I realized, that in any given day I can easily search the web for 3 to 6 (sometimes more) random bits of information. Some are more useful than others. Nonetheless, I hope to start posting these queries on a regular schedule.
For today:
- How tall is Fred Thompson really? (I recently saw him described as 6′7″) Celebheights.com says he’s 6′6″ and speculates he may be slightly shorter as he has probably shrunk with age.
- Was Danny Masterson (AKA Hyde on “That 70’s Show”) in the movie “My Best Friend’s Wedding”? No. But Christopher Masterson was. They are brothers. Christopher also appeared on “That 70’s Show” as that guy that worked at the cheese store in the mall. You may also recognize him as Francis from “Malcolm in the Middle.”
- What does “ho” really mean? Per dictionary.com, it is “used as a call to attract attention, sometimes specially used after a word denoting a destination.”
- Why does gas in Oregon cost the same was Washington? (Oregon, like New Jersey, outlaws self-service gas pumps). I’m not exactly sure, but according to gaspricewatch.com Washington’s gas tax is 28 cents per gallon while Oregon’s is 24 cents per gallon. I suppose that 4 cents a gallon could cover the extra labor required at Oregon’s pumps.
Hopefully I will keep all these thing organized by remembering to tag them with del.icio.us. You can keep yourself updated by regularly visiting.
