    I confess that I've always thought there was something intriguingly kinky about women who wear ankle bracelets.

    Well, yes, kinky in themselves, but I was thinking of the jewelry kind.

    A chemistry textbook in Sri Lanka features Jesse Pinkman (played by Aaron Paul in Breaking Bad) on the cover.

    It disturbs me to see any variety of people punching each other.

    I get a lot of ideas from where I think/hope a story is going to go but doesn't.

    I’m a complete wimp when it comes to violence. I think, as a male, I’m supposed to enjoy boxing/cage fighting, but no. Cage fighting especially depresses me.

    How is this legal? It clearly states you could win up to 2X, 5X or 10X the prize. Nowhere, not even in the small print on the back, does it say there’s a chance you’ll get a 1X - i.e no multiplier at all. Okay, I didn’t win anyway, but that’s not the point.

    That's why I ignore any advertisement that contains the phrase 'up to'. Technically, 1X is on the way up to 2X.

    Doug Ingle, keyboardist and vocalist for Iron Butterfly, wrote a tune and played it for Ron Bushy, the band’s drummer, who wrote it down as Doug slurred through his lyric, “In the Garden Of Eden”, after having consumed a gallon of Red Mountain wine. The mondegreen stuck and became the accepted title and lyric to the song - In a Gadda da Vida.

    And many years later, Bart Simpson restored those lyrics to their rightful glory

    I knew this story but this is the first time in my life I've seen this word. Thanks. Since I misunderstand song lyrics at least 50% of the time I'm sure it'll come in handy.

    Male elephants use their penis as a fifth leg to help support their weight. They can also use it to swat flies.

    If I ever heard of Iron Butterfly, I’ve forgotten them by now. Neither do I know this song but my Doors and similar mix on Spotify threw it out today first time ever. Great for exposure to a fine piece of music. Not so great for my digital paranoia.
