    Most of the laugh tracks that you hear in TV shows today were recorded in the 1950's. So,essentially, you're hearing dead people laugh.

    The Michael Myers mask (Halloween) was originally based on a William Shatner mask (Captain Kirk in Star Trek TV series in the 70s) and the costume designers enlarged the eye holes and spray painted it white to make it scarier!

    The saying "don't throw out the baby with the bath water" comes from back in the olden days. Village people would only bathe once a year. Each family would bathe in the same tub starting with eldest and all thew ay down to youngest. By the time the baby got to bathe, the water was black.

    Hence, don't throw out the baby with the bath water.

    Celery has negative calories! It takes more calories to digest a piece of celery than the celery has in it to begin with. (Mmm, diet food.)

    Speaking of cats--their whiskers are exactly the same width as their bodies, so if a cat can walk into a tight spot without it's whiskers touching the edges, it can get it's body through the same span.
