Actor/comedian Craig Charles - best known as Dave Lister in Red Dwarf - was once falsely accused of rape. He was denied bail for three and a half months, during which he was stabbed by another inmate. At trial, he was cleared of all charges. The woman who accused him later admitted that she made the whole thing up.

During the development of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, Jar Jar Binks was occasionally drawn with a pet/sidekick called a blarth.

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"

A foreigner in Thailand who is of Western ancestry; one who comes to Thailand from a Western country.

Here's a fun exercise for you: count how many times the term is used in the movie The Murderer (2023).

The infamous "Mozart Effect" seems to have some basis in reality, but its real world applications (both in situations where it can help and in the actual pieces that can be used) are a lot more restrictive.

Situations where it could help: apparently, it can decrease seizures in people with epilepsy. That's about it and even that's up in the air.

Pieces that can work: Apparently, only three pieces actually work for this purpose, and one of them wasn't even written by Mozart.










Full disclosure: I was inspired to look this up after watching The Incredibles for the first time in donkeys and realising that, apparently, a babysitter's decision to play a Mozart CD (one that doesn't seem to include either of the two Mozart pieces, let alone the Yanni one) is enough to awaken Jack-Jack's latent superpowers.

This is what the Ouroborous looks like in real life:





Also, it can successfully eat half of its own length. And if Huggy Bear were still around, he’d probably be jizzing his pants at the thought of that.

Let's be fair, just because the huggster was a giant cock, does not mean that it had one, or that it even worked.
