Norton did receive some tokens of recognition for his position. The 1870 US census lists Joshua Norton as 50 years old and residing at 624 Commercial Street, with his occupation listed as "Emperor". It also notes that he was insane.[47]

For example, many of the buildings in London's Covent Garden are leased at a rent of "one red apple and a posy of flowers",[11] the National Coastwatch station at St Albans Head occupies buildings owned by the Encombe Estate in exchange for "one crab per annum if demanded"[12] while the Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust leases untenanted land on the Isles of Scilly from the Duchy of Cornwall for one daffodil per year.[13]

In 2001, he was the target of a pieing at a fashion premiere at Lincoln Center in New York City. However, the tofu pies hurled by animal rights activists in protest against his use of fur within his collections went astray, instead hitting Calvin Klein.

In early issues of The Defenders, Steve Gerber created a cult-classic character known as the Elf with a Gun, later named Melf. On multiple occasions, he appeared and killed a random civilian with no connection to the rest of the storyline. These characters and events were never explained.

any media that runs too long gets weird as hell and american superhero comic books (i assume) are a prime example

it really sucks that its become so common that there are decades of mystery box bullshit with high production values but still no intent, just random events superficially alluding to a hypothetical intent

Booing is an act of publicly showing displeasure for someone or something, such as an entertainer or an athlete, by loudly yelling "Boo!" and sustaining the "oo" sound by holding it out.

In Brazil, the character is universally recognized and loved by adults and children, even today. Even people who haven't seen the show will still recognize Orko, (or Gorpo, as he is known in Brazilian dubbing) from other media, like illustrations and mainly memes on the internet.

Ben Jonson, Francis Bacon and William Shakespeare (referred to as 'Shaxpur') also deny having passed gas, though they have different opinions about the merits of flatulence. Bacon considers it a "great performance" beyond his abilities, and Shakespeare is astounded by its "firmament-clogging rottenness". Walter Raleigh admits to it, but confesses that it was not up to his usual standards, demonstrating his abilities by letting out an even louder one.

He is recorded as having reigned as both king and gudug priest for ten sars (periods of 3,600 years) although this figure is probably a copyist error for ten years.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

No it isn't, it was a page with a redirect to wikiquote from the start. The worthless thing is that the redirect page even exists.

Myth statement: It is possible to put out a grease fire with enough water.
Status: Confirmed
Notes: Adam called in a firefighting helicopter, which dropped 500 US gallons (1,900 L) of water on the grease fire and successfully extinguished it.

What’s that from?
I wouldn’t try it unless you’ve been trained on it but high velocity water fog is an acceptable agent for extinguishing a class bravo fire. So I don’t know that this is a myth or that you even need that much water.
