I never knew that......

I had a friend who managed the games section of a Six Flags. He did say that the rope climb is impossible especially in the last few handles. But when the places closes they can practice on it until they’ve mastered it. Him and his coworkers have gone and went to other parks and beaches win everything and just give away the big prizes. Actually think he’s banned in some spots lol

If you friend mastered it, its not impossible js...
 

I don't wanna turn this into a hair cutting thread, but I honestly never knew this about clippers. The part about opening and closing. My girl bought me some andis clippers a long time ago and I've not once tried to cut my own hair. Always go to the barber.

Anyways, yeah it's sad, but I never knew what any of the buttons did or what the numbers meant on the attachments until recently :lol
 
In 2014, Sports Illustrated predicted that the Houston Astros would win the 2017 World Series.

In 2006, Evan Gattis walked away from baseball for three years. He battled addiction issues, was homeless and worked as a janitor among many odd jobs. Now he's a #WorldSeries champion. Life is what you make it.

Dudes a beast. Real paul bunyon type, no batting gloves either. I remember him back on the braves. Funny how mccann and him were alternating between catcher there and now houston they teammates
 
NFL refs also receive Super Bowl rings.

The volleyball comes from a basketball’s bladder. When he first devised the sport in 1895, William G. Morgan tried to use a basketball, but found it too heavy for what he had in mind. So instead he played with the basketball’s inflatable rubber inside (similar to a bike wheel’s inner tube), until a custom ball was created just for the sport by A.G. Spalding

Despite running about three hours, actual playing time in a Major League Baseball game is under 18 minutes.

Until 1936, the jump ball in basketball took place at center court after every single made basket.

The Philadelphia Eagles and the Pittsburgh Steelers once combined to form the Steagles. Due to so many of their players serving in the military during World War II, the Eagles and Steelers combined in 1943 to form one team called the Steagles.

Japanese golfers carry hole-in-one insurance. In Japan, it is customary for golfers who’ve hit a hole-in-one to throw a celebration for their closest companions, though this can also be as simple as buying them all a celebratory gift. Nearly four million Japanese golfers carry golf insurance, paying a $65 premium every year for $3500 in coverage.

Every ball used in Major League Baseball is dirty. In order to take the slick factory sheen off and allow pitchers to get a better grip, Major League Baseball wipes down each baseball with mud from an undisclosed location on the Delaware River. And it’s been done this way for close to 75 years now.

There has never been a documented perfect March Madness bracket. Every year Warren Buffett has offered $1 billion to anyone who fills out a perfect March Madness bracket.

Wembley Stadium in London has the most toilets of any sports venue in the world. 2618
 
Never knew that Chinese Checkers is a game of German origin.
french toast was actually german toast but with their reputation with the world wars america switched it up.

fortune cookies were created in california. never in china to begin with
 
Ad-Rock from beastie boys is responsible for too many things to list. But a few things:

He started the backwards baseball hat trend in the 80's
IMG_0477.JPG

Invented the word "sampling" as it applies to music. And the term was first used legally in a lawsuit against The Beastie Boys in the late 80's. Sugar Hill gang was the first group to be involved with a sampling lawsuit. But it wasn't called sampling at that time

He discovered LL Cool J, amongst many others. He was responsible for listening to all the demo tapes that got turned in to Def Jam back in the day. He listened to LL's tape, was impressed, told Russell to sign him. Russell did, and took credit for discovering him. Ad-rock actually made the beat for LL's first record "I need a beat." Using the first drum machine he ever bought. Again, Jazzy Jay and Rick Rubin of Def Jam took credit for producing this.

Could do a dissertation on the little known facts about the band, but these are the random ones I can remember off top of dome. There was another one about a famous rap album that came out in the 90's. I can't remember it, but it was a lengendary classic from some artist. Anyways, dude didn't have all the equipment so he crashed at Adams crib and borrowed some of his gear to make the beats and the rest was history. Wish I could remember who it was
