Reply to TIL in the 1920s, Coco Chanel accidentally got a tan, and helped inspire the trend of sunbathing. Soon "sunlight therapy" was prescribed for almost every ailment from fatigue to tuberculosis. Before this, tanned skin was associated with the lower classes who work outside, and fair skin was revered. by Pfeffer_Prinz
Back in the day, the rich ate and the poor went hungry, so skinny people were looked down on and fatter people were treated as royalty. My how fads and trends change

From what I've seen in tech, and everywhere else in the world, the W's aren't really used anymore, it's just whatever-dot-com

(Ladies, I'm sure this happens to you more than guys)
Don't ya hate it when you have to go sit in a public restroom to do your business and the seat is still warm from the previous occupant?

OK. So W has 3 syllables BUT the words world, wide & web only have 1 syllable each SO, theoretically, it takes longer the say the abbreviation 'WWW' than it does to say the words 'world wide web.'

Reply to TIL that the reason Yankee Doodle stuck a feather in his cap and called it 'macaroni' was because at one time macaroni was slang for something very fashionable or trendy by elephantsgraveyard
I've always known my meals are fashionable and trendy. First macaroni, then chicken nuggets. Living the dream here folks :)

Reply to TIL The Rocky Horror Picture Show is still in limited release after 47 years making it the longest-running theatrical release in film history by shakeyjake
The number of stars we choose to give this movie is irrelevant, the point I was going for was that audience participation makes it a much better experience.

Face it, the movie kinda sucked. Audience participation is where it's at. About 20 years ago, my gf at the time, we went to Blockbuster (remember those?) and rented a copy. We watched it, i practiced the lines, I learned when to throw what items at the screen, all that good stuff. After a few days of practice we went to the theater. If you didn't know the moves, it was very obvious. People referred to 1st timers as 'losing their virginity.' Being inside the theater and being part of the audience was a silly yet exhilarating experience. I've only done that once. It's nothing I look to do again, it was kinda her thing. But I am glad I did it once.
