American jazz and soul giant Quincey Jones wrote the mockney classic Get a Bloomin' Move On (AKA The Self-Preservation Society). Apparently, he is fascinated with cockney rhyming slang and wrote the song to amuse the crew whilst working on The Italian Job, never thinking that it would be included in the film.
Sylvester Stallone wrote and directed the film "Stayin Alive"
Fuck off did he!
Certainly did. Already had an Oscar for Rocky as well.
And Michael Douglas got an Oscar for producing One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest in 1975.
Stallone's trajectory is really interesting! He wrote all the Rocky movies except for Creed, loads of his big hits (Cliffhanger, Over The Top, Cobra among others), directed Rockys 2,3,4 and 6, the fourth Rambo and the first Expendables.
His time in the movie wilderness at the turn of the century was largely down to his desperation for the public to take him more seriously, he hated being associated with the dumbass Balboa and the monosyllabic Rambo so he made shitty movies that made him look good (Driven, Daylight, even Tango and Cash saw him wear a pair of glasses and look studious).
He eventually realised how lucky he was to own those two characters, so he embraced them (hence Rocky 6 and Rambo 4), which bought him a ticket back into the big time with a three-movie deal that led to the likes of the The Expendables.
But it's no coincidence that Creed is probably the best Rocky script since the first one - Sly knows how to write an action movie, and he knows how to make Rocky and Adrian shout at each other. But that's about it!
You can use just one. Makes it a bugger to work out where the borders are, mind.
For a long time, this (only need four colours to not have the same colour bordering itself) couldn't be disproved empirically but it took ages for the mathematical proof to be found (http://nrich.maths.org/6291).
The Panzer 35(t) tanks used by the nazis in Poland, France and Russia were built by Skoda.
The Czechs and the French, with the Char B, had better tanks than the Germans, but the Germans acquired the Czech tanks and knew how to use their tanks properly, whereas the French didn't.

There are are no roads called a road in The City of London.
Is Farringdon Road in The City?
No. Think about it's position in relation to Ludgate Circus, it's in effect a boundary rather than in the City (& its partly the old River Fleet valley concreted over, the river being the old boundary)

James Fixx the man who wrote "the complete book of running" in 1977 and started the craze for non runners to become joggers. He also pointed out the benefits to health.
Unfortunately James died of a massive heart attack when out jogging in 1984.

Of course without the exercise he would probably have died years earlier. So not really weird but a paean to exercise.

And has a festival of the Penis in Spring, Kanamara Matsuri,
Škoda with an upper case Š means “Too bad!”
(I suppose we might translate this to 'That's a shame')
With a lower case š the meaning changes to “damage, harm, injure”
Their word for shame is apparently 'Ostuda'
A quick Google found Škoda was actually just the name of the founder.

Some birds can "turn-off" half their brain mid-flight. This allows some species, such as the alpine swift to fly for over half a year without landing.

Now that is a useless fact.
So a mate used to tell everyone...
A man, a plan, a canal, Panama.
Which is not a palindrome.

True fact that...never did find out why but got slapped a few times.
