Where is the Koi Pond?
I'm not going to try and disprove any of this I can't afford it.

In the light of this, and the Across Ecuador by Ant fiasco (of which the less said the better), we are going to have to set up a Commission of Review for this thread. That way the more outlandish claims can be brought under scrutiny.

What this means is- I want all you Canadians to get out to Prince Edward Island and check out the last resting place of Charles Francis Coghlan. That goes for New Yorkers and Detroitians- whatever, whoever. I don't recall seeing this on "The Road to Avonlea", I'm sure it should have come up at some stage. At the other end of things Texans should look for suspicious movement of lead coffins in the Gulf of Mexico.

NASA scientists- what is the real distance to the moon, we're talking inches here. And is it getting any greater?

All right Chaps and Chapettes- snap to it! All you South Americans- oh I don't know. Go and look for bridges on the Amazon or something.

I anticipate a lot of digging up of corpses. GreenSkull can be OC.

It is impossible to make a decent cup of tea at the summit of Mount Everest!
Water boils at 69 deg C(much less air pressure compared to sea level), so the water never gets hot enough to infuse the tea.

Camels were not introduced into Egypt until after pharonic times.

The studio wanted Ronald Reagan not Humphrey Bogart for Casablanca.
One studio executive's opinion of Fred Astaire was "Dances a little, too short."
The movie studios dismissed television as a fad.

Paulette Goddard
 

I once saw Ronald Reagan in a war film acting opposite Richard Todd and in fairness he gave a decent performance. But the very idea of Ronald Reagan as Rick Blaine in Casablanca...:eek:

Much less ridiculous: did you know that Paulette Goddard was in the front running to be cast as Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With The Wind, before Vivian Leigh pipped her at the winning post. Unfortunately, no matter what the reality of their private lives, female stars in particular needed in those days to have a squeaky clean public image. The pitfall came when Selznick asked for a copy of her marraige licence to prove she was legally married to Charlie Chaplin, an astonishing piece of high handed impertinence in today's world, and she could not, or at any rate did not produce it.

IMHO posterity gained: Goddard made The Cat And The Canary alongside Bob Hope instead, a film I like much more than GWTW, and went on to make the equally engaging The Ghost Breakers with Hope in 1940. For all the glittering stardom which GWTW brought her, Vivian Leigh's life story was ultimately a wretched and sad one. Paulette Goddard went on to enjoy a rich, if chequered life, including 20 years of marraige to Erich Maria Remarque, author of All Quiet On The Western Front. She was also married to Burgess Meredith, the actor. Her own film career was pretty good as well, GWTW notwithstanding.:cool:

The word paparazzi is derived from a character in the 1960 film "La Dolce Vita"(The Sweet life). Paparazzo is a unscrupulous and determined free-lance photographer,the film starred Anita Eckberg and featured a young Ilona Staller (La Ciccolina).
