An interesting (but useless) fact......
Discussion
In the film Aliens, the director was unhappy that the scale of the alien space ship when the crew step inside the main chamber where the fossilised remains were, wasn't big enough, even though it was built as big as the sound stage could accommodate.
So, instead of adult actors in space suits, he got his then 8 year old son and some of his chums to do the scene, thereby doubling the scale.

If you're standing at the bottom of the earth, the south pole then walk 280 yards north (lets call this Point A), when you begin to walk West you'll be walking in a circle for one mile before returning to point A. Then all you need to do is walk 280 yards South to get back to where you started!
Yes but that is NOT what the quote said:"Contrary to popular belief, there are an infinite number of places on earth where you can walk South one mile, then West one mile, then North one mile, and end up exactly where you started."
You can't just go randomly changing which direction you do first!!!

Bill Paxton is the only actor to have been killed by a Predator, an Alien and a Terminator.
Good knowledge, I particular like this fact.
edit: although technically the alien didn't kill cyborg Bishop, he 'survived'

What if you don't abbreviate 'St'? So whilst you do have a valid point, I shall be sticking to my guns, sir.
An anagram of mother in law is 'Woman Hitler'.
Micky Dolenz's (off of The Monkees) mother invented Tipex - although it was called something else when she made it I believe, but that's not the point.
If you are fatter than your friend, you stand a much better chance of beating him at see-saw.
Carrots were not originally orange, they were actually a kind of beige, parsnip colour. They were bred by the Dutch to become orange in celebration of their national colour.
