Some facts really stick with you over the years even after you have forgotten so much else.

When I was an undergrad, I took a Science Fiction and Fantasy Literature course. The professor was fantastic. She gave us lots of little tidbits about the authors including about Cordwainer Smith's psychological warfare ploy in the Korean War. I remembered it well and looked for it on the internet to make sure I got it correct for today's lecture. It is not som**hing you may have found just looking on Wikipedia. You had to know what you are looking for to find it.

So, I would like you all to post an interesting fact tidbit about your favorite show, movie, author that you heard and remember. Who knows 10-15 years from now, we may remember that fact just as much as I remember about Cordwainer Smith.

Little light Friday entertainment.
