The Ramones went to the same school as Simon and Garfunkel, as did Jerry Springer and Ray "Everybody loves Raymond"" Romano. It is claimed that the Spiderman went there as well but I am not convinced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To attract more punters they should .get a few strippers in. ETA f**k me, that's better than most of the jokes that have won "best of the fringe" in the last few years.

scottsdad Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Not done a Star Trek fact for a couple of weeks... The BBC didn't show 2 episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation during its original run in the late 80s/early 90s. "Conspiracy" wasn't shown because of the graphic death of Remmick. When they did show it eventually they cut this scene. "High Ground" wasn't shown as Data said in it that Ireland reunified in 2024 as a result of the IRA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 As I'm sure you know @Fullerene, your username and avatar refer to an allotrope of carbon. Allotrope refers to the different structural forms which an element can possess. The most common allotropes of carbon being diamond, graphite and graphene although there are many others. Fullerenes, as there are many of them, are named after Buckminster Fuller, an American architect among other things, who came up with the geodesic dome, indeed a fullerene with 60 atoms (your avatar) is named buckminsterfullerene. The simplest fullerene is a dodecahedron, C20 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
