Learnding!

Hey, kids! It's that time of year again where I learn many amazing facts, thanks to classes! That's right, it's finals time, where I screw around on the Internet instead of studying!

Thanks to my endless web browsing, in the last couple of weeks I've learned/been reminded of gems such as:

  • Pac-man technically ends at level 256, due to a glitch in the game.
  • Australia's Naughtiest Home Videos was actually canceled in the middle of its pilot episode when the network owner called in and told them to "get that shit off the air.
    • "In most states, however, the last clip reported seen on the show before it got pulled was of a child reaching for a kangaroo's genitals."
  • From several scenes filmed entirely in Wookie-speak to segments that were just copied directly from the original movie and poorly re-dubbed, the Star Wars Holiday Special is possibly the worst moment in TV history.
    • Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia) was apparently so coked out during the filming of the Star Wars Holiday Special that she doesn't actually remember doing it.
  • People don't really think before naming their companies.
  • The guy behind such video game legends as Donkey Kong and the entire Mario and Zelda series is so crazy that there is only one guy who can understand what he says.
  • Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is a complete and utter asshole (Especially see paragraph 8). He is also a hypocrite.
Argh, it seems that my endless note-taking has even seeped into my blog-writing. Back to work, I suppose.
