Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted August 8, 2016 Paid Members Posted August 8, 2016 Well shit, I never knew that either! Love the title of that article, my thoughts exactly.
The King Of Swing Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 Add me to the list of people who didn't know 3CPO had a silver leg.
Members SuperBacon Posted August 8, 2016 Members Posted August 8, 2016 Never heard the Mandela thing, either. Kel, of Keenan and Kel fame, now he definitely did die in the mid-90's. Anyone will tell you that. Is it true??? Mmm hmm...
Slapnut Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 Is anybody aware of fifth housemate from The Young Ones? It's one of the popular ones commonly discussed on the subreddit. I've not seen a single episode of The Young Ones (shocking, I know, but it's on my Netflix to-watch list), but I know there are a fair few fans on here. Basically, there's a "ghostly" figure in plain view in most episodes that not many people seem to have ever noticed: It's even in publicity shots: Young Ones fans - have you noticed him/her before? From looking at pictures, it's hard to understand how anybody could miss that, yet there are news articles all over the place written by people who have failed to notice this.
Paid Members FLips Posted August 8, 2016 Paid Members Posted August 8, 2016 Never in my life. That's insane.
Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted August 8, 2016 Paid Members Posted August 8, 2016 There's that version of the film Sex Tape where Jason Segal's character dies from a spider bite early in the plot, and then the film proceeds as before, but without him. It's just an Amazon joke, but by the number of confused responses I've seen online, I'll bet it enters into some people's memory as having been a real thing.
The Gaffer Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 That Young Ones thing is downright diabolical. It's freaked me right out.
Paid Members Dead Mike Posted August 8, 2016 Paid Members Posted August 8, 2016 Is anybody aware of fifth housemate from The Young Ones? That's great! Some amazing 'new' pub trivia for a bunch of us, cheers
Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted August 8, 2016 Paid Members Posted August 8, 2016 I just spent 20 minutes trying to confirm that the fifth housemate was real, because that's almost too amazing to be true.
wordsfromlee Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 I read a strange one on Reddit about a guy who was a fan of the black metal band Mayhem for nearly 20 years and woke up one day to discover the guitarist had died in 1993. He thought he was going crazy because he had seen the band with the guitarist performing only a few months ago and even met him at the record shop he runs a couple of years previously and got his autograph. He swore that he never died and was still playing and writing new material with the band. The thread is here is anyone wants to check it out.
Paid Members Carbomb Posted August 8, 2016 Paid Members Posted August 8, 2016 The one that comes to mind for wrestling is that Shawn Michaels superkicked Marty Jannetty through the Barbershop window.
Merzbow Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 One of the first things I ever knew about Mayhem was Euronymous being killed by Varg (and Per killing himself), that's many peoples first glimpse into Black Metal. Imagine being a fan of Queen and not knowing that Freddie had died all those years ago..
Paid Members herbie747 Posted August 8, 2016 Paid Members Posted August 8, 2016 Remember that Dastardly & Muttley Wacky Races cartoon - the song was "Catch the Pigeon", right? WRONG!
Guy Bifkin Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 Apparently everyone thinks the song "We are the Champions" by Queen ends with "......of the World" but it doesn't.
