Tell us something we don't know....

I believe it was Lawrence Welk. That was kind of his trademark.

It was Don Ho signature song. From 1957, I think.

It was also sung by Dean Martin.

Lawrence Welk and his Champagne Music Makers. The opening was shot through a tank full of water with bubbles rising to the top.

Tiny Bubbles was Don Ho's theme song.

The nearest star, Proxima Centauri, is 4.2 light-years from Earth, a distance that would take about 6,300 years to travel using current technology. Such a trip would take many generations. Indeed, most of the humans involved would never see Earth or its planet counterpart. These humans would need to reproduce with each other throughout the journey in a way that guarantees arrival of a healthy crew at the Proxima Centauri planet.

Did you know you can’t legally buy a mousetrap in California without a hunting license?”

They've been trying to keep it kinda quiet, but the drives in question would be circa 2005. Chances are pretty unlikely you'll encounter one in the wild. Isolated to a single drive manufacturer as well, not common to all 5400 rpm drives.

A human erection has enough blood to keep 3 gerbils alive.

Sounds like a government-funded research project done at Texas A&M.

Stay tuned for scenes from next week's episode of the Richard Gere show

Adenosine 5′-triphosphate or ATP is a form of chemical energy your body produces on the cellular level. This is a result of your metabolism working.

The .950 JDJ cartridge propels its 3,600 grain bullet at approximately 2,200 feet per second. This yields a muzzle energy of 38,685 foot-pounds force (52,450 joules).

As long as we're talking about things some people don't know, I'll add a couple.

First, the rifle is ugly as sin.



Second, it kicks really, really hard.



Third, I collect those blind, shellholder actions. I've got the best collection of Wichitas in the country. But even though the Wichita Mini BR is supposedly the most rigid benchrest action ever made, it would run away, hide, and spend the day crying in the fetal position if it were asked to contain that monster.

Holy crap. Talk about doing something "just because you can!"

Buying a one-square-foot plot of land in Scotland does not grant you the title of "Lord" or "Lady". It doesn't even make you a "laird", Scottish slang for a landowner who is not a member of the peerage. Lordships are hereditary, or are created by the monarchy. Landowners who are referred to as "laird" generally own estates, not postage stamps.

Sorry, but if you've bought one of these "certificates", you probably don't even own that promised one-square-foot of land. You purchased a sheet of paper with false claims on it (suitable for framing).

Also, you can't actually pay to have a star named after you. Though the company promises "your" star's name will be recorded "in the star registry", the only registry it appears in is their receipt book, which no astronomer anywhere uses or would even want to.
