There are no statues of American actor Peter Falk in the United States, but there IS one in Budapest, Hungary. Weird.

On the statue thing...though I already knew this.

In Wellington, right outside the railway station, there is a statue of Gandhi. But there are no statues of Ernest Rutherford, Richard Pearce, or Edmund Hillary.

In the Joel Schumacher travesty Batman and Robin, Uma Thurman's costume is the only one without built-in nipples.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Alfred Hitchcock was knighted just a few months before his death in 1980. When asked by an interviewer why he thought it took so long for HRM to get round to knighting him, Hitchcock answered, ‘I suppose it was carelessness.’ This caused a minor uproar, with some people saying he was being disrespectful to the Queen and demanded that Hitchcock apologize.

His entire apology was this: ‘I’m terribly, terribly sorry that Her Majesty has gotten so terribly, terribly careless.’

An Oxpecker is an African bird which rides around on the backs of herbivorous animals, eating ticks, fly larvae and other parasitic insects. While this is beneficial to the animals, the bird will also peck holes in the animals' hides to drink their blood. I recently discovered the word "oxpecker" while playing PC Scrabble.
