Facts you learned on Wikipedia

[OverCoronavirus Pressure]

I was falling down the Wikipedia rabbit hole and read the entry for director Ed Wood.

The guy responsible for Plan 9 from Outer Space served in WW2, was at two of the most brutal battles of the Pacific: Guadalcanal, and Tarawa.

Share facts that surprised you.

But IIRC he didn't make films until after the war so afaik he served honorably.

I read the Clippy entry and it's pretty unflattering.

To put it mildly, a strange fellow.

[TSO]

I go on Wikipedia adventures all the time. Look up something on a bug I saw,find it has all kinds of disgusting relatives that burrow into eyes or what not. Don't stop itching for days.


Good times.
