It didn't hit me until a couple months ago that the name of Mel Brooks' character in Spaceballs, Skroob, is an anagram of "Brooks". I had just assumed it was a play on "screwball".

For some inexplicable reason, memories of those old weird Doom novels floated into my head today, and in a case of "now I know what this means", I just realized that those book's canon, the Doom enemies are literary critics.

I was looking at something in the fridge to see when it went out of date and it was Oct' 17 and I thought man "they should have made October the eight month" then I realised that the it's part of a sequence of months like that. September, October, November, December. I assume this is something everyone else realised when they were six. I googled it to make sure and I am correct and the reason their names don't match their number is because the Roman calendar has a weird history. In this case it used to start on Martius(March) named after Mars and later January and February were added to the start throwing everything off.

Yeah the Roman calendar had a weird history, it's come up in this thread before:Snowglobe of Doom posted:'December' is absolutely the wrong name for the 12th month of the year, it translates to "10th month". Julius frickin' Caesar decided to gently caress around with the Roman calendar which originally only had 10 months but instead of inventing a new 11th and 12th month he added two extra months at the start of the year which meant that pretty much all of the other month names were wrong. Quintilis (5th month) and Sextilis (6th month) would have become the new 7th and 8th months except Caesar decided to rename them after himself and his buddy Augustus.

Also, Gaius Julius Caesar may have proposed the Julian calendar fixes but he almost certainly didn't invent them. Not to slander him, dude was doing plenty of other poo poo, but astronomer extraordinaire he was not.

Not to slander him, dude was doing plenty of other poo poo, but astronomer extraordinaire he was not. True enough! Here's another Calendar Fun Fact: we don't know what "April" means. Our best guess is that it's related to the Greek "Aphrodite", maybe through Etruscan, but since Etruscan isn't just dead but extinct (we only know a few hundred words of Etruscan, and none of them are helpful), we can't be sure.

"Conga" and "Rhythm is Gonna Get You" are, in fact, two separate songs by Gloria Estefan and The Miami Sound Machine, and not the same song as I previously thought.

When I was a kid my dad saw me reading a Toxic Avengers comic and told me he'd seen the movie version the other night and that it was really gross and Toxie kept mutating throughout the movie until he turned into a giant cockroach and his girlfriend killed him with a shotgun. Many years later I saw the Toxic Avengers movie and dad's plot summary proved incorrect. It only just occurred to me that he had caught David Cronenberg's The Fly on TV and mistaken it for the Toxic Avengers movie. I still haven't figured out which movie featured a priest keeping a piece of an evil brain in a jar, which dad claimed to be the synopsis for The Exorcist.

for 30+ years now my dad has been like "the programme says theres a pretty good movie on the telly tonight" and mom & us kids are all like "yeah? whats it called?" and hes like "i forgot" tbf they are indeed pretty good, he doesnt recommend lovely movies. i guess the title just leaves his mind immediately when he's decided whether a movie is good or bad.
