Things I learn't today (Part 2)

Christopher Nolan spent $100K to plant 500 acres of real corn in Alberta (instead of using CGI to recreate a field).

He then sold the corn for a profit after filming. Remains most profitable commodities trade in Hollywood history.

Did that include the rental of the field for planting?

Somebody planting a field full of corn in Alberta and then making a profit from it wouldn’t be that big of news if you ask me.

The land in Longview/Pekisko, Alberta was offered free of charge by Local Authorities as part of the incentive programme to bring filming to the area.

I’m even less surprised so that he turned a profit.

I suppose that he bothered at all is the real news here.

Think I’ll go out to Alberta…

Baz Ashmawy was born in Libya.

Hartlepool United were formerly called Hartlepools United. This was their name when Brian Clough managed them between 1965 and 1967. The name changed to Hartlepool in 1968 and then Hartlepool United in 1977.

Who hung the monkey?

Wes Holohan was plying his trade there in 2021. Hardly Barcelona levels….

There are nine players on a baseball team.

The bowling team in baseball needs to get three players from the batting team out to bowl a team out in an innings.

That’s surprising. Always seemed a lot more of the cunts in the dug out or when they have those all-in melees.

We are all born in Labia mate
