    TIL Mr. Rogers told the U.S. Supreme Court during the attempt to ban VCRs that he sided with the VCR, as it helped families to watch his show together. Supreme Court said his testimony was a contributing factor which allowed VCRs.

    What would you say is proper bunch size when shopping?
    Sometimes I buy 3 or 4 green bananas, plus 4 to 6 or 8 perfectly "just under ripe" bananas when shopping.

    TIL that Steven Spielberg wanted to direct a James Bond film but was turned down by Eon Productions. When he told this to George Lucas, Lucas said he had a film that was just like it but even better. The story was about an archaeologist named Indiana.

    That there are some vile, nasty, and thoughtless people here. Woo this.

    I found that out quite a while ago, unfortunately.
    But I’ve also found out there are some really amazing people here, and they outweigh the rest. :smile:

    TIL I’m going to have to rewatch the entire first season of Westworld now. Struggle: real.

    Is it a really good show or you committed to watching it and got so sucked in that there’s no turning back (like Lost)?

    I love the show, but it’s so dark that it’s kind of hard to watch at times, especially in long stretches. They’re building on clues dropped the first season, so I feel the need to study!

    Confession: I’ve never seen Lost!

    Lost was a huge let down at the end. But I was committed and at the end felt like I got robbed. I’m gonna check out Westworld when I have some time. Thanks

    Right there with you. Ain't nobody got time for that :disappointed:

    TIL that the odds of someone getting bitten by a shark AND a bear AND a snake are 893 quadrillion : 1. The fact that it happened to a 20-year-old blows my mind.
