    The moaning sounds you hear in the song Rocket Queen by Guns N Roses were actually sounds of Steve Adler's GF having sex with Axl Rose.

    One of my first jobs in my line of work was as a "runner". Basically a production assistant. Make coffee, copies, pick up lunch for the crew. But one of the coolest things I got to do was pick up and drive the announcers around. '99 playoffs were going on when I first started. Picked up the likes of Coach John Thompson, Danny Ainge, Cheryl Miller, Bob Costas,Coach Fratello and Marv Albert.

    I was taking Fratello and Marv to Jakes once and as we pulled up along side Spartacus (the whips and chains place on Burnside)......Fratello leans over to me and says, "You can pick up Mr. Albert at that place around back later on." I wanted to laugh so bad! Marv looked at me, flipped me a $20 and said, "Shhhhhh" with a huge smile on his face.

    There are 923 words in the English language that break the "i before e" rule. Only 44 words actually follow that rule.

    Probably just because someone registered that domain name and had it redirect just to fuck with people.
