In the first episode, the passengers and crew of the Minnow are listening to a news report about their accident on the radio and all their names are read out by the news announcer. The Skipper is Captain Jonas Grumby, and the Professor's name was Roy Hinkley. There actual names were never spoken on the show again.
Gilligan's first name, according to Sherwood Schwartz, was 'Willy'. Willy Gilligan - there's a name to conjure with!

Apparently, when recording songs for musicals, Gene Kelly actually had two singers who helped him record, one covering the low notes, the other covering the high notes, and Gene himself in the middle, covering the one octave that was actually in his range. Then again, maybe that was just in his later years, like Young Girls of Rochefort era.

Some green books from the Victorian age are poisonous, due to the arsenic used in the dye. That's why I never eat a green book. It might be dangerous to handle, too.

1) Apparently, Adult Swim has been really shitty to the people who made it what it is today.
2) On a slightly lighter note, you can apparently have a custom T-shirt, you can apparently have a dirt-cheap T-shirt, and you can apparently have a T-shirt that can go through the normal washer/dryer cycle, but you can’t have one that’s all three.

Just discovered that Nebraska has a recognized a new (to me) political party, Legal Marijuana NOW. Wiki tells me that "In 2022, Legal Marijuana NOW Party ran more candidates for Nebraska statewide offices than the Democratic Party recruited."

Looked it up and am disappointed.
