The Official A&E "Did You Know?" Thread (i.e. Trivia)

[bada]

Did you know that the Green Hornet is the grandnephew of the Lone Ranger?

[Mecca]

yes. everyone knew that.

[Jorge]

I didn't know that. Thanks, Bada.

[Norah]

Me neither. Thanks for sharing that, bada.

[Jorge]

Did you know that since "hasta la vista" is a Spanish phrase used in T2 for effect, and the effect is kind of lost when you translate all the dialogue into Spanish, the people who did the Spanish-language dubbing for T2 changed the line to the English phrase "see you later, alligator"?

[Norah]

You've told me that before but I don't remember that being the replacement line.

[bada]

I didn't know that.

Me either. I read it yesterday and immediately thought this information must be shared.

[E.H. Ruddock]

yes. everyone knew that.

if by "everyone" you meant some random dude who bbq's shit in Buffalo, NY, then yes, everyone knew that.

[Mecca]

yes. everyone knew that.

The mask is a dead giveaway. I don't know why I know that factoid though.

[Norah]

Did you know that incorrect usage over the years has changed the common definition of factoid? It's supposed to be a piece of information that sounds true but is actually false. Now we use it to mean a piece of trivial information.

That's an interesting factoid, thanks, Chud.

You sonofabitch.

[Kaius]

That seems like more of a general "Did You Know?" and not really an A&E "Did You Know?".

[ABNorman]

I was entertained.

[Jorge]

Yeah but where's the art?

[ABNorman]

Yeah but where's the art?

I'll tell you.

[Jorge]

FUCK you.

[ABNorman]

FUCK you.

Bring it, platy-wuss.

[Norah]

Oh, originally the term factoid was coined by Arthur Miller to come up with the bullshit people were saying, and believing, about his wife Marilyn Monroe. There's your A&E connection.

[Kaius]

Thank you
