I just realised Robin Hood: Men in Tights and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves are two different films, and only one of them is a comedy.

Cervical can mean relating to the neck and the cervix!

Was reading about this amazing breakthrough in treating people with paralysis with non-invasive cervical stimulation. There was a video showing before and after of some women and then some men carrying out simple tasks with their hands, and showing the improvement after the treatment. I was like how the fuck have they stimulated a guy’s cervix? Do guys HAVE cervices?! I did not know that. Then I had a quick google of ‘cervix’.

When OJ Simpson was released, I read extensivly about his case, about his history in American Football etc. I must have read that his nickname was juice over 100 times.

It was only months later that I realised his nickname comes from OJ i.e. orange juice.

I have just learned that the plural of cervix is cervices. Not something you often talk about more than one of, tbf. ‘Morning ladies, how are your cervices today?’

As an extra, his offensive line (the big lads who blocked for him so he could be such a good runner) in the mid-70s were nicknamed the Electric Company, because they turned on the Juice.

it only just occurred to me that @1101010’s profile picture is HAL. I saw someone else using it as an avatar in some comments section and thought “NO WAY, IT’S OBVIOUSLY THEO” before realising that that isn’t yer man Theo’s actual face but the popular fictional existential computer from 2001

Just remembered why HAL is called HAL: initials were chosen as they are alphabetically one letter different from IBM

(I’ve read before that this is actually coincidental, but I call bullshit on that)

That’s a factoid, I’m afraid.

Just discovered the word factoid isn’t a Ned Flanders-style take on the word fact.

No it is coincide
