Random factoids or things that are stuck in your brain forever

any other ppl that lived in ICT in the 90s remember that car (and also furniture i think??) salesman who would do that weird thing where he would kinda put his elbow on his hip and then spin his arm around? i think his catch phrase was like "if you don't come and see me...i can't save you any money"

I can't quite place it... Jabara's Carpet Outlet? Cherry Orchard Furniture?

Edit: "if you don't come and see me..." is a trademark of Rusty Eck Ford.

In America they are Bison so the home on the range song is a giant lie

[michigancat]

60 mph = 88 fps
c = 186,000 mps

60mph = a mile a minute

I know it's obvious but I remember someone saying it that way as a kid and it blowing my mind

I use the Present Value (PV = FV * 1/(1+r)^number of periods), and Future Value (FV = PV*(1+r)^number of periods formulas all the time, I cannot forget them.  They are very handy when trying to explain to you kids how much my first car's sound system was in TODAY'S DOLLARS, and stuff like that.  Or, how much this old house will be worth when your mother and I die (even though I will sell this thing basically as soon as you go off to college and we will move back to Lawrence.
