    It's a different actress playing Jennifer, Marty's girlfriend, too. They had to reshoot the scene from BTTF that's repeated at the start of BTTF II and everything. I didn't notice it was a different actress until I saw pictures of them both side by side :o They look fairly alike though...

    I learned that Richard Dean Anderson was still alive.
    I was a big fan of MacGuyver when I was a young 'un in the 90's.
    Several sources informed me that the actor was killed in a premature explosion while filming a scene and so that was the end of MacGuyver
    So sad :(
    I asked about this on boards before, I wasn't the only one who heard this story in 1992!

    I remember that was on after the first run of Macgyver (WHO THE FLUCK STARTED SPELLING IT LIKE THAT?? I've only just discovered that now after 30 years of spelling it "mcguyver" :(), but yeah, "Cover Up" it was called, (least I could spell that right!)
    It's there in the wikipedia link but he died after an on set accident when he shot himself with a 44.
    Richard Dean Anderson went off the radar for a while alright but then came back in Stargate SG1.

    I was told that 2Unlimited were killed in a crash, and then they disappeared.. :eek: (No great loss, but thought she was hot).
    Then found out years later, it wasn't a lie, it was just the wrong people. I was THESE GUYS whom i don't think many can remember, but they were around a the same time..

    The scenes side by side. (You may want to turn off the annoying annotations)

    Maybe it's not all that obvious, but pretty neat all the same....when tying your shoelaces, when you get to the bit where you go around the loops you made from left to right.....go around from right to left instead (it takes a bit of getting used to), you will have made the stronger version of the knot and your laces will not open until you untie them last thing at night!

    When I got to the part about loops I put on my flip flops.

    Or you could just tie another knot with the loops ;)

    I still can't believe that americans actually spell things the original english way and it's the english that later changed to be more like french type spelling, I used to think it was just the americans fooking up more shiit.
    The fault lies entirely with Noah Webster & co.

    Slowly, edition by edition, Webster changed the spelling of words, making them "Americanized". He chose s over c in words like defense, he changed the re to er in words like center, and he dropped one of the Ls in traveler. At first he kept the u in words like colour or favour but dropped it in later editions. He also changed "tongue" to "tung"—an innovation that never caught on

    Not a "recent" realisation, but my God one I should have figured out a lot sooner than I did.

    Basically when I was a child the idea of eating a chicken's unborn baby in the form of an egg didn't sit well with me at all. So my dad, thinking the protein was good for me or whatever says no, chickens routinely dump eggs all over the farm yard which are meant as food, and that the baby chickens will only ever be laid in the nest. In other words the chicken lays two completely different types of egg, one that's an unborn baby, and the other that tastes great boiled with milk and butter to dip your toast into.

    OK, a child of five might buy that (I know I did) but sweet Jesus I was a grown adult of voting age before it dawned on me the old man was just trying to get a fussy child to shut up and eat his breakfast :o

    "Hotmail" is just html with vowels.
    "Alphabet" comes from alpha and beta, the first two letters of the greek alphabet.
    Tension comes from tense ions.
    "Spandex" is the syllables of "expand" swapped around.
    You say something's your favourite because you favour it.
    M and Q in Bond stand for Management and Quartermaster.

    That pair having the affair in Fair City are in-laws! Now I have watched that storyline develop with bated breath for the last few months and not once did I make the connection that Judy is the Sister in Law of Luke, I just thought he and Tommy were good mates from way back, it took that toad faced secretary to put me straight!
