The inside of an Etch-a-Sketch is mostly aluminum dust that forms a coating on the underside of the screen, and a metal pin that scrapes the dust away when you turn the knobs.

The Fairly Oddparents episode "Twistory" was banned from airing for nearly decade due to excessive British stereotypes (everyone had bad teeth, over-the-top accents.). Fairly Oddparents has always had big issues with stereotypes (especially British ones) but most fans agree that this episode was the worst about it. The episode recently started to air again, however.


no surprise there. i specifically remember a bit with french characters exclaiming" we surrender" after being doused with water, or something.

the arrangement of leaves on a plant is phyllotaxy.

Ya, Hartman seems to have it out for foreign nations. In another episode a character was a walking stereotype, actually more like a parody of a stereotype. In this case the British. He sipped tea ever few seconds, talked in the most over-the-top accent, had crooked yellow teeth, British flags all over his clothes and constantly said things like "We Brits love X, they remind us of the hunt!" And at the end of the episode he flys away with an umbrella while saying something along the lines of "Big Ben, Cheereo, Fish and Chips and whatnot".

Needless to say, I'm not a fan of that episode.

In the Toy Story films, Andy didn't have a father because when the first one was made, human characters were too expensive to animate in CGI.

When you eat a pineapple, it eats you back. Pineapples are the only known carriers of Bromelain, an enzyme that breaks down proteins. Since your body is made of proteins, the pineapples you eat are also trying to digest you. That’s why a fresh pineapple can turn your tongue into a sore piece of sandpaper.

maybe he thinks kids find it funny. i was indifferent when i watched it as a kid, but i could never go back to that nowadays.

makes me wonder if foreign cartoons do that kind of stuff to the americans. :P i specifically remember "the hunt"...never understood what it meant.

obscure fact: individuals of the phylum rhodophyta store their food as floridean starch.

The above can be generalized thus,

∀x (xP ∨ ¬xP) where P stands for any property.

However, since existence is not a property, we cannot legitimately say,

∀x (∃x ∨ ¬∃x) because, simply, ∀x [(x = y) ∨ (x ≠ y)].

Your sense of touch is so accurate that if your fingers were as big as Earth, they could detect the difference between houses and cars.
