Pointless Facts

Thinking about it, The Who were more an album band than a singles band. BTW, easily my favorite band.

 

Tommy is about the only non-Beatles album that ranks near the top of my list of best albums of all time.

I was a huge Who fan in high school and college. One of my favorite memories was SIU, Halloween, someone playing Baba O'Reilly at full volume outside a dorm building. About 200 people singing along in between chugs of Bush beer. OK, the beer sucked, but the rest of the moment was cool.

I remember doing this in elementary school for a science project.

 

The average human farts about 6-16 times per day. Just as I'm typing this, I have just added to the theory.

Obviously this doesn't apply to women, who -- in my world -- neither fart or crap.

 

I refuse to acknowledge such events.

I just hold them all in and have one big super fart when I get off work.

The first time I learned that fact was while reading a story by Stephen King.

 

Some pointless Stephen King facts:

 

His first published novel was Carrie.

 

He wrote the first book in his 7-book Dark Tower series in 1982. The last one came out 22 years later in 2004.

 

*spoiler alert below*

 

 

 

 

 

The first line of the first book and the last line of the last book are the same:

 

"The man in black fled across the desert and the gunslinger followed."

I would bet that it's possible to find a finite unit of time where there is actually no raindrop hitting the ground anywhere on earth. You just have to subdivide the units of time far enough.

Some of us have annoyingly strong allergies to those f***ing things. You get the right cleaning system and you can prevent that buildup, but god I hate those little f***ers.

Is one of Soren Kierkegaard's, the father of Existentialism, best works.

 

Kierke (as I like to call him) was one of the first major European writers to embrace writing in the native tongue and not latin. In fact, he had to get permission to write his dissertation in Danish.

PRECIPITATION EQUALS EVAPORATION All of the precipitation that falls originated as water vapor that was evaporated from the surface of the Earth. It is always raining somewhere on the Earth, just as evaporation is always occurring over most of the Earth's surface. At any given time, precipitation covers only about 2% to 5% of the surface of the Earth, while evaporation is occurring over the remaining 95% to 98% of the Earth. Thus, water vapor gets "concentrated" into relatively small rain systems that turn this vapor into precipitation.
