Some interesting facts about television that I found on the internet (are they true? I have no idea. But I found the information on the internet - it must be true, right?)
- According to legend, there's a Superman in every episode of Seinfeld.
- In the movie 'The Wizard Of Oz', Toto the dog's salary was $125 a week, while Judy Garland's was $500 a week.
- One in every 4 Americans has appeared on television.
- The Muppet Show was banned from Saudi Arabian TV because one if its stars was a pig.
- If you have three quarters, four dimes, and four pennies, you have $1.19.You also have the largest amount of money in coins without being able to make change for a dollar.
Sorry, I know that last one wasn't exactly an interesting television fact, but I had to throw it in there.
Disclaimer - apart from the last random fact (which can be proven mathematically), I cannot vouch for the accuracy of any of the aforementioned facts. In fact, I doubt they are true simply because the web site where I found them also listed the following as facts . . .
- Five Jell-O flavors that flopped: celery, coffee, cola, apple, and chocolate
- Internationally, Baywatch is the most popular TV show in history
- The cigarette lighter was invented before the match
- In 10 minutes, a hurricane releases more energy than all the world's nuclear weapons combined
THERE IS JUST NO WAY THESE ARE TRUE!! Baywatch? No way! Celery Jell-O? Are you kidding me?
What do you think?
***I feel the need to source the two websites from which I got this information, even though most of it strikes me as false: here and here.
