Hello curious folks I just wanted a thread where I could post anything that took my fancy:- strange facts, funny videos, stories and out and out lies. Join in - it's fun ;D Did you know that David Bowie invented Connect Four? The next video is a scream..literally. Someone recorded a scream in the 50's and it has appeared in hundreds of films since. It has become a running gag with some directors who will find any pathetic excuse to use it. Enjoy

I'm watching the lunchtime news.
They have just quoted Dr Who's new assistant who says that she is
'over the moon'
about being selected.
Do you think she realised?

(now at Camp Pendleton, San Diego, Marine Corps Recruit Training)
Dear Ma and Pa:
I am well. Hope you are too. Tell Brother Walt and Brother Elmer that the Marine Corps beats working for old man Minch by a mile. Tell them to join up quick before all of the places are filled.
I was restless at first because you got to stay in bed till nearly 6 a.m., but I am getting so I like to sleep late. Tell Walt and Elmer all you do before breakfast is smooth your cot and shine some things. No hogs to slop, feed to pitch, mash to mix, wood to split, fire to lay, practically nothing. Men got to shave but it's not so bad, there is warm water. Breakfast is strong on trimmings like fruit juice, cereal, eggs, bacon, etc., but kind of weak on chops, potatoes, ham, steak, fried eggplant, pie, and other regular food, but tell Walt and Elmer you can always sit by the two city boys that live on coffee. Their food plus yours holds you til noon when you get fed again. It's no wonder these city boys can't walk much.
We go on route marches,which the platoon sergeant says are long walks to harden us. If he thinks so, it's not my place to tell him different. A route marchis about as far as to our mailbox at home. Then the city guys get sore feet and we all ride back in trucks.
The country is nice but awful flat. The sergeant is like a school teacher. He nags a lot. The captain is like the school board. Majors and colonels just ride around and frown. They don't bother you none.
This next will kill Walt and Elmer with laughing. I keep getting medals for shooting. I don't know why. The bulls-eye is near as big as a chipmunk head and don't move, and it ain't shooting at you like the Higgett boys at home. All you got to do is lie there all comfortable and hit it. You don't even load your own cartridges. They come in boxes.
Then we have what they call hand-to-hand combat training. You get to wrestle with them city boys. I have to be real careful though, they break real easy. It ain't like fighting with that ole bull at home. I'm about the best they got in this except for that Tug Jordan from over in Silver Lake. I only beat him once. He joined up the same time as me, but I'm only 5'6" and 130 pounds and he's 6'8"and near 300 pounds dry.
Be sure to tell Walt and Elmer to hurry and join up before other fellers get onto this setup and come stampeding on in.
Your loving daughter,
Mary-Lou

planetdaves 'you will just NOT believe this' story. Many years ago...... I went into town with some mates to see a band. Much drinking went on - apart from our driver who was a good lad. After several hours of heavy drinking we piled into the car and a bit of a row started. I wanted to go home. Everyone else wanted a kebab. No probs. Then one bright spark said - sod that, lets go to 'The Ritz' (grab a granny night). I complained and moaned - but was outvoted. We parked in the railway arches opposite The Ritz and I refused to get out - the rest ignored me and went on their granny hunt. After several minutes of sitting in the car I decided to get into the back to have a kip (mk II 2 door Escort). I was having a nice drunken snooze and kinda noticed the doors opening. The engine started and the car drove away. I rubbed my eyes and then sat up in the middle of the back seat, leaning on the seat backs of the front seats. The driver noticed the movement and looked in the mirror. Our eyes met. He looked at the passenger. Then looked into the mirror again. Then he said, in a strained voice 'SHIT! - THERE'S A GUY IN THE BACK!!!!!!!!' He slammed on the brakes and the driver and passenger flung the doors open and did a runner, leaving the engine running. After some time I pulled myself together. I didn't think leaving the car in the middle of the road with the engine on was a good idea so I slid into the drivers seat and drove the car to the curb, stalled the engine off, locked up (like that was proving safe!) and went back to sleep on the back seat. Some time later the doors opened and my mates piled in. The driver was pissed off - why had I driven the car nearly a quarter of a mile down the road when I was smashed out of my gourd? I tried to explain but they didn't believe it. Not until they found the smashed lock and the screwdiver in the ignition. That and I was white as a sheet and trembling. Anywho - a couple of weeks later. I was sitting in a pub with a large bunch of mates (some quite distant) and the guy next to me started to tell me a story. I listened with great interest as he told me about his mates who had gone into town, got smashed, one had a kip in the car and the car was stolen. Then the car was driven into Salford, the guy in the back was beaten up and thrown into a canal Brilliant. Beat THAT!

Stephen Hawking went out on a date.
He came home with a broken arm, two black eyes, smashed glasses and torn clothing.
He's been stood up.
