Aye, I stopped looking at that stuff at 14. Back in those days, high-quality beheading videos did not exist.

Or murdering your family.
Meant that as an addition to John's post.
I didn't seek it out it was on Liveleak.
There's your epitaph right there.
A mantis shrimp can swing its claw so fast it boils the water around it and creates a flash of light.
People having kids in their fifties isn't that unusual.
Probably safe to do it now her brother's croaked, too
I don't get what's going on in this thread.
Though that shrimp thing is pretty cool.
John seems to be talking about Janet Jackson having a baby at 50.
Earlier on today that shrimp post was about Pele's grandkid being older than his son and them both playing soccer. One of them for Santos iirc.
It was fucking tedious but it was definitely there.
I can't remember how hot it is exactly and I'm apparently too lazy to take the time I've typed this to open a new tab and Google it but the mantis shrimp's fireball punch gets the water up to thousands of degrees celsius, the mental little bastard.
It sounds like a dickhead.
"While living in Paris in the 1920s, Peirce "made a gift of a very big turtle to the woman who was the concierge of his building". The woman doted on the turtle and lavished care on it. A few days later Peirce substituted a somewhat larger turtle for the original one. This continued for some time, with larger and larger turtles being surreptitiously introduced into the woman's apartment. The concierge was beside herself with happiness and displayed her miraculous turtle to the entire neighborhood. Peirce then began to sneak in and replace the turtle with smaller and smaller ones, to her bewildered distress."

I found this mildly interesting.

Yeah, it's ace that
Carl Sagan has the best voice and a beautiful way of explaining this.
He is so fucking awesome, could watch him all day.
There are two threads asking posters about their weekend plans.
Jesus.
The one before the last looks like a happy fella though.

I fucking love deep sea fish. Did a presentation on the gulper eel in 2nd grade.
Stays with you forever, doesn't it? The gulper eel.
Not interesting, but seeing as we don't have a 'shit I never knew' thread this will do.
Both the fact that John Giles is Nobby Stiles' brother in law and Dermot Gallagher (the ref) is Irish are two things that escaped me until this week.

Quite a bit of a stir in Jersey.

Spent a good while last night reading about the Pitcairn Islands
Nine mutineers on the HMS Bounty in 1790 forced the rest of the crew overboard in the south Pacific, picked up a bunch of nearby Polynesian women, and settled on this island. Today there are about 50 people living there, descendants of that lot. Very strange place.
They must all be deformed as fuck.
I've read about that before. Isn't rape of women practically tradition and almost every bloke was charged not too long ago?
Is it twinned with Rotherham?
I can't remember which northern town/city it was (ended in 'LEHH' but don't think it was Burnley) but some girl spoke for a good fiften minutes about all the paedophiles that lives around here when she was growing up. I thought everything was happy up north?

The fictional town in The League of Gentlemen, Royston Vasey, is Roy 'Chubby' Brown's real name.

Well, yeah. Why do you think he played the mayor?
I've put off re-watching them again in case they're not as brilliant as I thought, but I caught up with Inside No. 9 recently (the episode about splitting the bill was the stand out) and I reckon I'll be fine.
It's great. The commentary track on the DVDs are fantastic and confusing. They were going to explain 'Cans of Can't' and then didn't. Wankers.
It would be odd to assume that the fictional town in a program was named after an actor who turned up for an episode about three years in. It's not mind blowing trivia, but it isn't made obvious by him playing the mayor.
On the topic of old things that may not hold up, I've been considering whizzing through Monkey Dust recently, but I fear it may be very much of its time. I remember thinking one of the 'Timmy' sketches was the bleakest thing I'd ever seen, so hopefully if I do jump in it's as brutal as I remember.
I just found out King James was pretty much openly gay and the reason for the King James Bible was to get the church off his back about it.

Rather sobering, to say the least.
Missed my entire block, the twats
They savaged mine with five of the fuckers.
