    The "Did You Know..." Thread

    Post up....

    Did you know that Clint Eastwood wrote many of the theme songs from his movies? He also sang many of them.


    Did you know that the inventor of the brazziere was named Otto von Titsling?

    The longest word you can touch-type "properly" using only your left hand is "typewriter"...

    Oh my. It's an urban legend thread! How 'bout y'all verify these little factoids before you post 'em, or is it going to be a contest to separate the true from false?

    Might wanna try "Stewardess"... Close to "Typewriter" but, of course, the typewriter is not as cute or correct for that matter.

    Not true. Just look down at your keyboard.

    Got a question. What is the term for the definition of a word that can be typed only using one hand?

    I believe the technical term for one-handed typing is "Pornblogging", but I could be wrong.

    Did you know the longest word in the english language used to be antidisestablishmentarianism until 1992, when the word, floccinaucinihilipilification, came to be? However, practitioning advocates of disestablishmentarianism could be considered to be agents of counterantidisestablishmentarianism.

    Dammit... You'd think I would have noticed when I typed, wouldn't you...

    I'm just going to shut up and get on with translating these proposed Vehicross potentials from Japanese to English...

    Just a song by the divine miss M...

    Otto Titsling
    by Bette Midler
    from the album "Mud Will Be Slung Tonight"



    "This next story is a true story.
    It concerns two of my favorite subjects:
    industrial theft . . . and-a t-ts!
    Mmm, what a combo! This is the story . . .
    The inventor of the modern foundation garment
    that we women wear today was a German scientist
    and opera lover by the name of Otto Titsling!
    This is a true story.
    His name was Otto Titsling.
    What happened to Otto Titsling shouldn't happen to a schnauzer.
    It's a very sad story. I feel I have to share it with you."

    Otto Titsling, inventor and kraut,
    had nothing to get very worked up about.
    His inventions were failures, his future seemed bleak.
    He fled to the opera at least twice a week.

    One night at the opera he saw an Aida
    who's t-ts were so big they would often impede her.
    Bug-eyed he watched her fall into the pit,
    done in by the weight of those terrible t-ts.

    Oh, my god! There she blows!
    Aerodynamically this bitch was a mess.
    Otto eyeballed the diva lying comatose amongst the reeds,
    and he suddenly felt the fire of inspiration
    flood his soul. He knew what he had to do!
    He ran back to his workshop
    where he futzed and futzed and futzed.

    For Otto Titsling had found his quest:
    to lift and mold the female breast;
    to point the small ones to the sky;
    to keep the big ones high and dry!

    Every night he'd sweat and snort
    searching for the right support.
    He tried some string and paper clips.
    Hey! He even tried his own two lips!

    Well, he stitched and he slaved
    and he slaved and he stitched
    until finally one night, in the wee hours of morning,
    Otto arose from his workbench triumphant.
    Yes! He had invented the worlds first
    over-the-shoulder-boulder-holder. Hooray!

    Exhausted but ecstatic he ran
    down the street to the diva's house
    bearing the prototype in his hot little hand.
    Now, the diva did not want to try the darn thing on.
    But, after many initial misgivings,
    she finally did.
    And the sigh of relief that issued forth
    from the diva's mouth
    was so loud that it was mistaken by some
    to be the early onset of the Siroccan Winds
    which would often roll through the Schwarzwald
    with a vengeance!
    Ahhhhh-i!

    But little did Otto know,
    at the moment of his greatest triumph,
    lurking under the diva's bed
    was none other than the very worst
    of the French patent thieves,
    Philippe DeBrassiere.
    And Phil was watching the scene
    with a great deal of interest!

    Later that night, while our Brun Hilda slept,
    into the wardrobe Philippe softly crept.
    He fumbled through knickers and corsets galore,
    'til he found Otto's titsling and he ran out the door.

    Crying, "Oh, my god! What joy! What bliss!
    I'm gonna make me a million from this!
    Every woman in the world will wanna buy one.
    I can have all the goods manufactured in Taiwan."

    "Oh, thank you!"

    The result of this swindle is pointedly clear:
    Do you buy a titsling or do you buy a brassiere?

    "Ohhh! Thank you!"
