Random Fun Facts
#1
I was reading about Christopher Guest today, as a result of references to Spinal Tap in another thread.

I came across some info I did not know about him, and it gave me the idea to start a thread where people can just post random facts they find interesting. (Only real facts please, not made up shit, let's not join the rest of the crazies proclaiming there are no such things as facts any more!) You can expand or comment on the facts others post or just reply with your own random fun fact.

So, here is the first random fun fact:

Christopher Guest is married to Jamie Lee Curtis.
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.

Continuing off what you said.

Guest was Count Rugen in "The Princess Bride". His "boss" was the prince in that movie and that was Chris Sarandon, the ex-husband of Susan Sarandon. So the main two villains in that movie had/has a more famous wife.

In the film There's Something About Mary, Brett Farve's role was originally offered to Steve Young. He declined the offer because he thought the story was too raunchy.

You won't get it.  Many birds including eagles, falcons and hummingbirds are rumored to do this but they don't.  What people have seen but misinterpreted is actually foreplay but the mating doesn't take place in the air, because it can't.  Why can't it?  Another "fun" fact.

Male birds don't have penises.  I don't know which is worse, not having one or being like a certain species of sea slug that actually ejects its penis from it's body to mate.  Of course that slug is found near Japan.  Why a friend of mine knew that is beyond me but now, so do you.

That's the Utah coming out of him.
