Random Trivia From legoslayer10 and Others

One:
The instance of a rogue mod mass-banning Bronies on 4chan a long time ago, leaves an example of Internet Rule #19 (The more you hate it, the stronger it gets):
When the hatred towards Bronies was festering, a rogue moderator mass-banned all posters in the MLP:FiM threads, including simple haters.
After the Bronies were sent into exile, they sought to find new homes. Ponychan and other message boards dedicated to the congregation of Bronies were created. This lead to greater growth of the fandom in the long run.
Two:
I am the best Kratos player on Mortal Kombat (2011), at least in the North American area. I cannot say for certain if I am the Kratos of the world.

I have no idea if dear Insuperable still plays MK9, and if he does, Kratos is not likely to be one of his primary characters.
Trivia:
The people at Santa Monica Studios compared Kratos to a Mortal Kombat character during his development.
Some of the people at Santa Monica Studios were former Midway employees.

Ok, some real trivia that I stumbled upon and am regurgitating-
In 1932 Australia was experience one of its driest years on record, this was devastating to wildlife, however farmers in Western Australia managed to make due with irrigation. Now, a group of animals took notice of this; 20,000 Emus. These Emus surged into the farmland and began eating up the all the crops. Despondent farmers with nothing else to do called the military for aide, and so the Australian military was dispatched to deal with the emus.
Resources assigned to the expedition consisted of two Lewis machine guns, 10,000 bullets, and a pair of gunners under the command of Major G.P.W. Meredith. A Fox Movietone cinematographer was sent along to film the highlights. Arriving in the town of Campion on November 2, 1932, Meredith's troops drew first blood in a skirmish later that day, then established base camp on a local farm. The emus tended to stay near tree cover, making them unexpectedly difficult to shoot. On November 4 an ambush of 1,000 emus went awry when the machine gun jammed after only a dozen kills. An attempt to chase them with a truck-mounted gun likewise failed, as the gunner was too busy hanging on for dear life to squeeze off a single shot.
By November 8 the army had reportedly used 2,500 rounds of ammunition to kill just 200 emus, leading the prime minister to suspend the campaign while anti-emu forces regrouped. When one politician facetiously suggested that the troops be awarded medals, another retorted that the medals should go to the emus, since they had “won every round so far.”
A renewed assault beginning on November 13 wasn’t noticeably more effective, with a meager kill rate of 100 emus a week. The enemy proved to be fast, smart, and (Meredith insisted) capable of surviving multiple bullet wounds.
By early December emu incursions had subsided, due more to the wheat harvest than casualties. Hostilities ceased on December 10. The official final tally: 9,860 bullets to kill 986 emus, an implausible ratio of exactly ten bullets per emu. (Meredith contended many more emus had crawled away to die unseen.) The embarrassed government resisted calls to repeat the experiment over the next decade or so and instead adopted a more successful policy of supplying farmers with free ammunition and setting a bounty on the birds.
However, because "victory" against the Emus was essentially impossible as it was really just slaughter, and the fact that the army was so inefficient and was ultimately recalled after killing less than 1,000 of the 20,000 that had ravaged the countryside, people began to snicker that "Australia had lost the Emu War."

Jagermeister was originally intended to be a brand of cough syrup.
If you type in "zerg rush" on Google, Google will essentially 'eat' your web page. On a similar note, if you search 'do a barrel roll', Google will do just that- turn a full 360 degrees clockwise. (This is assuming you have a machine with the ability to detect this.
The only animal aside from humans with the ability to cry is the elephant. Additionally, they are among the few land animals known to die,and continue standing.
The Falcon Punch was a maneuver specifically made for Super Smash Bros., and only appeared in the anime when Captain Falcon had to fully destroy Black Shadow, at the cost of his own life.
Cloud (of Final Fantasy VII fame) had a massive sword known as the buster sword- this sword is actually a total of 4 different blades screwed together to further make something Final Fantasy related more ridiculous, but also served a small role in blade-changing during the animated movie "Final Fantasy VII; Advent Children".
Fus Ro Dah is actually not fully based on it's translation, but is related to a Spartan battle cry that was used in the various battles against the Persians where a loud screech from the ranks at once would seemingly slow down arrows, and was incorporated into their battle system. Another famous use is the infamous "Rebel Yell', a screech used by the Confederacy during the American Civil War to distort the battle styles of the Union, was incorporated into the shout system.
In Portal 2, by using a massive stream of 'Portal Bombing" and momentum swirls, one can actually find the 'cake room', and create an alternate ending to the game by placing a Companion Cube over the cake. This would prevent the robotic arm from being able to put out the candle, and would lead to being unable to progress in the game, and even occasional game crashes/ freezes.

False! The Buster Sword is 1 single blade. It's a novelty sword, Angeal's Parents bought him. Only Zack, and Cloud actually use it in battle. It is now Zack's grave marker.
The Fusion Swords in Advent Children is 6 swords that looks like the Buster Sword when locked together, not 4. I suppose you could count the mirrored swords as 2 dual sets.

The ORIGINAL Buster sword as used by Zack Fair and Cloud was a single massive blade. In Advent Children, the sword is split into a mass of connectable blades. And I only eve noticed a fuull 4, but don't doubt a total of 6.

More trivia of yours truly:
I am one of hundreds of thousands of people who touched the Stanley Cup and has a picture (coming to me on Monday) that proves it. And that happened twenty minutes ago.
I think abstract art isn't art at all.
I also think singing isn't a talent either. (You can disagree whatever you like, but if everyone can do it, well or not, it's not talent, but you're still singing)
I was the only percussionist in my entire band to go to state, as well as the only senior who had a solo and an ensemble piece for their last competition and won first place in both. (Basically, I was the only one who actually gave a fuck in band)
Despite you already know this, I am diagnosed with Syncope, which is actually rare in America but most common in Europe.
