There's countless bits of info out there, info that doesn't necessarily warrant a topic of its own but simply takes up a sentence.

Bits like this one from Arkwright...

Darrow Fletcher was Rose Battiste's cousin for those who already didn't know that amazing mind-boggling snippet of information :D

c'mon let's see what other amazing mind-boggling snippets of info there is :D

Let's try again.....does nobody have any little snippets of info to share, the sort that doesn't take a paragraph to write??

I've also seen the odd comment that people scared to ask a question for fear of being laughed at/belittled...not here you won't so ask away no matter how trivial you might think it is.

Did you learn such facts on your recent visit to the city of culture?

The Black Arrow (Gil Heron) joined Celtic in 1951 and scored on his debut.

Affraid not

Roger E. Mosley as Theodore Calvin, a.k.a. "T.C.": a helicopter pilot who operates a tourist charter business called Island Hoppers, wherein he pilots a Hughes 500D helicopter, decked out with distinctive livery. A former Marine Corps helicopter pilot in Vietnam, T.C.'s combat-trained flight skills are often solicited and put to good use by Magnum during the course of an investigation. T.C. is also powerfully built, a trait which Magnum often benefits from when he expects to, and often does, run into physical trouble. With the exception of some early season 1 episodes, T.C. avoids alcohol, instead preferring milk, soda, or juice, but mostly coffee. He often called Higgins "Higgy Baby." The episode Missing Melody refers to his daughter who has been kidnapped. His ex-wife is called Tina and he has a son.

After leaving the music business, Tami Lynn became a 737 pilot for a commercial airline.

PS... Wouldn't this thread be better suited to A.A.T.S.

I went to the city of chicago website once to pay a parking ticket and on the site a page caught my eye, it was a list of people who owed the city the most money for water. i thought it was funny and opened it up and there was an "ernest mosley" on there owing the city over $10,000 for water.

I don't think they are the exact same group, search for a thread here about the technics, there is an LP that has a bunch of info on the back about the technics and someone reposted it here.
