It was long reported that the final written words of Walt Disney were Kurt Russell's name scribbled on a piece of paper. Russell confirmed that he had seen the paper himself, but did not know what Disney was trying to convey.

As animals native to Europe, hedgehogs hold a rightful place in European folklore. Since the mammal did not possess any "righteous" qualities, it never made it to the court art; however, its relationships with fairy tales has been a long and fruitful one.

Be careful what signs you make with your hands - you might get sued by a wrestler.

On August 31, 2010 professional wrestler "Diamond" Dallas Page filed a lawsuit against 3OH!3 for copyright infringement of his trademarked "Diamond Cutter" symbol. The gesture is made by connecting the thumbs and index fingers of one's hands in a single vertical plane. Page's gesture is meant to be in the shape of a diamond to correspond with his wrestling nickname, while 3OH!3's gesture is meant to symbolize the bands's name with the middle finger, ring finger and little finger representing the number three on either side of the empty space created by joining the index fingers and thumbs which represents the 'OH'. The lawsuit is for unauthorized use of the copyrighted logo which was used to promote the band. Page previously filed a similar lawsuit against rapper Jay-Z in 2005 which resulted in Page dropping the lawsuit for an undisclosed amount of money.

They formed the Dreamland record label in 1979. Chapman later said that the label was an attempt to keep some of the partnership together. " I wanted Nicky Chinn to show me what he could do without me. So we started the label and put him in charge.The company folded after just 18 months.' Chapman was free to go it alone without the burden of the partnership." Those were difficult years, 1973 to 1978, I really didn't need a partnership and tried desperately to get away from it." It's a long story.

In musician circles, the song is known for its highly influential half-time shuffle, as well as a blowing ending guitar solo played by guitarist Steve Lukather.

Gregg has recently been working on a solo album with an expected release of late 2005 or early 2006, but because he was unlucky with mother nature it is not certain if and/or when it will be released (Hurricane Katrina wiped out his business ventures in Biloxi, leaving him in a bit of a folly).

Although classically considered conjoined twinning (which it resembles), this anomaly is not normally due to the fusion or incomplete separation of two embryos. It is the result of a protein called sonic hedgehog homolog (SHH). (The unlikely sounding name of this protein was inspired by the Sonic the Hedgehog videogame character[3] and is part of an idiosyncratic naming tradition in molecular biology research that some have criticized as frivolous.)[4][5]

I remember learning about Sonic hedgehog homologs in biochem.
