Amazing Things I Learned Today!
Hey, a new forum game! The title is pretty self explanatory.
Drumroll please! The Amazing Thing I Learned Today Number 1 is... The Barenaked Ladies sang the theme song for Big Bang Theory!

Barclay actually appeared in more episodes of Voyager (6) than NextGen (5)!

The movie "The Last Unicorn" can be considered a hybrid of anime and Rankin/Bass. This combination strangely works. See MarzGurl's review on YouTube. (She calls herself the Nostalgia Chick because she was a contender for that title using this as her submission, but she didn't earn that title) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1c5cnsjJwIQ

http://www.boston.com/business/artic...__for_parking/ A man paid $300,000 for a parking space. And this isn't even a parking space in a secure heated lot and security guards, this is a parking space On. The. Street. Dude! If I had that much money I'd move to another apartment that had free parking spaces. Or maybe move to another city that had cheaper parking!

As I was driving today I was reminiscing about ''The Princess Diaries 2," and I started pondering where else I saw the actor who played Nicholas. It was really nagging me, then it hit me like a ton of bricks: that guy was Chris Pine, our newest Captain Kirk! Wow. Just wow.

"Mary Sue" is a term invented in a Star Trek fanfic. Or maybe I already knew that, and the information's just been buried under all the other junk rattling around my head. Whatever.

Diagon Alley from Harry Potter is a pun on "diagonally." It is physically painful that in ten years I've never figured that one out.

The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny and the Potter Puppet Pals have the same creator, Niel Cicierega AKA Lemon Demon! Wow. Just wow. This one is understandable, as I've always seen the name "Niel Cicierega" attached to PPP and "Lemon Demon" attached to TUSOUD. I never knew they were the same person, however. P.S. Watch the Potter Puppet Pals! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tx1XI...eature=related

I've long known that Ron Wasserman was responsible for some of the classic Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers music, but I just learned that he also worked on some music for the Sailor Moon dub! http://www.linkedin.com/in/ronwasserman

I'm a big fan of both Ranma 1/2 and X-Men Evolution, so I was surprised to learn that they share a few voice actors! Venus Terzo=Jean Grey and Female Ranma Richard Ian Cox=Quicksilver and Male Ranma Now that TVTropes has pointed it out, I'm having one of those slap my own forehead moments. Of course those voices are the same!

For complicated reasons I stumbled upon my old Yahoo account. I haven't signed into that account for at least five years. It's so old that it still listed the Five-Minute Stargate site (the GeoCities one) and the 3Sygma version of Five-Minute Voyager, plus Sev Trek from the days when the entire archive was still free. Seriously, an amazing thing I learned today!

There may be justice in the world after all! Fan-game The Silver Lining (the unofficial King's Quest 9) was shut down a few months ago by the rights owners, but the overwhelming fan support and petitions have reopened negotiations! http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2010/...-quest-sequel/

This one will take a little setup. I'm a fan of Hayley Mills' early Disney movies (Pollyanna, The Parent Trap, etc.), so I was delighted to discover someone had actually written a fan song about her...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Csg9f0TXSK4 It's a relatively obscure song, so... TATILT #17 Someone actually reworked it to be a fan song for the Beatles! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDMAES4utqg
