Dumb, meaningless, trivia

Everyone knows some useless facts- stuff that is interesting- meaningless, but interesting. I will start with a dumb one:

Byron Hadley, the lead prison guard in The Shawshank Redemption is the voice of Mr.Krabs on the Spongebob Squarepants show, and remember the show Coach? The dumb blonde guy Dawber is the voice of Patrick on Spongebob

Might be better known as President Palmer in 24 and as Jonas in the Unit.

When I first saw that was Clancy Brown as Mr Krabs, I had to confirm it. It is

He is also in the movie Jarheads when the two snipers are about to take the shot he comes running in.

In the movie "50 First Dates" Dan Aykroyd is showing Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore and her family around the hospital, he says funding is made possible by Tommy Callahan from Sandusky, Ohio. Tommy Callahan, is of course, a reference and tribute to their friend Chris Farley, who was Tommy Callahan from Sandusky, Ohio in Tommy Boy. Which also had Aykroyd in a small role.

When you have lost something; you always find it in the last place you look.

Largest living thing on earth... General Sherman, Sequia tree in CA. 3 times the weight of a blue whale!

(planet Earth, lots of trivia there)

This little piece of wisdom might just save your life someday...

You can drink your own urine three times before it becomes toxic.

Just keep it in mind if you are ever standed in the desert and are getting a little thirsty.


Bad idea, though. If dying of thirst, urine contains high amounts of sodium, which will make you thirstier.

Aircraft carriers get 6" per a gallon of gas.


I don't see how that can happen now days seeing as most if not all of them are nuclear powered.


I am a salty old sailor, and I think the USS Nimitz is the only one NOT nuke. The ship I was on was a diesel

    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
    • We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity. 
    • I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
