Teach me something new today, or random trivia......

Mario, from Super Mario, was originally named “Jumpman”, although his name was later changed to honor Nintendo of America's landlord, Mario Segali

and on another trivial note, it would seem, I only post trivial shit in the trivial thread upon reading posted trivial shit that reminds me of something trivial I know.

Well this would be the more recent source, and while one may not agree with their theories, I would think the information itself is at least credible:

As much as I hate using wiki for credible info:

If it wasn't for the attack of Pearl Harbor, the 49th state would have been called Jefferson; located between California and Oregon.

Quoted from Wiki

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farmers_Union_Iced_Coffee

"In 2003, Australians consumed in excess of 22,000,000 litres of Farmers Union Iced coffee, making it Australia's best selling flavoured milk drink/milk shake at that time.[1] The drink's popularity has more recently been reflected by some McDonald's, KFC and Hungry Jack's restaurants selling it as a part of their menus across the country. Farmers Union Iced Coffee outsells Coca-Cola in South Australia,[2] making it the only place in the world where a milk drink outsells a cola product,[citation needed] and one of the few places where Coca-Cola is not the most popular locally consumed bottled beverage, a success shared only by Inca Kola in Peru and Irn-Bru in Scotland."

It is more commonly refered to as an by the way FU.

If you were able to drive around the largest known star Vy Canis Majoris which has a diameter of about 2000x that of our sun at an average highway speed of 110km/h it would take you roughly 9100 years to complete this task.

Ok what if it's a turbo E30.. Does it account for the time loss for repairs?

THEN he has to go to congress. if im not mistaken, this only applies to DECLARING WAR, which hasn't happened since 1941.

Nice. 3rd MAW 87-91.

If you completely disassembled a Phantom II Rolls Royce, you would end with 6000-8000 parts depending on the body style.
