In the first six episodes of the series, a person whose hair covers his face appears in the background of some scenes, such as to the left when Neil gets hit by Vyvyan with a kettle in "Bomb". This was never explained, though it could be suggested it's simply a projection of Neil's isolation from the group. However, such a thought can easily be debunked.

On Jimmy Page's website, he lists this song as one on which he plays.[10] However, someone on a forum site said that Page himself has never claimed to have played on the track and has also said that Alan Parker was the guitarist on the session.[11]

One can assemble a vintage rock music collection in the format, for 25 cents per tape in some cases, and the warm "analog sound" is preferred by some listeners over digital CD, MP3- especially when played through tube amplification units. Players that once cost $300–$400 new in 1970, can be purchased today for only $50. Typically these players exhibit the excellent "Made in Japan" quality of the time, being visibly and electronically superior to the new "Made in China" CD/MP3 electronics available today.

Iha was often considered the "quiet one" in Smashing Pumpkins, but he was known to engage in ad-libbed jokes and rap sessions at live performances. His humor was encapsulated in his use of the catchphrase, "I've seen a million faces, and I've rocked them all," originally from the Bon Jovi song "Wanted Dead or Alive".[7][8]

The railway attempted to buy the land it occupies. A bid of £1 was submitted in view of the high cost of removing asbestos covered pipes alongside the line. The bid was rejected by M-real.[4] English Heritage is considering whether or not to list the 118-span Milton Regis Viaduct. As well as the railway, the future of three feral cats that live under the café at Kemsley was also threatened. It was announced at the National Railway Museum on 4 September 2008 that the railway had won the 2008 Small Group award from the Heritage Railway Association.[5]
In November 2008, the railway was contracted to remove asbestos pipes from a 200 yards (183 m) section alongside the railway.

Reopening
The Sittingbourne & Kemsley Light Railway was originally planned to reopen on Good Friday 2012 but discovery of asbestos at the lineside caused a postponement to Sunday 27 May when the line between Sittingbourne Viaduct and Kemsley Down stations was finally reopened.

I didn't hear about the Young Ones until I was in eighth grade when they started showing them on MTV. One of the seniors couldn't get through telling us about an episode without dying in tears, laughing so hard. And one of the bits he made sure to mention was "And in every episode, there's this dude that looked like Reggie Sleenrod sitting like THIS that no one even acknowledges."
I was kinda mad to find out later that he wasn't in every episode.

i don't think most of them stand up very well in terms of funny, tbh, but the sets are always dense with peripheral stuff going on so i'm sure lots of us have noticed this before and then forgot about it

Zeke wears his hat throughout the entire film because he does not struggle to pry open the cellar when the tornado approaches the farm. Hunk (Scarecrow's alter ego) closes and locks the cellar with him when Dorothy arrives at the farmhouse. Zeke and Professor Marvel (The Wizard's alter ego) are the only men wearing hats when Dorothy awakens from being unconscious.

For geneticists, "Chuman" therefore refers to a hybrid of male chimpanzee and female human, while "Humanzee" or "manpanzee" refers to a hybrid of male human and female chimpanzee[2] (cf. tigon/liger). This distinction is not always followed in popular speech.

Several sources cite the lieutenant's name as "Philip Columbo". Columbo's first name Philip was conceived by Fred L. Worth. In Worth's book, The Trivia Encyclopedia, the fictitious entry about Columbo's first name was actually a "copyright trap" – a deliberately false statement intended to reveal subsequent copyright infringement.[29] When his false information was later included as one of the questions in the board game Trivial Pursuit, he filed a $300 million lawsuit.

Beautiful.
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 21 August 2014 11:41 (nine years ago) link
That doesn't make much sense to me... Can trivia somehow be copyrighted? If Columbo really had a first name, and this Worth dude had mentioned it in his book, how could he have owned the copyright to that fact? IIRC these kind of copyright traps (intentional misspellings etc) are normally used to discover case where someone else has copied (parts of) your text wholesale and used it as their own, but I doubt the Trivial Pursuit card had the same exact wording as this guy's book.
― Tuomas, Thursday, 21 August 2014 11:55 (nine years ago) link
The publishers of Trivial Pursuit did acknowledge that Worth's books were among their sources, but argued that this was not improper, as facts are not protected by copyright and the name appeared across several sources. The district court judge agreed, ruling in favor of the Trivial Pursuit publishers.

In the 1971 episode "Dead Weight", when Columbo introduces himself to General Hollister, the audience is shown a brief close-up of Columbo's badge and police ID; the signature reads "Frank Columbo".

Yeah, but who wants to play Trivial Pursuit with four people looking to relax and scratch their brains a little for wacky facts, and one person who clobbers them because they've memorized the Trivia Encyclopedia? Basic calibration problem with the game in general IMO.
