An actor received a note from a lady who had recently watched one of his films made years before. In the dialogue, a missing sock was mentioned. This, the lady wrote, reminded her that she had laundry that needed to be put in the dryer and she was writing to thank him.

They like to change things up.

| I was working in my office when I first saw the Turkey Bros under Mrs. Krabappel. Curiously, they were going clockwise around the house heading back to the woods. Usually, it is counter-clockwise. |

Fun fact: Brett was considered for the James Bond role of 007 after Sean Connery bailed in 1968. Brett turned it down, worried it would hurt his career and the role went to George Lazenby who made only one, rather forgettable Bond film.

A truly unique and unusual reptile. We were watching an Attenborough show about them and it was brought up that an ancient belief thought they were made by the devil, put together with spare parts of many animals: the tail of a monkey, the skin of a crocodile, the
tongue of a toad, the horns of a rhinoceros and the eyes of a who knows
what?!
Panther Chameleon
This show had dreadful closed captioning: throughout the entire doc, chameleons was translated as comedians dozens of time resulting in sometimes hilarious, sometimes v bad sentences.
When I was a kid, I loved this hilarious Looney Tunes short:

The Jurassic Coast
A 95-mile long stretch of coastline in southern England, situated within the counties of Dorset and Devon. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site recognised for its outstanding rocks, fossils and landforms.
The Jurassic coast came to prominence due to Mary Anning (21 May 1799 – 9 March 1847). She was an English fossil collector, dealer and palaeontologist who became known around the world for the discoveries she made in Jurassic marine fossil beds in the cliffs along the English Channel. Anning's findings contributed to changes in scientific thinking about prehistoric life and the history of the Earth.
One distinctive fossil from the Coast are Ammonites, a cephalopod and ancestor of current day chambered nautilus.

We were watching another Attenborough doc about the earliest ancestors of birds. They were reptiles who evolved in order to increase their ability to eat flying insects. The first one had extra flaps of skin on both sides of their bodies which let them glide in the air like flying squirrels. Eventually, these flaps became attached to arm-like extensions which could be moved up and down allowing them to fly and navigate through a forest. Ultimately, these flaps turned into feathers.
These critters came in all sizes. The biggest was a pterosaur called Quetzalcoatlus whose wingspan reached 40 feet! By comparison:
Once again with a Attenborough doc, there were terrible CC. One gem: "but this pterosaur wasn't just eating incense". Uhh that was supposed to be "insects". Another was if the critters were making some sound, the captioners would post "thank you". LOL WTF! 
Yikes!

Another doc concerned fireflies. They mentioned "talking to fireflies" something I had never heard of. C said some colleagues at school had talked about it using flashlights. I laughingly joked that there could be some pretty upset female fireflies who thought they were communicating with a potential mate only to find it some damn ape! More on talking to the bugs:
