I knew that from reading books about people shooting them in India.

Stevland Hardaway Judkinsie Wonder is only 72.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

He started out as a child sensation.

"Little" Stevie Wonder.

[Nightjar]

He was only 20 when he recorded his 13th studio album - the first album where he wrote (along with Syreeta Wright) all of his own songs and (I'm pretty sure) played virtually all of the instruments himself.

Puts things in perspective dunnit.

Where I'm Coming From

We already did it I think.

Demi Lovato went back to being called a "she" from a "they" a few months ago. I can't keep up.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

The big gates from the original King Kong movie were also used in [1]Gone With the Wind[/i] where they were set fire to.

I had no idea the alien girl in Cocoon is Raquel Welch's daughter, Tahnee.

Sprouted potatoes are poisonous.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

I've eaten loads of sprouted potatoes.

It's never done me any harm at all.

[SiberianPrincess’sMidriff]

[Nightjar]

I know that.

The leaves of the potato plant are also really toxic.

The whole 'don't eat the green bits on a potato' isn't a legendary myth like Unicorns and QPR ebing in the 1st Division once, but real - all too real!

In fact, the potato - like all nightshades - is poisonous in some way or another.

The potato, the aubergine, the pepper, the flongelschlurgen are all related to the deadly Michael Knightshade.

Be afraid - be very afraid!

Of a half man-half potato.

Or a potato.

When I was a kid and we lived in Whales we had a massive vegetable garden and one night the cows broke into it from the next farm and they trampled o'er everything and ate all of the nice brassicas and root vegetables and everything.

The only thing that was conspicuously left were the potato abovegroundage bits.

The farmer came by next day to apologise and told us that if the cows had eaten them they'd all be dead.

Clever cows.

[SiberianPrincess’sMidriff]

Then why isn't Wendy dead?


Or maybe she, is…

[Nightjar]

I'm pretty sure she's a potato.

[Fangirl Three]

I always just dig any sprouted bits out with the potato peeler, and disdainfully slice off the green bits, discarding both.

I know that.

The potato, the aubergine, the pepper...

You missed out their closest relative, the tomato.

Each year when my potato plants had stopped making potatoes, and flowered, when the flowers finished there'd be little green tomato-like fruits on them, containing the potato seeds. THESE FRUITS ARE VERY POISONOUS!

[Nightjar]

Ooh, yeahrr, I forgot about those evil little tomayto-potarto thingies.

[Butterfield]

Switzerland's flag is officially square - the only square national flag in the world.

I went there in 2004 and never even noticed.

Apparently D*nald Tr*mp used "Electric Avenue" in some of his advertisements in 2020.

Somewhat unsurprisingly, Eddy Grant sued.
