Cheap Thrills

to further my pursuit of needlessly consuming large ammounts of bandwidth for no apparent reason
here's a few tidbits of trivia for ya .
Months that begin on a Sunday will always have a
"Friday the 13th."
All of the clocks in the movie "Pulp Fiction" are
stuck on 4:20.
111,111,111 x 111,111,111
=12,345,678,987,654,321
The cruise liner, Queen Elizabeth II,
moves only six inches for each
gallon of diesel that it burns.
.The nursery rhyme
Ring Around the Rosey is a rhyme
about the plague. Infected people
with the plague would get red circular
sores ("Ring around the rosey..."),
these sores would smell very badly so
common folks would put flowers on
their bodies somewhere
(inconspicuously),
so that it would cover the smell of
the sores ("...a pocket full of
posies..."), People who died from the
plague would be burned so as to
reduce the possible spread of the disease
("...ashes, ashes, we all fall down!")
There's no Betty Rubble in Flintstones Chewable
Vitamins.
The airplane Buddy Holly died in was the "American
Pie." (Thus the name of the Don McLean song.)
Nutmeg is extremely poisonous if injected
intravenously.
If you have three quarters, four dimes, and four
pennies, you have$1.19; You also have the largest
amount of money in coins without being able to make
change
for a dollar.
