As the series' storyline progressed, it documented Louie's enlisting the assistance of an inept ferret hit man, who tries to kill the frogs by dismantling and dropping the Budweiser neon sign into the swamp water, thus electrocuting them. Although this assassination attempt failed, it resulted in Weis developing post-electroshock muscular irregularity. Louie briefly replaced Weis in the Bud-Weis-Er cheer, but ended up getting all of them fired, due to Louie's inability to just follow the script. The other frogs in return gave him a literal tongue-lashing and revealed to Louie that they could speak with a complete vocabulary and that they knew all along about his plot against them. These three frogs then began a new lifestyle as flashy tap-dancing and Fred Astaire-mimicking acts on Broadway.

In 2004 he was found not guilty of indecent assault against a seven-year-old girl. Though he did admit that he was naked while the girl tickled him and while they played hide-and-seek, during the court case he also claimed to own only one pair of tight-fitting green satin underpants that have never been washed as he needs them to 'always be ready for use', at one point Horan produced the pants from his pocket to show the jury.[2]

He was arrested and spent some time in jail in Germany in 2006 when police found out about his plans to stage a Pro-Nazi demonstration (which included a poster he made praising Adolf Hitler).[3]

He went on to appear on Britain's Got Talent in May 2009. He danced a soft jig on the show, received a standing ovation by the audience and was put through to the second round.[4] He did not make the live semi-finals.[5]

In 2017 he showed his support outside court for disgraced entertainer Rolf Harris.[6]

I thought echidna came from the Greek ekhidna which means viper?
i made the mistake of looking this up a few years ago. the truth is very complicated and stupid. ekhinos is the greek word for both sea urchin and hedgehog and was maybe derived from ekhis which means snake (ekhidna does specifically mean viper) because the hedgehog's spikes were seen as reptilian? or it was thought to eat snakes? nobody knows what the actual connection is and sometimes it's traced back to proto-indo-european words with the same bewlidering relationship which still doesn't explain anything. the animal echidna might have been named by mistake through confusion with ekhinos or deliberately after the viper-woman echidna of greek mythology because it's a mammal that lays eggs, just like a woman with the body of a snake...? none of it makes any goddamn sense and we'll never know why all this junk is linguistically smashed together like this.

In Japan, if a baby is determined to have been born alive, the mother is investigated on charges of homicide and abandonment of a corpse. However, if the dead baby is proven to have been stillborn, the mother is investigated on a charge of abandonment. If the assailant is discovered, she is rarely sentenced because she is considered to have been in a mentally unusual situation during and after the pregnancy. The grounds for this judgment has a historical precedent.[1]

The war was fought between the Rajah of Vizianagaram, Vijayaramaraju aided by the Bussy, the then French General and the Rajah of Bobbili. During the battle the Bobbili fort was totally destroyed and many Bobbili soldiers died. There is still a street named after Bussy in Yanam.

In response to those corporations that put pressure on developers to move away from copyleft licenses in favour of permissive ones, some developers have coined the term "cuck license"[34][failed verification][35][unreliable source?] (precisely in analogy to being cuckolded),[33][This quote needs a citation] as they perceive that corporations want to benefit from collaborative work and privatize profits without giving anything back.

Most women are shown being sexually harassed by gentlemen, this is possibly due to women back in the day were treated as "objects" and men were superior towards them (which resulted of Yan's transfiguration from the Governor's scientists).

In the past, there was a Texaco floating gas station permanently anchored in line with the gun. On Monday May 18, 1964, someone was able to toss rocks from the beach below into the barrel which then perforated the 'O' in the large illuminated sign above the barge.[3][4] The barge was moved slightly after that event.

The nuts that were found in the ocean and on the beaches no longer had a husk, and resembled the dismembered lower part of a woman's body, including the buttocks. This association is reflected in one of the plant's archaic botanical names, Lodoicea callipyge Comm. ex J. St.-Hil., in which callipyge is from the Greek words meaning "beautiful rump". Historically these floating "beautiful rumps" were collected and sold for a fortune in Arabia and in Europe.

Emory oak health and habitat have been challenged in 2020, none more so than at Oak Flat, Arizona in the Tonto National Forest. The Resolution Copper mining company is planning to clear-cut the best remaining old-growth Emory oak forest in the state at this location in preparation for a destructive copper mine. Although the area at Oak Flat is protected since President Eisenhower proclaimed that it should never be mined in the 1950s, the Resolution Copper company persuaded Arizona politicians to give this federal land to them to mine copper. The oak grove at Oak Flat can never be replaced. In other areas of the Southwest, Resolution Copper is currently trying to drum up some good PR by spending money on caretaking unrelated oaks to make up for the destruction of the oak forest at Oak Flat.
