In 1978, Francis Bucholz, bassist for the Scorpions, founded a public address and stage lighting company, partly as a way to provide employment for the Scorpions' roadies when the band wasn't touring.

Well, look on the bright side - half your crap is dishwasher safe!

So, where does this place Robotnik? Second?
Way down the list, I reckon. Armstrong was probably second, which would make him Number 2 at Number 1.

I've long known that trees can split in extreme cold, caused by the sap freezing and expanding while the wood contracts. What I didn't know is that the Sioux and Cree natives called the first new moon of the new year, 'the moon of the cold exploding trees'.
Say what you will about indigenous Americans, but they're some descriptive motherfuckers.

The distracted driver who struck (and very nearly killed) author Stephen King in 1999 was found dead of a fentanyl overdose on 21 September the following year. Which just happened to be King’s 53rd birthday.

There’s a geologic formation in Antarctica known as ‘Blood Falls.’ Periodically, iron oxide-tainted hypersaline water emerges from fissures in Taylor Glacier.
