Random Useless Facts

[DanB7290]

I don't believe we have a thread for random facts of the day. So here's one

The guy who does the voice of Hermes in Futurama, and Ollie Williams in Family Guy, is not only the same person, but he also played Marvin in Pulp Fiction (the one who got shot in the face).

Well i never knew that.

I dont really understand the point of this thread?
If I am understanding correctly, we find a random television extra (or voice-over person) and list a few bit parts that they have done?

OKay, don't understand it but Ill have a go.
The man who parachutes out of the sky in the Pimms advert also was a corporal in that odd gameshow where they tricked people into believing they were going to space.
Is that right?

Doesn't have to be about a TV extra or anything in particular, just one of those things that are totally pointless to know

If you're in proportion, your height is the same as the distance from the ends of your middle fingers, when arms are open wide (think Angel Of Th North type pose)

The blue whale has the largest penis in the animal kingdom, it's approximately 10ft long, however that's nothing compared to the humble barnacle, scaled up to human size it's todger would be the same size as Nelsons columm, being immmobile they mate by jabbing it into their next door neighbour ( and presumaly hoping it's a female ).

I don't think I could so badly misinterpret the point of a post if I tried my absolute hardest to.

OP specifically states 'random fact of the day', then goes on to state a random fact. 'Random' implies there's no association of any kind between the fact and... anything. Including bit part actors.

Now, I'm off to help an old lady work her new television, or something.

A bistro is so named because Russians in Paris during the Napoleonic wars would shout "quickly" at the waiters, which is "bistri" in Russian.
