    The "quotes" around "Crocodile" in the title were added for the American release to ensure people didn't think that Dundee was a crocodile.

    And yes, I'm watching Crocodile Dundee 2 :D

    THE MOTHER AND CHILD REUNION?

    http://www.snopes.com/music/songs/motherchildreunion.asp

    Know where the words came from on that? You would never have guessed. I was eating in a Chinese restaurant downtown. There was a dish called "Mother and Child Reunion." It's chicken and eggs. And I said, "Oh, I love that title. I gotta use that one."
    Simon wasn't pulling his interviewer's leg: chicken-and-egg dishes

    known as "mother and child reunion" or "mother-daughter reunion" are not uncommon menu items at Chinese restaurants. According to the "New York Rock-N-Roll Trivia Map," the specific eatery where Simon made this fortuitous culinary discovery was Say Eng Look Restaurant in New York City's Chinatown district.

    Maybe on the same theme - Paul McCartney has said that his most covered song 'Yesterday' started out as 'Scrambled Eggs'. (How I'd love to have some scrambled eggs)'

    Actually, in the day he was quite nasty. But the media, being the media, have sanitised his past accordingly.

    Useless Trivial facts

    You will be labelled a terrorist if you oppose the status quo.

    Like Julian Assange, Chelsea (Ne Bradley) Manning, Edward Snowdon et al

    If Thomas Jefferson were around today, he would also be labelled a terrorist.

    According to the US of A - I am a terrorist. Why? Because I purchased a Wikki Leaks t-shirt, thus financially aiding a terrorist organisation. True Story!

    True story. I had a relative that was labelled as a terrorist back in the day because he fought the government, but they won their cause, so he became a decorated hero.

    More Americans are killed every year by their domestic police force than by terrorists.

    The CIA is the globes most prolific - and horrific - terrorist organisation.

    Osama Bin Laden was trained and supplied by the CIA.

    Osama bin ladens family were flown out of the USA on Sept 11 2001 - theirs was the only plane left in the air, and left alone - after the rest of the civilian fleet was grounded.

    Oops. Not so trivial. :mad:

    I didnt label him a terrorist, I said he was a nasty man. I will rephrase it though, just for you.
    He was an evil bastard.

    Dont know where you get your logic from, I sure as hell dont get your meaning in these last few rants.

    I don't know who rattled your cage? Julie called him a terrorist. That is where that came from. Or did you think everything revolved around you?

    How much bollox can you put out in 1 post dude?

    I deleted your picture from my reply....... Nigga gone retard? Really? You talk that sort of shit? Racist, ableist BS.

    This is why we can't have nice things. :/

    Mandela was a terrorist, but this is useful fact. A useless fact on the other hand is the volume of a pizza, which for a pizza of radius "z" and thickness "a" is pi.z.z.a
