Ulvaeus has suffered from severe memory loss and no longer remembers much of his life. He has little memory of being famous and has even turned to hypnotism to try and bring back his memory.
True, too, apparantly.

Steven Edwards was born in the South Bronx, to parents from North Carolina and North Virginia. He was also a former bodyguard for Muhammad Ali. He met Tommy DeSimone as a struggling blues-rock musician, singer and songwriter on Queens Boulevard sometime during 1967 while earning money as a street performer. At the time DeSimone was selling stolen Rolex watches. Thomas began to think of Parnell as a "brother" and the two became close friends. It was around this time that Thomas adopted the same integrationist stance of Martin Luther King, that was adopted by Colombo crime family mobster Joe Gallo.

The US Postal Service released a stamp featuring Ogden Nash and six of his poems on the centennial of his birth on 19 August 2002. The six poems are "The Turtle," "The Cow," "Crossing The Border," "The Kitten," "The Camel" and "Limerick One." It was the first stamp in the history of the USPS to include the word "sex," although as a synonym for gender. It can be found under the "O" and is part of "The Turtle".

Best thing in that horribly over-acted "You can't handle the truth!" scene is Jack going "you fucking people" - the phrase is permanently stuck in my head and floats to the front of my consciousness every time something irritates me, like people stopping in front of me in a doorway or people not standing on the right on the escalator - you know, important stuff.

However, despite some areas of Europe, such as Norway, still clinging to the use of oats in brewing until the early part of the 20th century, the practice had largely died out by the sixteenth century, so much so that in 1513 Tudor sailors refused to drink oat beer offered to them because of the bitter flavour.[15][16]

i thought this was pretty sweet:Košarka (meaning basketball in Macedonian and Serbo-Croat) is an abandoned Turkish village in the mountains of the eastern mountain valley of the municipality Demir Kapija in the Republic of Macedonia. Most of its residents moved down, close to the highway to develop another village, Laki. Laki is not a registered village, yet, but electricity has been brought to the villagers. There is a fountain where the village used to be, yet, difficult to find, as the footpath has been worn, hardly ever used.

[The French town of] Ferney was first noted in 14th-century Burgundian registers as "Fernex." Four centuries later, however, Voltaire changed the "x" to a "y" due to the excessive number of towns in the region with names ending in "x," such as Maconnex, Saconnex, Gex, Versonnex, Ornex.

The Roger Rabbit dance
The Roger Rabbit became a popular dance move in the early 1990s.[37][38] It was named after the floppy movements of the Roger Rabbit cartoon character. In movement, the Roger Rabbit dance is similar to the Running Man, but done by skipping backwards with arms performing a flapping gesture. Both The Running Man and The Roger Rabbit have since been called "outdated."[39]
