That's a bombshell right there

An internet meme related to confabulation is the Mandela Effect, a situation where a number of people have memories that are different from available evidence. The term was coined by paranormal enthusiast Fiona Broome, who says she and other people remember Nelson Mandela dying in 1980s, rather than in 2013.[61][62] A common thread of discussion regarding this "effect" is remembering the Berenstain Bears with a different spelling.[63] [64]

We've discussed that site before in some other thread, haven't we?

Schmidt has refined his Schmidt Sting Pain Index (scaled from 1 to 4) with extensive anecdotal experience, culminating in a paper published in 1990 which classifies the stings of 78 species and 41 genera of Hymenoptera.

ow!

Not sure if its online, but that paper has surprisngly evocative descriptions, like wine notes

Found some, describing various wasp and bee stings...

Hot and smoky, almost irreverent. Imagine W. C. Fields extinguishing a cigar on your tongue.

Instantaneous, like the surprise of being stabbed. Is this what shrapnel feels like?

Rude, insulting. An ember from your campfire is glued to your forearm.

Sharp, piercing, and imme- diate. You know what cattle feel when they are branded.

An odd, distressing pain. Tiny blowtorches kiss your arms and legs.

A ritual gone wrong, satanic. The gas lamp in the old church explodes in your face when you light it.

There are gods, and they do throw thunderbolts. Poseidon just rammed his trident into your breast.

Caustic and burning, with a distinctly bitter aftertaste. Like spilling a beaker of hydrochloric acid on a paper cut.

Immediate, irrationally intense, and unrelenting. This is the closest you will come to seeing the blue of a flame from within the fire.

Size matters but isn’t every- thing. A silver tablespoon drops squarely onto your big toenail, sending you hopping.

Burning, corrosive, but you can handle it. A flaming match head lands on your arm and is quenched first with lye and then sulfuric acid.

It’s crawled into your soda can and stings you on the tongue. It’s immediate, noisome, visceral, debilitat- ing. For 10 minutes life is not worth living.

Colorful flames. Fireworks land on your arm.

Swift, sharp, and decisive. Your fingertip has been slammed by a car door.

Electrifying, sharp, and piercing. Next time hire an electrician.

The story of "Precious and Few" has many twists.

He reportedly spent much of his time toward the end of his life on the Internet.

Oh, has [rnd(ILXor)] got a wiki page?

...founded by three brothers, Joseph Cayre, Kenneth Cayre, and Stanley Cayre (the Cayre brothers).

The brothers were also bears with a patented method of glancing at people.

That's great. Practically an Eno lyric.

Mia Sara from Ferris Bueller:

Sara enjoys flying and holds a private pilot license. In March 1996, Sara was married to Jason Connery, son of Sean Connery, with whom she performed in Bullet to Beijing. In June 1997, they had a son, Dashiell Quinn Connery. The couple divorced in 2002. She is now married to Brian Henson, oldest son of Muppets creator Jim Henson;[7] they have one daughter, Amelia Jane Henson, born in 2005.

Characters with noteworthy numbers of strands of hair or fur included both of the two lead characters, Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde, who each had around 2.5 million hairs; a giraffe with nine million strands of fur; a gerbil with 480,000 strands; and a rodent with more strands of hair than the 400,000 that were on Elsa's head in Frozen.

The study was inspired by the case of McArthur Wheeler, a man who robbed two banks after covering his face with lemon juice in the mistaken belief that, because lemon juice is usable as invisible ink, it would prevent his face from being recorded on surveillance cameras.

haha I just looked that up too lol

On March 22, 2016, James Meyers was arrested on an outstanding warrant for failing to return a VHS copy of Freddy Got Fingered, borrowed in 2002 from a now-defunct video rental store.[25] Green offered to pay related fines, if they were not "an outrageous sum".

Follow-up singles failed to match the success of "Breakfast at Tiffany's", hence the reason for the band's classification as a one-hit wonder.

In the 2010s, the reality TV star Kim Kardashian is famous for her buttocks, which have appeared on magazine covers.

glad they clarified that both of them appeared on magazine covers.

Seperately

LOL

The song was one of his angriest political statements and was aimed squarely at President Richard Nixon, who resigned two days after the record's release.

And they say music can't change anything.

Walter Metz attributes the success of the series to its snappy writing, the charm of Elizabeth Montgomery, and the talents of its large supporting cast. The show also made use of respected film techniques for its special effects. The soundtrack was unique, notably where it concerned the synthesized sound of nose twitching.[7]

Curiously she was subpoenaed to appear as a witness in Polly's trial for murder, set for a week after her own execution date. However, it was ruled that Amelia was already legally dead once sentenced and that therefore her evidence would be inadmissible.

Her voiceover work included the horrified screamers in the 1975 blockbuster, Jaws.[2]

Boy, that June Foray could do it all, couldn't she.

It's actually Kathryn Ish

Sorry. Pretty sure it was the voice of Rocky J. Squirrel who did all those screaming voices in Jaws.

It's ok, we've all been suckered by wikipedia before, it's all right.

The soundtrack was unique, notably where it concerned the synthesized sound of nose twitching.[7]

I didn't read that properly and thought for a moment that Bewitched (I assume) might have had (conventional sounding) music that was created from a Matmos-esque hyper-sensitive recording of someone twitching their nose.

that's great!

In 1972, he married Bren Burns and adopted Bren's daughter from a previous marriage, Tamme McCauley. They also had a son, Joshua Max, who died in 1999 at the age of 25. Shortly after that Bren met the fabulous and talented Nancy Carrera in the Indy area.[1][7]

In 1984 he briefly appeared on the BBC show Micro Live, where he set up his new Atari 800XL with his family.

The album's cover art featured a hippie Santa Claus. Peace was notable for being involved in controversy: an anti-war cartoon, in a December 1968 edition of Billboard magazine, featured a graphic image of a bruised and bloodied Santa on a Vietnam battlefield. Mistaking this cartoon for the album's cover art, a drunken executive at Montgomery Ward cancelled all shipments of the album.

Macaroni art, sometimes referred to as macaroni crafts or pasta art, is artwork that is made of dry macaroni or other pasta.[1] The works commonly consist of individual pieces of macaroni glued to a surface to produce a mosaic. However, works may take the form of sculptures.

This type of art is produced during arts and crafts classes at pre-school.[2] Today, it has evolved to become an artform practiced by adults.

In an episode of the television sitcom Seinfeld, Cosmo Kramer produces a small sculpture made of fusilli called "Fusili Jerry". An extremely complex and superb example of noodle art is this poster from a performance by Nancy Sinatra at the world famous Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco. The art the poster was made from is composed entirely of Pasta and Beans (Pasta e Fagioli) The Alphabet Pasta that Ms. Sinatra's face is composed of spells out the lyrics for her hit These Boots Are Made For Walking. http://www.classicposters.com/Nancy_Sinatra/poster/New_Fillmore_Series/194

She lives mostly in Los Angeles, but frequently goes back to visit her family in Minnesota.

^Without looking, I'm guessing Maria Bamford.

So much for my one shot at message board glory. (It was Rachel Leigh Cook.)

He served as director of many episodes over the course of the series' run, and usurped the position of series director by overthrowing Junichi Sato during the second season, Sailor Moon R. More aggressively, Ikuhara served as the director of the first Sailor Moon theatrical movie, also called Sailor Moon R.

During the next 10 years of their marriage, they traveled extensively, usually on location for John Wayne's many films. In 1965, they moved to Newport Beach, California. She rented a studio inside the Fernleaf Courtyard, in Corona Del Mar, California, where she would entertain her clients outdoors with coffee and finger sandwiches and found herself, one year later, with a full-time restaurant.

Pallete has created among other works of art, a collection of still nature and beautiful ladies, belly dancers called "Glamour Girls", and group images from the Hollywood world.

In 1973, she and Wayne separated, and he died of stomach cancer on June 11, 1979

Randi Mayem Singer, the writer of Mrs. Doubtfire, credits "Dude..." as one of the most important songs ever written and as the direct influence for writing the script. She was quoted as saying "Without ['Dude (Looks Like a Lady)'], there would be no Mrs. Doubtfire".[1][better source needed]

As a spoof, the film has no pretense of historical accuracy.

In 1997 Coca-Cola settled trademark dispute with Babson Bros., an industrial cleaning product company whose cow-milking machine has been known as Surge since 1925.

You do not want to know what's all over my keyboard right now.

Since Hidden Treasures was so short-lived, only two commercials were made for it. A temporary mascot was made for the first commercial, a robot named H.T. – H.T. was said to have been programmed to try to figure out what was inside each of the cereal's pieces. He was dropped when the final commercial aired and shattered on impact.

dying at that for some reason
