Okay, lets see how this goes. I'll start. Pretty simple. I'll start by stating something I know or just found out and the next poster tells me whether or not they knew it and if they care at all or find it interesting or not. And then they post their own "Did you know" question. Can be anything at all. I'll start.

Did you know that Joaquin Phoenix was originally offered the role of Derek Vinyard in American History X, but turned it down because he found the material distasteful and passed?

    Did not know that.

    Did you know that Bill Walton is only 62 years old? That guy looked 62 years old 20 years ago! Blew my mind when I found that out recently.

    I did not know that, maybe because I have no idea who Bill Walton is.

    Did you know that Vancouver BC is now apparently the "supercar capital of North America", with more Lamborhinis, Ferraris, Porsches and other luxury cars per capita than LA, the former supercar capital?

    No I did not even though I grew up watching him.

    Did you know Zerox developed most of the stuff we use on computers (monitor, mouse and more) but didn't think computers would become popular (it was the 1970's) and didn't patent them. Woz stole the ideas for the first apple PC's.

    First and last day as a CNA And National Health in Join Mo., I walked in on it.. It's caused by being severely constipated.. You either get impacted or suffer reverse regurgitation..

    When stationed in North Carolina for a summer I witnessed it on a daily basis. One of my barrack mates would think it was funny to ring his socks out on the floor after PT. He had to have lost a pint per day. It was sick, disgusting yet totally awesome.

    I did not know that, but it's not surprising.

    Did you know that Johnny Guitar is also the title of a 1954 western/drama starring Joan Crawford?
