The Ultimate Trivia Thread
The purpose of this thread is simple: To eventually compile a massive collection of trivia. The rules for this thread are as follows:
- Each poster provides exactly one piece of trivia in a post. - The trivia may concern any topic except for those that are appropriate for the Politics and Religion Forum. - After someone has made a post, he/she must wait until someone else has posted before he/she can post again. This is to encourage more people to post. I hope you find this thread interesting. I'll start with the following: Mel Blanc was the original voice of Woody Woodpecker. Addition to original rules: Since many people, myself included, enjoy responding to previous trivia posts to add even more related information, I'm adding the following to the thread rules: - You can add to the trivia of a previous post by quoting the original and adding information as long as you also include a new piece of unrelated trivia. Last edited by Solitaire1; 12-04-2014 at 12:06 PM. Reason: An addition the rules. |

I'm relying on my memory (and it was a long time ago (but those were fun times)) but didn't Woody Allen play James Bond's son -- also named James Bond?
