Ingrid E. Newkirk, President of PETA is also the majority stockholder in Tyson Foods, which is the largest producer of Broiling Chickens in the United States. They produce over 2 billion chickens per year. Newkirk supports PETA simply because its activities keep interest focused on animal-based foods, which translates into greater publicity for her company.

the reason why publisher's clearinghouse is still in business is because they serve as a collection service for old people dna -- the reason why the glue on the little stamps they have you lick and include in your order is that it functions as a preservative, so that if an old person ever goes missing and they issue a grey alert, the dna on file from their address can be retrieved in the event that a body is found.

it doesn't always work, but it can provide some closure for families when it does.

jim davis used to work for the cia -- in the early 80s, the first panel of his daily garfield strips contained code phrases for covert agents throughout the world.

this is why they were never really that funny, and also why you can't find any of the old, old strips anymore.

area 51 is real, but it's not actually in the deserts of nevada. the real area 51 can be found in branson, missouri, as a ripley's believe-it-or-not museum.

the off-the-record reasoning behind it was explained like this: you put dangerous artifacts with a bunch of razor wire and armed guards, people are going to hurt themselves trying to get it. you put a dangerous artifact in a room full of paper mache fakes and sell some funnel cakes on the side, nobody's going to bother it because who is going to notice a genuine article in a forest of fakes?

Hillary Clinton suffered a stroke some years back which resulted in minor brain damage. She is mostly recovered, but still has problems with short term memory. Her assistant basically runs her life, makes most of her daily decisions, and basically dotes on her.

The day that black people were allowed in the Mormon Tabernacle for the first time ever, Mitt Romney was so overcome with outrage and grief that he could not drive himself home and so he sat and wept in his car. This was 1978. He has told this story in public, to OG Mormons for cred.

Donald Trump's father got Alzheimer's long before the world knew about it. In his 50s or earlier, rather than his 70s-80s. It took a while for people to piece it all together from his behavior. It's alternately possible it was some sort of heavy metal poisoning. Either way, he was not very reliable, and, as a result, Donald and his siblings were raised mostly by his father's business partners. They hushed the whole thing up in order to help preserve his legacy.

Portia africana is a jumping spider native to western and central Africa. It has an incredibly advanced nervous system which allows members of its species to form social, political, and even economic systems on par with those of chimpanzees. In spring 2015, two of these spiders were observed to be "painting" on the walls of their containment unit using dirt and their own saliva. Further laser-aided examination revealed that these "drawings" shared the likeness of human beings. They are the first members of the Arachnid class of organisms to be considered for personhood status by any major country (Egypt).

Human male semen is very good for coating the back of a throat. It's salty nature and waterproof properties help fight many a throat infection and even fights off bacteria that causes halitosis. These same properties are also excellent for warm facials as spreading the semen helps expand open pores in the face and prevent acne, old aging, and lupus.

He's a known gamer in Hollywood circles, which is part of the reason he doesn't act that much, anymore.

A fun fact is that he bought multiple lifetime packs for Star Trek Online in case he could crew an entire ship with his own custom characters and pumped hundred of dollars into it a month. In an interview with Star Trek Magazine, he hoped to eventually find his character from Voyager in the game at some point.

Oh, yeah, because your teeth gradually build up a patina-like shell thanks to constantly being exposed to the same substances as a defense. A sudden change is like pitting two incompatible pokemon against one another or something.

the late bob stewart was a creative genius when it came to game shows, but a lot of what motivated him was his love of psychology, with the theories of carl jung holding a particular fascination.

as a matter of fact, he created the $100,000 pyramid as a way to test how a person can translate the individual experience of the personal unconscious to the shared experiences of the collective unconscious and back again. we know most of the things bob stewart asked us to describe, but how can we describe them in such a way that it is recognizable to a complete stranger.

the prize money was just a bit of game theory thrown in to ensure that participants tried their best in stewart's much publicized experiments.

There is a startling amount of evidence suggesting that Denis Leary murdered comedian Greg Giraldo. (They'd had a long standing grudge spanning most of the 2000-2010 decade after Leary's appearance on Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn). However, no judges came forward to hear the case from Giraldo's estate. It is also worth mentioning that Rupert Murdoch is Leary's uncle once removed.

R. Budd Dwyer had left a life of hate behind him and had done well for himself in Pennsylvanian politics. Few people remembered the days that he was a member of a small KKK group in southern PA in the late 50s and early 60s. Few speak about it today, but one of his former klan buddies received a call from Budd for the first time in over 20 years on the night of January 21, 1987. Budd was complaining about the whites at the rock and roll hall of fame inducting Muddy earlier that day and continued to rant on for about 15 minutes about white men and mud races mixing and living together. His friend tried to calm him down by telling him they were foolish in their youth and that he didn't think that way. It didn't help as the next day R Budd Dwyer would take his life on live television as he did not want to live in an America where this was acceptable.
