You could have phrased the last bit better. The hole is generally made on the abdomen and not through the navel.

I'm probably over sensitive, but hate it being described as "s**t*ing in a bag".

While appearing on Late Night with Conan O'Brien on November 15, 2006,[6] Gass claimed to have been the youngest graduate of the Juilliard School of Music with a degree in classical guitar studies at the age of 13. Juilliard did not have a guitar program in 1973, but began its graduate level guitar program in 1989 under Sharon Isbin, and its undergraduate program in 2007. Earlier, in an article in the Sunday Times on October 29, 2006, Black stated that Gass was the youngest graduate of Juilliard.[7] On May 13, 2008, Gass was a phone-in guest on the Adam Carolla Show. When Adam Carolla asked him "... And did you go to Juilliard?" Kyle replied "I didn't. I—you know, I made that up as a joke," he continued, "and I thought it would be hilarious, and then I've been hearing about it ever since. Apologies to Juilliard."[8] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyle_Gass & @Dogfaceboy 1980 for making me curious.

The way pineapples grow. Was totally drunk on a Kenny Cooler in a Texas Roadhouse when I googled it. Never been able to forget it.

The sound when you slap your fingers is not made by your fingers but by the middle finger and the palm

I will say, when I try to keep my middle finger up and not hitting my palm, the sound made is far less distinct that it is normally.

Ok, I really enjoy articles like that but I would absolutely love to see some sources to support the claims. Sure, I can google my butt off but sometimes it's so vague or so abbreviated, it's pretty frustrating.

I posted this one before but it's still pretty interesting. Longtime bandmate Derek St. Holmes has been shot by Ted Nugent. TWICE!

Here's my random fact I learned yesterday: Andre the Giant holds the world record for the largest number of beers consumed in a single sitting. These were standard 12-ounce bottles of beer, nothing fancy, but during a six-hour period Andre drank 119 of them. https://drunkard.com/10_06_andre_giant/

Very enjoyable! Here's one - more people have walked on the moon (12) than scored a run off Mariano Rivera in the post season (11 in 96 games)

Jaya 1 year ago

Nice one! The fun thing is that you can do this with many things. "More people have walked on the moon, than have been on holiday with my brother" "More people have walked on the moon than have been at today's party" "More people have walked on the moon than have been born to my mother" "More men have been on the moon than have been inside of my vagina", lol. Okay, that one I actually feel sad about, lol.
