He has five sisters. Two are named Achiely Barnett and Summer. The others are triplets.

Triplets don't have names and share a hive mind, apparently....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Cool

Cool's autobiography, Phil Cool Died Here (And Lived To Tell The Tale), was followed by a book of 'Art Brut'-inspired sketches of children.

In a 2002 production on BBC comedy performers, Karl Howman recalled how he and Cool obtained tickets and backstage passes for a World Championship Wrestling (WCW) event while both were in the United States during the early 1990s. Cool's humour and impressions of wrestling stars such as Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair were well received by the wrestlers backstage who were told of his BBC work and keen to have Cool involved in the product in some way. Cool's schedule would not allow a long term commitment, but he did appear at one live show, portraying masked wrestler Kendo Nagasaki (also known as The Dragonmaster). Cool was unmasked and revealed as an imposter sent by Nagasaki to throw off his opponent. The real Nagasaki, played by Kazuo Sakurada (who is also well known as the trainer of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and WCW superstar Bret "The Hitman" Hart), appeared on the rampway as Cool delivered some amusing facial expressions and a brief monologue in the ring.[7]

"Throughout the film, Spicoli serves as the comic relief, usually opposite Mr. Hand in a series of amusing sketches. He was also late when he stayed in the food lines to get a bagel."

Noodles is also allegedly color blind. For the better part of the band's career, it was a popular belief that Noodles liked to pick on and annoy Greg K, The Offspring's bassist.

Filmed with a budget of about $12 million, Under the Cherry Moon failed to gain any breakout audience, despite much pre-publicity (including a special MTV premiere in Sheridan, Wyoming). Coincidently, while attending the premiere in Sheridan, minor vandalism was reported on the feature film's vintage car. Police reported the vandalism as minor petty theft, including the extraction of valve stem covers and a priceless gas cap.

a priceless gas cap.

In 2004 the museum encountered problems receiving web traffic and sending and receiving emails due to the modern connotations of its name confusing pornography filters.

Navarro has been a part of the music scene since the dawn of mankind and has been associated with every musician down through history. His earliest known collaboration was with Elvis the Caveman, as depicted in the cave paintings of Lascaux, France, where he plays a mammoth tusk with gut strings attached. This is the first known evidence of guts strings being used on an instrument. The [[Hurrian songs]] which were engraved into a clay tablet in 1400 BC is attributed to Dave Navarro. h.6, which was long thought to be anonymous, is the first known solo work by Navarro.

He collaborated extensively with all major classical composers including Bach, Haydn, Handel, Beethoven and Mozart. For example, Beethoven and Navarro collaborated on Sonata No. 14, now commonly known as the "Moonlight" Sonata. The influence of Navarro's classical period can be seen in many of his modern efforts with [[Jane's Addiction]].

At its conclusion, the video uses the post-modern concept of exposing its own workings, as with a wry expression Henley drives the car away from a rear projection screen.

Proof of the Man

Munesue starts to suspect that Kyoko knows more than she is letting on. He travels to New York to find out more about the dead man. There he is partnered with an American detective, played by George Kennedy, who seems to be the same man who killed Munesue's father. Munesue finds that the young man is the son of a black American soldier and a Japanese woman. He also finds Yasugi's son, who deliberately provokes George Kennedy into shooting him dead. Munesue returns to Japan and begins to suspect Kyoko. He travels to a resort and discovers that Kyoko was a prostitute in the years after the war. Finally he has enough evidence and confronts Kyoko that the black man was her son, and she killed him to protect her reputation. Kyoko commits suicide. In America, George Kennedy goes looking for the black man's father and finds he is dead. Then George Kennedy is stabbed and dies.

oh ffs

god, i thought this was the rip thread for a second

A memorable incident occurred during a televised World Championship Match against Dennis Taylor at the Crucible. Werbeniuk attempted to stretch across the table, but due to his size was having some difficulty. Eventually, the inevitable happened and he split his trousers. The ripping noise it made caused many in the audience, including his opponent, to laugh out loud. Werbeniuk took it in good humour, asking the audience "who did that?" as if insinuating that the noise was attributed to flatulence.

Eventually the inevitable

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodore_G._Bilbo

His funeral at Juniper Grove Cemetery[33] in Poplarville was attended by 5,000 mourners, including the governor and the junior senator. A bronze statue of Bilbo was placed in the rotunda of the Mississippi State Capitol building. It was relocated to another room, which is now frequently used by the Legislative Black Caucus. Some of the members use the statue's outstretched arm as a coat rack.[34]

This is possibly more funny than unusual

Andy Duncan's short story, "Senator Bilbo," which appears in the collection, Seekers of Dreams (2005), edited by Douglas A. Anderson, takes the coincidence of Bilbo sharing a name with J. R. R. Tolkien's character as an excuse to imagine racial segregation in Tolkien's fictional village of Hobbiton.

misread that as "sneakers of deems". too much time on ilx.

He attended college at the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California, where he had many friends[citation needed]

Francisco Román Alarcón Suárez (born 21 April 1992), commonly known as Isco (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈisko]), is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Real Madrid mainly as an attacking midfielder. He wears the number 23 shirt as a tribute to his hero Shola Ameobi

As on past Fiery Furnaces' albums, the backing tracks have a narrative aspect, excuse the expression. For instance, the long 'bassoon' and altered tabla part in "The Philadelphia Grand Jury" might indicate the singer in the song's waiting for the word (verdict). The loud guitar-drums-and-Chamberlin 'thunderstorm' part towards the end of "Ex-Guru" indicates the thunderstorm brought about by the jilted ex-guru. The synthesizer filtering of the acoustic guitar in "Duplexes of the Dead" indicates the odd light that filters through the dirty curtains a duplex of the dead would no doubt have. The swelling melody at the end of "My Egyptian Grammar" indicates the pride that likely swells up in the breast of a blue jay referred to therein. The monkey and cow noises in "The Old Hag is Sleeping" indicate the rooster at dawn. The guitar solo at the end of "Cabaret of the Seven Devils" counts to seven. The train sound effect in "Japanese Slippers" indicates a train. And so forth.

I feel you should have bolded up "excuse the expression" tbh. And "And so forth". Also this paragraph is a rich bounty of possible display names.

so i'm guessing the reviewers who liked the fiery furnaces are the ones who believe everything they read in press releases

An altered version of the song, with the refrain "They're Crumbelievable", was used in a 2005 US television advertisement for Kraft Crumbles.[17]

Another altered version of the song, with the refrain "They're Twin-believable" was used during the Minnesota Twins 1991 championship drive and eventual World Series victory.

In the late 1990s, a band in Milwaukee incorporated the word into its name--NLTA, which stood for Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is Longer Than Antidisestablishmentarianism. Only later did they discover that Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis started with a P, not an N[citation needed].

What's the "unusual" part in this one?

Unusually florid and cod-bio in style.

José Paronella arrived in nearby Innisfail, Queensland, Australia in 1913, having sailed from Catalonia in northern Spain to plan a splendid life for himself and his fiancée Matilda. José worked hard for 11 years, creating his wealth by buying, improving and selling cane farms. While travelling through the beautiful countryside he discovered a virgin forest alongside spectacular Mena Creek Falls - perfect for his dream.
Upon returning to Spain, José discovered that Matilda had married another! Determined to sail back with a bride José proposed to Margarita, Matilda's younger sister. One year later the happy newlyweds were ship bound for Australia and by 1929 had purchased the land of José' dreams. He first built the grand 47-step staircase to shift building materials between the lower and upper level. Here the fun-loying couple had their cottage hand built of stone, and moved in on Christmas Eve.
