useless info: When a cat died in ancient Egypt, its owners shaved off their eyebrows as a sign of mourning. --------- Star Trek the Next Generation: Geordi LaForge, the blind navigator played by Lavar Burton, was named in tribute to George LaForge --- a young, wheelchair-bound Trekkie who died in 1975 from complications related to muscular dystrophy. Wesley Crusher, the doctor's son, was named after Gene Roddenberry, whose middle name was Wesley. "He is me at 17," Roddenberry said. "He is the things I dreamed of being and doing." ---------- When your face blushes, the lining of your stomach turns red too. --------- Q: What three roles did Peter Seller's play in Dr. Strangelove? And which role was he suppose to play under his contract that was offered to Dan Blocker (Hoss on Ponderosa) but turned down? A:Dr. Strangelove, Pres. Merkin Muffley and Group Captain Lionel Mandrake. Columbia Pictures agreed having Stanley Kubrick direct his friend Peter Sellers as long as Sellers had 4 major roles, and attempted to, except injury to Sellers made him give up the role of Major TJ "King" Kong then played by Slim Pickens. The last scene was to be a food fight(pies) and the "war" room footage shows the food on the table but the actors had too good of time and it was cut- it was suppose to be a serious food fight having the President of the US and the Soviet ambassador sitting making 'pie castles' like children in the beach at the very end. "Confront a man in his office with a nuclear alarm, and you have a documentary. If the news reaches him in his living room, you have a drama. If it catches him in the lavatory, the result is a comedy." ~Stanley Kubrick ---------- Only two words in the English language end in "gry"- angry and hungry ---------- Longest word to Shakespeare's plays: "honorificabilititudinitatibus" (Love's Labour's Lost)
