Garbanzo beans pop when you soak them.

... sometimes. I have soaked them before and never had this happen, but I soaked a bag a couple hours ago and kept hearing this popping sound coming from the kitchen. After a minute of confusion I realized it was coming from the bowl of beans on the counter. Google says it's a real thing, so I'm glad it's not aliens.

evolutionarily, the clitoris is just a penis that has atrophied in the womb
that's why it's so sensitive...in either sex, all the pleasure sensors are on that one organ
or so says Stephen Jay Gould

Jimi Hendrix was discharged from the Army, in part, for jerking it.

For decades, the "conventional wisdom"[2] has been that the first high five occurred between Dusty Baker and Glenn Burke of the Los Angeles Dodgers on Oct. 2, 1977 in Dodger Stadium.[2]

It was the last day of the regular season, and Dodgers leftfielder Dusty Baker had just gone deep off the Astros' J.R. Richard. It was Baker's 30th home run, making the Dodgers the first team in history to have four sluggers -- Baker, Ron Cey, Steve Garvey and Reggie Smith -- with at least 30 homers each. It was a wild, triumphant moment and a good omen as the Dodgers headed to the playoffs. Burke, waiting on deck, thrust his hand enthusiastically over his head to greet his friend at the plate. Baker, not knowing what to do, smacked it. "His hand was up in the air, and he was arching way back," says Baker, "So I reached up and hit his hand. It seemed like the thing to do."[2]


After retiring from baseball, Burke, who was one of the first openly homosexual professional athletes, used the high five with other homosexual residents of the Castro district of San Francisco, where for many it became a symbol of gay pride and identification.[2]

He became a huge film producer because he conned a Miss Rome to marry him and he produced her movies. Dude could sell ice to an Eskimo.

Corn kernels can be subject to heat in such a way that steam builds up until a critical pressure. The result can be seasoned with sodium chloride and a synthetic oil and sold for a considerable margin at a movie theater

Platinum rings with prongs or detail are likely to be magnetic because they use cobalt in their alloy. Plain platinum bands are most likely not magnetic because they use iridium.
