Justice League Movie (Nov 17th, 2017)

You want facts? Here are some facts


1. The longest time between two twins being born is 87 days.

2. The world's deepest postbox is in Susami Bay in Japan. It's 10 metres underwater.

3. In 2007, an American man named Corey Taylor tried to fake his own death in order to get out of his cell phone contract without paying a fee. It didn't work.

4. The oldest condoms ever found date back to the 1640s (they were found in a cesspit at Dudley Castle), and were made from animal and fish intestines.


6. Everyone has a unique tongue print, just like fingerprints.

7. Most Muppets are left-handed. (Because most Muppeteers are right-handed, so they operate the head with their favoured hand.)

9. It costs the U.S. Mint almost twice as much to mint each penny and nickel as the coins are actually worth. Taxpayers lost over $100 million in 2013 just through the coins being made.

10. Light doesn't necessarily travel at the speed of light. The slowest we've ever recorded light moving at is 38 mph.

11. Casu marzu is a Sardinian cheese that contains live maggots. The maggots can jump up to five inches out of cheese while you're eating it, so it's a good idea to shield it with your hand to stop them jumping into your eyes.

12. The loneliest creature on Earth is a whale who has been calling out for a mate for over two decades — but whose high-pitched voice is so different to other whales that they never respond.

13. The spikes on the end of a stegosaurus' tail are known among paleontologists as the "thagomizer" — a term coined by cartoonist Gary Larson in a 1982 Far Side drawing.

Those are some very intriguing new details...but what does it all mean?

27. The first American film to show a toilet being flushed on screen was Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho.

28. Melting glaciers and icebergs make a distinctive fizzing noise known as "bergy seltzer".

29. There is a glacier called "Blood Falls" in Antarctica that regularly pours out red liquid, making it look like the ice is bleeding. (It's actually oxidised salty water.)

30. In 2008 scientists discovered a new species of bacteria that lives in hairspray.

31. The top of the Eiffel Tower leans away from the sun, as the metal facing the sun heats up and expands. It can move as much as 7 inches.

34. The longest musical performance in history is currently taking place in the church of St. Burchardi in Halberstadt, Germany. The performance of John Cage's "Organ²/ASLSP (As Slow As Possible)" started on Sept. 5, 2001, and is set to finish in 2640. The last time the note changed was October 2013; the next change isn't due until 2020.

35. There's an opera house on the U.S.–Canada border where the stage is in one country and half the audience is in another.


37. The katzenklavier ("cat piano") was a musical instrument made out of cats. Designed by 17th-century German scholar Athanasius Kircher, it consisted of a row of caged cats with different voice pitches, who could be "played" by a keyboardist driving nails into their tails.

38. There is a single mega-colony of ants that spans three continents, covering much of Europe, the west coast of the U.S., and the west coast of Japan.

39. The largest snowflake ever recorded reportedly measured 15 inches across.

40. An epidemic of laughing that lasted almost a year broke out in Tanganyika (now Tanzania) in 1962. Several thousand people were affected, across several villages. It forced a school to close. It wasn't fun, though — other symptoms included crying, fainting, rashes, and pain.

41. The Romans used to clean and whiten their teeth with urine. Apparently it works. Please don't do it, though.

18. Experiments show that male rhesus macaque monkeys will pay to look at pictures of female rhesus macaques' bottoms.

20. The Dance Fever of 1518 was a month-long plague of inexplicable dancing in Strasbourg, in which hundreds of people danced for about a month for no apparent reason. Several of them danced themselves to death.

Jeez. We really do live in a world of wonders .

I agree--though lately I mainly wonder which of my posts will be deleted next.

You're with friends here Blackmask. This 'whale' is really you, isn't it?

are you really... my friend?

 

[Wor-Gar]

For lack of where to put this...

I give you DiFabio's Last Will and Testament (from 4-24 in the Last Jedi thread #3979)

When my inevitable banning comes and I'm banned from this forum forever, you guys better give me a funeral procession worthy of a king. I want an open casket, strippers, the works. I want A-dev, Jye, Wor-Gar and Prince to be my pall bearers. As far as my will is concerned, Evilface can have all my dollies. A-dev can get all my Terminator crap. Batfan can get my Batman garbage. Wor-Gar and Khev can fight over my prequel toys. Gaspar can get my SH figuarts junk, Kara can get my minimates. Riddick, my Batman Forever matryoshka dolls. Crows can have my gf. As for Jye, we already discussed what he gets in private.

And I only want good things said about me when I'm gone. Unless I stole and robbed from this community, killed somebody or spammed the forum with Jocasta Nu porn images, only positive things shall be said.

 

[EVILFACE]

I get his dollies

 

[GasparZizou]

Crows gets his GF

 

[Khev]

Wasn't any of us that did it

Darklord Dave banning someone from the position of an impartial administrator doesn't fit the manufactured narrative of "disagree with a mod, mod bans you" so naturally some folks are going to reject it.

 

[Khev]

Right.

I wish I could believe that Trashy, but someone (mod) had to complain to Dave. The guy barely logs on nowadays, he has no idea whats going on in these threads.

You really think you're in a place to speak for Dave? I'm not even speaking for him and I have *way* more information about what's going on than you.

 

[Darth Snoopy]

If Freaks want to petition Dave; let them. We can't stop them and I wouldn't be inclined to stop them even if I could.

Mainly because maybe Dave will set the record straight, and I hope he does, publicly.

What's this got to do with justice league lmao

Guess that's the reason for the 3 month reshoots

 

[YoNoSe]

Reshoots are so hot right now.

 

[Darth Snoopy]

Okay, there's been enough venting in this thread.

Respect the Forum Staff
We provide a service in our free time to keep the forums running efficiently. We are all volunteers. Feedback is welcome in Forum Questions area, this is also the place to request assistance with forum software issues. If a member feels an infraction or ban is unwarranted that member can appeal to the Administrator. However the Administrator is not likely to overturn a moderators decision.

This thread isn't the place to complain. IMO it has gone on long enough; now it's time to take any grievances you may have to correct place. If any of you are serious about contacting Darklord Dave then by all means do so by either private messaging him or post a new thread in the Forum Questions which is the appropriate area.

Also from our CoC in case you didn't know:

Thread Drifting/Steering

Please keep discussions on topic.

Let's now please stick to the topic of the thread which is the upcoming Justice League movie.

All post not discussing this movie will be deleted from here on out.

 

[Darklord Dave]

As stated - please keep on topic for the thread.

if you have questions, complaints or whatever - take it to PM. I do review complaints against members rather than taking mods at face value. And it may not be one incident, but a long term trend of disruptive behaviour that gets someone banned. Also coming back from a temporary ban and not modifying one's behaviour can lead to a permaban. But this thread is not for discussing that.
