If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle; if the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle; if the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.

Thats interesting.
The actor Robert Mitchum hated being an actor, he said it was for sissies. He only did it because he knew he was good at it and he made a lot of money.

Did you know that you cannot copyright an idea?
I know of some people who, over the course of several years, developed an idea from a few lines read on bar stages into a full play.
Then turned that play into a movie.
Said movie did not go as well as hoped.
Well their own original idea was then used in a different movie and they could do nothing to stop it.
You can't "own" an idea.

The names of all continents both start and end with the same letter. That is, if you leave off North and South

The most succesful movie producer of all time is Roger Corman. Of all the movies he made, only two didnt make money.

Europe begins and ends with an "E". I think that's what it means.
