Ten Weird Facts
I've been running into some seriously weird stuff, so here they are. We can be weirded out, or amazed, together.
1. The Aztecs used to turn their babies into jerky, and then live off of them when they crossed deserts.
2. Seven people fainted in France when "Eyes Without A Face" debuted in theaters in 1960.
3. Micheal Meyer's mask was inspired by the mask in "Eyes Without A Face."
4. When Giotto painted, he used egg yolk to make gold paint.
5. In one of the versions of Sleeping Beauty, there were vampires.
6. There is a version of Cinderella in almost every country.
7. Victor Hugo's "The Man Who Laughs" inspired DC's Joker.
8. Danvers State Hospital, also known as The Danvers Lunatic Asylum, inspired H.P. Lovecraft's "The Thing On the Doorstep," which in turn inspired Arkham Asylum in the Batman universe.
9. The tattoo across John Wick's back is Latin: "Fortis Fortuna Adiuvat," meaning Fortune Favors the Bold. It comes from the 3rd Battalion Marine base in Kaneohe Bay in Hawaii, and is a nod to Keanu Reeves' Hawaiian heritage, and to John Wick's past life.
10. Pinto beans can last 100 years. You can't boil them and eat them normally, but you can crush them into bean flour and use it to make bean pie, bean cake, bean pudding, bean pop, and all that nasty stuff. It's supposed to taste good, but I'm not vouching for that.
