    I don't even know who Daniel Tosh is!

    DYK that Steven Speilberg originally wanted to use m&m's in the movie E.T., but they said no after they weren't allowed to see the final script?

    I guess I did know that about ice cubes; I just never really thought about it.

    No I did not know that about Tea leaves.

    Did you know that, despite it's size, all of China is in one time zone?

    No I did not know that...

    Did you know that RDJ refused to play in the Avenger's AOU, until all of his cast mates got an increase in pay like he did...?

    Yes I did, reddit taught me that.

    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.
  • I remember hearing that for some reason. So yes.

    Did you know that Saskatchewan (Regina is the capital) does not participate in Daylight Savings time?
  • No, and that seemed so odd I looked it up and learned that, as per the government, there is only one time zone used (Beijing standard time) but geographically it spans 5 time zones. Wow, would that ever be a nuisance for everyone not in Beijing.

    Did you know that the province of Newfoundland and Labrador keeps a time zone that is 3.5 hours less than GMT (not 3, not 4, but 3.5).

    I did not know that. Very strange.

    Did you know that redheads don't go grey? Their hair just fades to lesser shades of red.

    No, but there is also a place near India that has the same thing...maybe they got together to split that hour...

    Do you get jet lag?

    Did you know that while galloping ( not cantering or loping- which is THE SAME thing!!) a horse maintains .000152 seconds of hang time? ( not a single hoof on the ground). And..... that proving this was how motion pictures got started?

    No.

    Did you know society originally rejected twister as a game. It was called sex in a box. Premonitions about naked twister I guess.

    No, but it doesn't surprise me.

    Did you know that Michael J. Fox inserted the "J" into his name to distinguish himself from actor Michael Fox, because the Screen Actors Guild cannot have two actors with the same name on their books?
  • I remember him saying that his middle initial was 'A' but that he thought 'J' sounded better. I didn't know that about the Screen Actors Guild.

    Did you know that another actor was cast as and played Marty McFly for the first 4 weeks before the director determined he had been miscast? It cost an extra $3 million to start the film over with Michael J. Fox.

    No, and that does not sound hopeful for us insomniacs.

    (i did hear a similar story about Julia Roberts...her real name is Julie)

    Did you know that Soap Lake (in Washington State) has the highest diverse mineral content than any other body of water on the planet? (you actually 'float' in the water)
