What do you know today that you didn't know yesterday?

Based on an interview by Big Boy, Bone Thugs N Harmony had no where to stay after arriving in L.A. California. They were all in. Turning back wasn't an option. Their dream and mission was to sign with Eazy-E under Ruthless Records. 



Eazy delayed the release of his own album to successfully launch BTNH's career.

Dayam, that's messed up. I hope that His Most Holy Catholic King of Spain is repentant. 

One thing that came out of that visit- the sailors brought gonorrhea back with them, to infect the European continent. I have an ancient memory that it was the other way around.

Hey, I grew up reading her books. Me and my grandmother.

My sister, not so much. She was more into Johanna Lindsey.

To each their own, of course. I grew up reading generic sci fi and encyclopedias.

Has she written more than 200 books, or has she written the same book more than 200 times?

In Germany it is faster to send data by horse than using the Internet*.


*My favourite story about Germany’s slow internet came from the deepest
Sauerland, a region of rolling hills and dense forests to the south-east of Dortmund.
A photographer needed to send a large photo collection to a printer that was 10
kilometres away. The total data volume was 4.5 gigabytes, which is about the size of
an average movie. He organised a race – between an internet upload and his horse.
He burnt his photos on to a DVD and gave his computer a twenty-minute head
start because he had to get the horse ready. The horse not only won the race, but,
after riding home and feeding the horse, the photographer found the internet
transmission was still uploading. [Wolfgang Munchau, Kaput].
