    The theme song for The Midnight Express was "Chase" by Giorgio Moroder.

    There are about ten million remixes of this song out there. Seriously.

    On an elevator, if your intended floor number is already pressed, (number lit up), pressing it again doesn't make it go faster.



    ....

    And there's this.

    The only home Skunk remedy that works:

    1 bottle of 3% hydrogen peroxide
    1/2 cup of Baking soda
    2 tablespoons of dawn

    Bath that dog over and over until the skunk smell is gone.

    There are more lakes in Canada than in the rest of the world combined.

    And a bonus, just to ruin your day: Smashing Pumpkins' 1979 would be called 2007 if it were released today.

    I'm going to officially petition to bring back รพ to English.

    Also -

    OK is short for Oll Korrect (or all correct), because before the internet in the 1830's, people found their fun where they could, like intentionally misspelling words for laughs. There were lots of other "funny" misspellings of words that are essentially forgotten to history, but OK became immortalized when Martin Van Buren resurrected it as a campaign slogan for the presidency because his nickname was "Old Kinderhook".

    And -

    The place where you evacuate from Hurricanes is named for the Kansas-Texas Railroad (Later the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad). Like a lot of the old-timey railroads, the Kanas-Texas Railroad was commonly shortened to the "K-T" Railroad, which became Katy when they named the town.
