Today's Dippit!

Quote

“Sing like no one’s listening, love like you’ve never been hurt, dance like nobody’s watching, and live like it’s heaven on earth.” 


(Attributed to various sources)


Joke

Why did the old man fall in the well? Because he couldn't see that well!


Fun Fact

There are more than 24 time zones around the world.

 

If the Earth's time zones were each one hour apart, then we would have 24 times zones, which sounds pretty straightforward. However, the situation is a little more complicated than that. Since many time zones only differ by 30 or 45 minutes, they don't fit into a neat and tidy 24 hour span, which means that there are more than 24, though it's hard to say exactly how many.


Reading Fact

There are over 129 million books in existence.


According to Google, 129,864,880 million books had been published as of 2010. That number is obviously a lot higher now. So when you say out loud “Ugh, can’t find a good book to read,” know that you have a lot to choose from.


History Fact

The Iron Maiden Wasn't a Thing

 

No, this supposed torture device never actually existed. The widespread medieval use is a classic 18th-century myth, supported because of the perceptions that the Middle Ages were a widely uncivilized era of violence and mayhem. (They were bad, but not that bad.)


Movie/TV Trivia

Showgirls still holds the record for most Razzie (anti-Oscars) nominations with 13. Paul Verhoeven was the first director to collect the award for Worst Picture in person.


Movie/TV Quote

"Don't run. Nobody exists on purpose, nobody belongs anywhere, everybody's gonna die. Come watch TV."


Rick & Morty

  

Though it probably seems dark to other people, it's important to remember that sometimes you've just got to let shit go, pick yourself up, and move the fuck on.


Conversation Starter

Who was the first band or musician you were really into? Do you still like them?
