Micropachycephalosaurus is the dinosaur with the longest name. Ironically, it was very small at about 1 metre long.
Cutthroat Island is the Least Financially Successful Movie made. In the Box Office, it raked in a mere 11 Million. It cost 100 Million to make, for an 89% Loss.
The Blair Witch Project is the Most Financially Successful. For every dollar spent to make it, it raked in just under 11,000!
A Law in Calgary, Alberta, Canada's books, until very recently, demanded all businesses have a post out front to hitch your horse to.
In Many Canadian and American area codes, 867-5309 is blocked or otherwise unavailable. When the Tommy Tutone song "Jenny", about a name and number scrawled on a bathroom wall, became popular, people began dialing the number looking for Jenny. After various issues with various phone companies, the number was blocked, and owners of them were often compensated for their trouble and given a free change in the number. The writer has even openly declared there IS no Jenny, and the numbers were chosen because they fit the song's rhythm, nothing more.
No one knows who the Carly Simon song "You're So Vain" is about, save Carly...and one fan. In exchange for a $50,000 donation to a Charity of Carly's choice, she shared the secret...and the fan is bound not to reveal it unless someone matches the price he paid, 50 Grand to a charity of HIS choice.

The Beatles planned to do the first live adaptation version of The Lord of the Rings, with Paul as Frodo, Ringo as Sam, George as Gandalf, and John as Gollum. The group even approached Stanley Kubrick about directing, but, ironically, he turned it down. Kubrick, the man who spent ten years making 2001: A Space Odyssey, felt the Lord of the Rings was "unfilmable" due to its immense size.
Denmark and Sweden have fought more wars against each other than any other countries in the world.
Yep, this is true. However, the first documented form of birth control that was somewhat effective was something adopted in France among the elite. Women would cut lemons in half and insert them into their vagina. The cup shape acted like a female condom of sorts and the lemon juice acted as a spermicide.DeltaEdge said:
Another random fact/experience:
In the Google search "French birth control lemon", the sixth hit down is GLaDOS quotes from IMDB.
There are two towns which hold the dubious distinction of being successfully captured the most. The first is Jerusalem (currently held by Israel). The second is Berwick-upon-tweed, which has changed hands between England and Scotland numerous times.

You can clone Pokémon in the original Silver and Gold versions by depositing a pokémon in a box, then changing the box to another. When the "Saving game etc." text reaches the period, you turn the power on and off, and now you have two of the pokemon you just deposited, on different boxes.

LOL! Also, vampires can't get erections, because they don't have blood pumping through there bodies (no pulse). I am pointing at you...

This happens with almost every movie that shows a real phone number. On at least one occasion the phone number was fake and didn't exist in the USA, but dialing it from another country (can't remember which one) did still work.DMShade said:
Also, the hot-line to God in one movie has been called over 10.000 (or was it 100.000?) times in real life. The guy owning that phone number sued the movie studio and won.
