Oh, bugger. If I slip you a quid, would you just move along and pretend you didn't see that? There's a good chap.

Is Cyrano Jones still cleaning up Deep Space Station K-7?
Not mant people know this, but the uncle of the actress who played Lal, played the bartender in The Trouble With Tribbles!

There's not many people know this (I didn't until I checked out the special features on the Blackadder DVD) but Rowan Atkinson is actually a qualified electrical engineer. Combined with Graham Chapman's M.D. and John Cleese's legal education, you could have quite an intellectually formidable team of British comedians.

There's not many people know this, but the book was actually called "Beezus and Ramona". How wild is that? The resulting confusion is probably the only reason why I wasn't cast for either part despite auditioning for both.

There's not many people know this, but the leader at Worf's Klingon Bar Mitzvah was played by John Tesh. I bring this up to prove I'm a bigger Star Trek dork than you, and also to gripe about how they never gave me that part as Counselor Troi's rich uncle who also gets to make out with her in every scene for some

There's not many people know this, but the most likely person to be a Batman villain is David Bowie, who's worked with Nolan before. I mean, he's always been a bit of an eccentric bugger, and he hasn't been doing much in the way of recording lately. I think he might've finally gone over the edge and started plotting

There's not many people know this, but you can use SurfTheChannel to find 'em on MegaVideo or Chinese YouTube or some-such. Or you can go the torrent route, if you want 'em all with Dutch subtitles. That's how I learned the language! Course, now all my vocabulary is centered on reversing the polarity on the main

There's not many people know this, but Pierre Boulle, author of Planet of the Apes, also received a best adapted screenplay Oscar for a script he didn't even write- the actual authors of the script for The Bridge On the River Kwai (adapted from Boulle's The Bridge Over the River Kwai) were blacklisted as suspected

There's not many people know this, but Gates McFadden also did the choreography for the movie "Labyrinth." It threw me off for a second when I was watching the special features on my DVD, because she's credited as Cheryl McFadden, and I thought, "What's all this? She's got a twin sister? Blimey, I ought to get both of

And there's not many people know this, but the funnny thing about "Friends" in relation to remakes of British TV shows is that Craig Bierko was initially offered the role of Joey on "Friends," but was convinced by his agent to turn it down and play Dave Lister in the American Red Dwarf. Also, Terry Farrell is rather

There's not many people know this, but I believe she said "again" to the pig as well, despite what Donna says above. I was waiting for Marshall to freak out, as if this was news to 'im, but then bloody Sean Connery grabbed the remote, shouting someting about "Land Before Time" being on on HBO Family. I don't even know

There's not many people know this, but an early draft of Star Trek: Generations had Guinan explaining to Picard, "Being inside the Nexus was like being inside joy. Like it was a pair of pants I had just pissed in, and for a second I thought it was all warm and nice, until I realized what was going on and that it was

There's not many people know this, but the Hanson brothers weren't actually named Hanson- they weren't even brothers! They chose the band name because of their shared love of the movie "Slapshot!" but their real last names (in order of their respective IQ's) were Schnittman, Calloway, and Quakenbush.

It doesn't matter what order it's posted in, it doesn't mean it's not true. It's the damndest thing I ever sawr.

Funny thing about Yankees players
There's not many people know this, but Mark Teixiera scratches his balls every time he takes the first pitch for a strike. Watch him, you'll see I'm right.

You might think that Harding was America's worst president, but you'd be wrong- it's James Buchanan! Also, I'll tell you sumthing most people don't know- Warren G. Harding, the 29th president, died in his 29th month in office.

There's Not Many People Know This
There's not many people know this, but the skateboarding man in "Cop and a Half" was played by professional skateboarder Andrew Reynolds, perhaps better known to you young lads as the best character to use from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. He got the cameo… from his uncle Burt Reynolds!
