[sooperhooper]

What's his real name?

Birth name is God Shammgod. People didn't like calling him that, so in high school he started going Shammgod Wells, which was his mom's last name. When he got to college he was required to go by his real name and he wasn't able to pay to get it legally changed.

 

[kdawg]

Someone needs to confirm this asap.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Speaking of God Shamgod, good convo here.

 

[Mark Antony]

I'm sure it could work, except there's that sharp piercing edge on the long side.

He won person of the Century as voted by Time magazine and millions of votes in 1999. But originally the voters had Jesus Christ and

"The Nature Boy" Ric Flair in the top spots.

The media and magazine ultimately stated that the votes for Flair and Jesus violated the "spirit" of the title. and were removed.

Third Place (before the removal) was Hitler. Argument for Hitler was the Time's explicit criterion that the persons chosen should have the greatest impact on this century, for better or worse.

after the removal and the final results had

ghandi (2nd) and

FDR(3rd)

A lot of restrooms don’t even have paper towel dispensers anymore.

I never use those dumb things. I’ll just wipe it on my pants half the time and look like I peed myself.

I thought about making this (random facts) thread for the sports section but ehhh.


-If you’re on the NY Yankees you’re not allowed to have a beard or moustache

-there’s a deluxe big bathroom in the Atlanta braves players locker rooms that’s only allowed for players who have been on the team for at least four years

 

[shogun]

The yankees allow you to have a mustache. Can’t have any other facial hair except very short stubble and that little soul patch like stanton. It’s a very outdated rule and wonder if they would trade or release a player who didn’t want to follow it.

 

[frink85]

Obligatory

 

[shogun]

I looked it up and don mattingly was benched because his hair was too long and he didn’t want to cut it.

In Muslim speaking countries in their hotels they don’t have a Bible in the drawers like western nations but some have a direction showing where to pray

 

[Nouss]

Muslim isn't a language but a cool fact nonetheless.

Arabs make up less than 15% of all Muslims.

Countries with the largest Muslim populations are Indonesia and India, both with over 200 million adherents. Nigeria has 100 mil+.
