This one's for music and film fans;

I was watching King Kong (the newest one with Jack Black and Naomi Watts).

Turns out the lovely Ms. Watts' parents both have a small part on Pink Floyd's song Speak To Me off Dark Side of the Moon album. Her Dad does the maniacal laughing and her Mom says "Cruisin' for a bruisin'" on that song.

Naomi was born in England and then moved to Australia but can do an American accent spot on. *Much like that guy from House.

Yeah.

I have the most boring, obscure nonsense stored away in my brain.

Speaking of bugs...
 

Just read this on MSN: "According to the FDA, this red food coloring (also known as cochineal extract) is made from dried, ground bugs . The Dactylopius coccus costa insect is native to Peru and the Canary Islands, where it feeds on red berries. The berries accumulate in the females' stomachs and in their unhatched larvae—which is what gives the extract its red coloring. Carmine is one of the most widely used coloring agents, and food manufacturers routinely use it to turn foods shades of pink, red or purple. Chances are it's what makes the color of your strawberry yogurt or that cranberry drink look so appealing."

Aaaackkk!!!

interesting Moose,

Did ya know grapes explode when you put them in the microwave.*(peep wars coming soon)

I had the honor of traveling on the SS Norway in the year 2000, the largest cruise ship in the world. Named the SS France before Norwegian Cruise Line took her over, she was launched in the presence of French President Charles de Gaulle in May 1960 and in 1962 she carried the Mona Lisa to New York City.

I loved that ship that is now retired permanently. It was like traveling on the Titanic.

Ooo, speaking of the Titanic, just this past fall, Elizabeth Gladys "Millvina" Dean (last living survivor) had to auction off her memorabilia to pay for her nursing home. Her mom and brother also survived the ordeal and have since perished.


LMAO! Sandy, based on your avatar, she's obviously STILL seasick!!!!! :ROTFLMAO: :ROTFLMAO: :ROTFLMAO: :ROTFLMAO: :ROTFLMAO: :ROTFLMAO: :ROTFLMAO: :ROTFLMAO:
