OT: Things we find freaking neat but no place to post

I was looking up all the voices he's done, and I totally forgot he was Firelord Ozai.

I was just about to mention that. I also didn't realize he was both the Joker and Solomon Grundy in the Justice League and Justice League Unlimited series. I mean, he was obviously the Joker, but I didn't know about Grundy.

He was also in at least two Miyazaki films, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind as a fairly minor character and Castle in the Sky as the villain Muska.

Back in the day when I used to care about the NBA... He was one if the best point guards in the game. Hope Mookie is going to be alright.

Back in the day when I used to care about the NBA...

The only Mookie I ever knew about was Mookie Wilson.

I'm not ashamed to admit it. When Magic and Bird were meeting in the finals, and Jordan was doing his thing, the game was exciting.

The article I linked is about Pearl Jam wishing Blaylock a speedy recovery, as they have a unique connection to the man.

The only Mookie I ever knew about was Chewbacca.

EDIT: 4800!

Maybe I'm wrong here, but I don't think that "normal" maritime salvage laws apply to war losses.

(Canada, slang) Back when Hockey was played on frozen ponds and lakes the losers of the hockey game would have to hose the lakes to become clean, smooth ice. They were tagged "Hosers".

Something else you probably didn't know: hosers were usually pressed to hurry up with their work so that the next period could begin. This would often lead to the hoses getting tangled up and would cause longer delays. Obviously, this would lead to mutual frustration on the part of the hockey players and the hosers alike. One time, a hoser snapped back at a hockey player and the hockey player responded with, "Oh, don't get your panty hosers in a bunch." Over the years, the letter "r" in "hosers" was dropped. Eventually, the word was removed altogether from today's common phrase.
