    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    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.
