this norm is in the second episode produced and broadcast, "Daisy's Song", where Bo wears a red shirt for much of the story, and a sequence in the fifth episode, "High Octane", where he wears a light blue shirt. Many early publicity shots show the character to be wearing a dark blue denim shirt.) For the first two seasons he wears a blue T-shirt underneath (brown in the first episode); this was slowly phased out during the third season.

lmao S-

That is incredible, S-

Am actually crying.

Cheestrings became a popular snack in the UK and Republic of Ireland in the early 1990s. They are made from processed cheese by Kerry Group and the mascot is a cartoon character called Mr Strings.[9] The original advert had a theme tune based on the popular song "Bend Me, Shape Me" but with different lyrics ("You got a cheese string day or night, you got a cheese string you're all right").[10] Originally Mr Strings was a wild cartoon character who pulled himself apart[11] but by the late 1990s the packaging had been redesigned with a more simplified mascot.[12] On television the original Mr Strings was phased out and replaced by an unseen character who played creepy practical jokes on teenage consumers. In the late 2000s the design of Mr Strings was changed for a third time[13] to appear more child-friendly and was given a new catchphrase ("Hey, I'm just cheese").[14]

Another single entitled Green Tambourine also did not chart despite the fact that Leka had stripped away the vocals of The Lemon Pipers' hit from the previous year and given the backing track to the group to record their own cover.

Reception

Movie critic for The Commercial Appeal, John Beifuss, reviewed the film, stating;"while robust Wikipedia entries can be found for the other Arnold and Alland science-ficton films, "The Space Children" rates only these two sentences: 'The Space Children' is a 1958 film directed by Jack Arnold. The movie was featured on 'Mystery Science Theater 3000' in 1998 during season 9.".[12]

The guilty verdicts were upheld, though his sentence was halved after medical evidence was produced to suggest he was suffering from a mental illness. Saunders was suggested by doctors at Ford Open Prison possibly to be suffering from premature Alzheimer's disease, a common form of dementia; if this was a correct diagnosis, he made a recovery unique in medical history. Alzheimer's, like all dementias, is usually incurable, being a progressive degenerative disease of the brain. Saunders has since maintained that he must have been depressed.

This process of trial and torture was known as "taking a shirt from Charlie", because of Charlie Richardson's habit of giving each victim a clean shirt in which to return home since the victim's original shirt was usually covered in blood.[citation needed]

Just mentioned on FB by Rhodri Marsden -- from Supertramp's page:

In 1969 Stanley 'Sam' August Miesegaes, a Dutch millionaire, ceased financial support to a band called The Joint as he was disappointed with them.

Other speakers believe the avoidance of the term to be offensive and deliberately use the term so as not to cause offense.

Some people believe that Candy Land inspired Dylan Lauren (daughter of Ralph Lauren) to create the Dylan's Candy Bar store, but it was in fact the popular movie Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory that inspired her.

Moody's family still remain a well-known close family among East London, his wife Val lives in Hullbridge, Essex, a beloved place of Moody's when he was on the run. Janine and her two children live in Kent, a much better scene for the children to live than among the crime-rife life of East London. The apple of Jimmy's eye, Chayce was perhaps the only person ever to make Jimmy think about his life.

An example of EastEnders '​ popularity is that after episodes, electricity use in the United Kingdom rises significantly as viewers who have waited for the show to end begin boiling water for tea, a phenomenon known as TV pickup. Over five minutes, power demand rises by three GW, the equivalent of 1.5 to 1.75 million teakettles. National Grid personnel watch the show to know when closing credits begin so they can prepare for the surge, asking for additional power from France if necessary.[116]

But how, he asked himself, can an explosion to one side be used to compress the ball of fusion fuel within 5% of symmetry? Then it hit him! Focus the X-rays![citation needed]

this kind of tea leaf reading re: the new radicals' potential 3rd single is what makes wikipedia great imo:

Although no third single was released, there are some (conflicting) clues as to what would have been the third single: Certain promotional copies of Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too come with a sticker reading "includes 'You Get What You Give' 'I Don't Wanna Die Anymore' 'Someday We'll Know'",[17] suggesting that "I Don't Wanna Die Anymore" would join the other two as a single release. Several websites selling the album also marked the track as "Album Version", indicating that there would be a single version at some point.[18] However, there also exist copies of "Mother We Just Can't Get Enough" as both a one-track promotional single[19] and as a four-track commercial single with a barcode.[20] These apparently never made it to retail and were probably test pressings.
