Many believe it was the greatest gathering of 60's musicians and is still thought to be the greatest live concert ever staged.

The last act was Jimi Hendrix, here's a video of him playing to the aftermath of Woodstock. Check out the people trying to find shoes!

Not true! Pigs have sex for pleasure and can sustain orgasms for up to half an hour. Also, some other primates do as well. They're animals! *rawr*

Killer whales are actually a species of dolphin and they are very, very smart, especially in hunting strategies.

Why is the nickname for Kansas the Sunflower State?
Inspired by this, George Morehouse filed legislation to make the Sunflower the state's official floral emblem. In 1903, the wild Sunflower became the official state flower of Kansas. (Interestingly, less than a decade earlier, lawmakers had unsuccessfully called for the eradication of the “noxious weed.”)Dec 10, 2015

Hoping if there really is such a thing as reincarnation, that I come back as a pig.

Why not come back as a Hyena? except for that childbirth thing....



Female hyenas wear the pants in the family. They're bigger and stronger than the males. And definitely much more aggressive. Heck, they even got balls. Really.

A female hyena has a pseudopenis, basically an enlarged clitoris, that they can erect at will. To mate, the meeker male has to insert his penis into her pseudopenis. That's difficult for the males, but still nothing compared to the female having to give birth through a penis!

Whoopi Goldberg made the best hyena!

Lion King Trivia!


HIDDEN MICKEY: (at around 46 mins) One of the bugs that Timon pulls out of a knothole during Hakuna Matata is wearing Mickey Mouse ears. When Mufasa tells Simba about the Great Kings of the Past if you look at the stars in the wide shot you can see Mickey Mouse.

And just for my useless information, the organizers of Woodstock tried to get Roy Rogers to sing "Happy Trails" after Jimi's set. He declined.

Oh, well-The reason natural gas has a rotten egg smell is that the smell (hydrogen sulfide) is added. In 1937 a school in oil-booming New London, Texas developed a gas leak. Gas filled the walls of the school but it had no scent. A shop teacher threw a switch, the school blew up, and 300+ students and teachers died. Now that smell alerts us to leaks.
