I mentioned this in the DS9 thread a while back when I realized, but in similar Trek relation revelations: Alexander Siddig/Siddig El Fadil is Malcolm McDowell's nephew. Once you see it...

Wow, they look so much alike though! I mean, their most famous routine (probably) was literally built around their resemblance to each other.

supposedly Brett Marx, who played Jimmy Feldman in Bad News Bears, and looks a ton like Harpo, is actually the grandson of Gummo Marx, and great nephew of the other Marx brothers.

They might look similar, but they did such a good job distinguishing their characters. Like, check this out:

Would you assume these four were brothers if they did not bill themselves as such? Dunno. Clearly I wouldn't have!

I was watching the Muppet Show the other day and noticed the (Muppet) musicians were all left handed! So I looked it up and indeed:
The Muppets appear to be left-handed because the people who operate them use their right hands for the most important work. The right hand operates the head and mouth while the left hand holds rods attached to the arms. (The rods are always painted the same color as the background scenery, disguising them somewhat.) AIthough the puppeteers are ambidextrous, they appear to favor the left hands of their puppets because their own left hands manipulate them. Some of the puppets have hands that grasp. Here, two puppeteers are involved: one to work the mouth and the left arm, the other to work the right arm. The puppeteers, of course, stand below the puppets to operate them, and watch themselves on television monitors which show their movements reversed, right to left. It sounds complicated, and it is.

I'm sure I've said it before but Zeppo is the spit of my cousin, Jim. Not that Jim looks like that now.

so fucked that they made the Muppets left-handed so their puppeteers can masturbate at the same time

second image a bit of a reach, and isn't yellow the stereotypical raincoat color?

If you look more closely, the jacket in the second one appears to be the exact same one that Feldman wore. Given that Spielberg produced Goonies, I assume this was an intentional easter egg.

Lon-ji-tude is too difficult to say if you pronounce -tude as -tewd, but I assume you don't do that in the US anyway?

In Romanian, it's lung with a hard g but longitudine with a soft g, just like in NA English.

I've never actually heard anyone say 'leftenant' irl tbh so I'm dubious about how common its use is in the UK.
