Other video games, TV shows, movies, general chit-chat...this is an all-purpose off-topic board where you can talk about anything that doesn't have its own dedicated section.

The law states that more than 3000 sheep cannot be herded down Hollywood Blvd. at any one time.
I would love to see someone try to herd 2999 sheep’s down Hollywood Blvd...

In California, it is illegal to tie your giraffe to a telephone poll. :lol:

Also, in the U.S. Pentagon, they have enough telephone wire to go around the world 4.5 times.

You'd be surprised at some of the weird laws that are still on the books from some strange incident but are no longer actively enforced despite never being repealed.

Tom Cruise attended 15 schools before he was 14 yrs old.

Because he was ?dyslexic? His teachers thought he was stupid because he had trouble reading.
?Dyslexia? is also the reason why he loves Scientology. Cruise claims that Scientology cured him of his dyslexia.
HE'S USING HYPNOSIS!
