The Choc Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 If you take a deck of cards and shuffle it very good, it is almost certainly the only time that exact order of 52 cards has ever existed in all of history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Choc Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 There are more stars in the observable universe than there are grains of sand on earth. However there are more H2O molecules in 3 drops of water than there are stars in the observable universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zathras Posted September 5, 2020 Author Share Posted September 5, 2020 Not sure if this is a "fun" fact, but is a remarkable coincidence: the Beatles' song "All my Loving" was coincidentally played on the hospital's sound system, the moment John Lennon was pronounced dead.

Tank Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Star Wars fun facts-- The name "Anakin" was only heard once in the OT, and not until ROTJ. Leia's last name "Organa" was never heard/mentioned/spoken in the OT. In the ANH shooting script, most non-speaking roles had generic names. "Imperial droid" "bartender" "Alliance general" etc. It was not until the toys began manufacturing, and they decided to make on for literally every character, that names were cooked up for all of them (mostly by Lucas.) (all of these names were established by the ANH radio drama, which pre-EU, was considered canon. 90% of the blasters in ANH are based on actual weapons, most of them from WW2. They were disassembled, and put together in odd combinations. Most of the production design was based around 2 tons of airline and military scrap that was bought. Lucasfilm's famous prop/costume/model archive wasn't actually started until ESB. A lot of the props used in ANH had to be returned to where they were rented from, were taken home by people on the production, or simply thrown away. We are now as far away from Revenge of Sith as we were from Return of the Jedi when Phantom Menace came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zerimar Nyliram Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 On 9/7/2020 at 5:47 PM, Tank said: The name "Anakin" was only heard once in the OT, and not until ROTJ. It's heard twice. "Anakin was a good friend." "I have accepted the truth that you were once Anakin Skywalker, my father." Now, thanks to the 2004 edit, it's heard three times.

Darth Ender Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Despite being one of my favorite pop song of the 90s and having listened to this song hundreds of times (I was a weekend radio dj at a Top 40 station when this song came out), I realized two days ago the song, "Too Close" by Next is about a guy getting a boner on the dance floor.
