As anybody who has bothered knows, the CIA was organized AFTER WWII. However, apparently either no one has bothered to tell the English or someone didn't do their homework.....
There's a sort of radio play on CD I bought, made in the UK (by Big Finish, for those who know) set in 1938, and it's a nice story but completely RUINED by the fact they keep talking about involving the CIA, which didn't even exist! I doubt civilians would have contacted OSS either, so they likely would have been calling in the FBI, which was much more in the public imagination at the time anyway!

It's not as if such things aren't hard to research. The script writer just did NOT bother. And it's far far more of a put-off in an audio-only format than in something audio/visual, in my opinion, because small visual goofs in serious work are often inevitable (masking tape hiding over power outlets in "victorian london" or pac*bell pay phones in Virginia)....

The programming language C was derived from, and based on, a programming language called...
wait for it...
B (authored mainly by Ken Thompson at Bell Labs).
Languages derived from C include Objective C (used by Apple in Mac OS X), C++, and Java.
Prior to standardization by the American National Standards Institute, the most popular "version" of C was "K & R C" where K&R stood for Kernighan and Ritchie, two of the developers of the language at Bell Labs.

In 1951, Topps Chewing Gum, Inc. released its first sets of baseball cards (Topps was LONG considered the king of baseball cards, and in the early 80s did other sets of cards as well (including Return of the Jedi, E.T., Garbage Pail Kids), before the sports card explosion of the mid-late 80s).
There were 104 cards, 52 with red backs, and 52 with blue backs, and were part of a playable game as well as collector's objects.
Rather than gum, they were packed with a caramel candy.
(Info from Topps Baseball Cards, a 35 year history, published in 1985).

In German Episode one, the announcer at the beginning was the then chief female announcer/presenter of the WDR (Westdeutscher Rundfunk) TV network (her name is Claudia Doren).
There are several references to Albrecht Dürer (A personal favorite artist of mine). In every case, the year of his death is wrong. The program gives it as 1530. He actually died in 1528.
Thomas Woitkewitch (who produced episode #2) translated the Lumberjack Song into German (the song is sung by Michael Palin, in German, in episode one. To this day he says he could still recite it. It was released on a CD single in Europe in the early 90s, and appears in the Monty Python Song Book). It is the ONLY appearance of any previously written material in either of the two German episodes.

A fire fighter is working on the engine outside the station when
he notices a little girl next door in a little red wagon with little
ladders hung off the side and a garden hose tightly coiled in
the middle. The girl is wearing a fire fighters helmet and has
the wagon tied to a dog and a cat. The fire fighter walks over
to take a closer look.
"That sure is a nice fire truck", the fire fighter says with admiration.
"Thanks", the little girl says.
The fire fighter looks a little closer and notices the girl has
tied the wagon to the dog's collar and to the cat's testicles.
"Little partner," the fire fighter says, "I don't want to tell you
how to run your fire truck, but if you were to tie that rope
around the cat's collar, I think he could pull more."
The little girl replied: "You're probably right, sir, but then I

He began stomping on them in his temper. His father caught him trampling the honeybees, and after a brief moment of thought said, "That's it! No honey for you for one month!"
Later that afternoon, Johnny pondered upon some butterflies, and

{Whilst this is credited to Neil Armstrong, it is not actually true (http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/blgorsky.htm), it is, however, pretty funny.}
When Apollo Mission Astronaut Neil Armstrong first walked on the moon, he not only gave his famous "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" statement but followed it by several remarks, usual com traffic between him, the other astronauts and Mission Control.
Just before he re-entered the lander, however, he made the enigmatic remark "Good luck Mr. Gorsky." Many people at NASA thought it was a casual remark concerning some rival Soviet Cosmonaut. However, upon checking, there was no Gorsky in either the Russian or American space programs. Over the years many people questioned Armstrong as to what the "Good luck Mr. Gorsky" statement meant, but Armstrong always just smiled.
Just last year, (on July 5, 1995 in Tampa Bay FL) while answering
questions following a speech, a reporter brought up the 26 year old question to Armstrong. This time he finally responded. Mr. Gorsky had finally died and so Neil Armstrong felt he could answer the question.
When he was a kid, he was playing baseball with a friend in the
backyard. His friend hit a fly ball which landed in the front of his
neighbor's bedroom windows. His neighbors were Mr. & Mrs. Gorsky. As he leaned down to pick up the ball, young Armstrong heard Mrs. Gorsky shouting at Mr. Gorsky. "Oral sex? You want oral sex?! You'll get oral sex when the kid next door walks on the moon!"

Three mice are sitting at a bar in a pretty rough neighborhood late at night trying to impress each other about how tough they are.
The first mouse pounds a shot of scotch, slams the glass onto the bar, turns to the second mouse and says, "When I see a mousetrap, I lie on my back and set it off with my foot. When the bar comes down, I catch it in my teeth, bench press it twenty times to work up an appetite, and then make off with the cheese.
The second mouse orders up two shots of sour mash, pounds them both, slams each glass into the bar, turns to the first mouse, and replies: "Yeah, well when I see rat poison, I collect as much as I can, take it home, grind it up to a powder, and add it to my coffee each morning so I can get a good buzz going for the rest of the day.

A girl asks her boyfriend to come over Friday night and have dinner with her parents. Since this is such a big event, the girl announces to her boyfriend that after dinner, she would like to go out and make love for the first time.
Well, the boy is ecstatic, but he has never had sex before, so he takes a trip to the pharmacist to get some condoms. The pharmacist helps the boy for about an hour. He tells the boy everything there is to know about condoms and sex.
At the register, the pharmacist asks the boy how many condoms he'd like to buy, a 3-pack, 10-pack or family pack. The boy insists on the family pack because he thinks he will be rather busy, it being his first time and all.
That night, the boy shows up at the girl's parents' house and meets his girlfriend at the door. "Oh I'm so excited for you to meet my parents, come on in!" The boy goes inside and is taken to the dinner table where the girl's parents are seated.
The boy quickly offers to say grace and bows his head. A minute passes, and the boy is still deep in prayer, with his head down. Ten minutes pass, and still no movement from the boy. Finally, after twenty minutes with his head down, the girlfriend finally leans over and whispers to the boyfriend, "I had no idea you were this religious."

The mafia was looking for a new man to make weekly collections from all the private businesses that they were 'protecting'. Feeling the heat from the police force, they decide to use a deaf and dumb person for this job; if he were to get caught, he wouldn't be able to communicate to the police what he was doing.
Well, on his first week, the deaf collector picks up over $50,000. He gets greedy, decides to keep the money and stashes it in a safe place. The mafia soon realizes that their collection is late, and sends some of their hoods after the deaf collector.
The hoods find the deaf collector and ask him where the money is. The deaf collector can't communicate with them, so the mafia drags the guy to an interpreter.
The mafia hood says to the interpreter, "Ask him where da money is." The interpreter signs, "Where's da money?"
The deaf signs, "I don't know what you're talking about."
The interpreter tells the hood,"He says he doesn't know what you're talking about"
The hood pulls out a .38 and places it in the ear of the deaf collector. "NOW ask him where the money is."
The interpreter signs, "Where is the money?"
The deaf signs, "The $50,000 is in the tree stump in the north east part of Central Park near the pond."
The interpreter looks to the hood and says, "He says he still doesn't know what you're talking about, and doesn't think you have the balls to pull the trigger."

Three engineering students were gathered together discussing the possible designers of the human body.
One said, "It was a mechanical engineer. Just look at all the joints."
Another said, "No, it was an electrical engineer. The nervous system has many thousands of electrical connections."
The last said, "Actually it was a civil engineer. Who else would run a toxic waste pipeline through a recreational area?"

{one of my all time favorites...}
There were three Eskimos in a local Alaskan bar, talking about how cold it was outside, and how cold their igloos were. They could agree on everything but whose igloo was the coldest, so they decided to determine who, indeed, had the coldest igloo.
At the first Eskimo's igloo, he said, "Watch this!" He poured a cup of water into the air. The water froze in midair and fell onto the floor. "Not bad," agreed the other Eskimos, but each maintained their igloo was colder still.
At the second Eskimo's igloo, he said, "Watch this!" He took a big breath and exhaled, whereupon his breath froze into a big lump and fell to the floor. "Wow, that's colder than mine!" said the first Eskimo. But the third Eskimo exclaimed his was colder still.
At the third Eskimo's igloo, he said, "Watch this!" He went into the bedroom, threw back the thick furs, and retrieved one of several small balls of ice there. Putting it in a spoon, and held a match under it. When it was sufficiently heated, it went "FFFAAAARRRRTTT".
He won.

Feeling Stressed Out?
Picture yourself near a stream.
Birds are softly chirpingin the crisp cool mountain air.
Nothing can bother you here.
No one knows this secret place.
You are in total seclusion from that place called "the world."
The soothing sound of a gentle waterfall fills the air with a cascade of serenity.
The water is clear.
You can easily make out the face of the person whose head you're holding under the water.
Look. It's the person who caused you all this stress in the first place.
What a pleasant surprise.
You let them up...
just for a quick breath...
then ploop!..
back under they go...
You allow yourself as many deep breaths as you want.
There now...
feeling better?

{a classic} 1470
When the Lord made Man, all the parts of the body argued over who would be the Boss.
The Brain explained that since he controlled all the parts of the body, he should be Boss.
The Legs argued that since they took the Man wherever he wanted to go, he should be the Boss.
The Stomach countered with the explanation that since he digested all the food, he should be the boss.
The Eyes said that without them, Man would be helpless, so they should be Boss.
Then the Ass Hole applied for the Job. The other parts of the body laughed so hard that the ass hole became mad and closed up.
After a few days the Brain went foggy, the Legs got wobbly, the Stomach got ill, the Eyes got crossed and were unable to see.
They all finally conceded and made the Ass Hole Boss.
This proves you don't have to be a Brain to be the Boss...Just an Ass Hole.

Here's one I heard during a trip to Arkansas once. I'd have to confirm it, but it sounds reasonable.
If you look at the left (western) edge of the state, you'll notice there's a diagonal part, and then a jog where it goes more or less vertical.
While mapping out the state, the surveyors were OFF on the western boundary (I can't say I remember why, now), but rather than go back and correct it, they just paid off a few of the Native American tribes for the encroachment into "Indian Territory." Otherwise the western edge should have been one straight, continuous latitude line.

The Lincoln penny was the first time a president appeared on any coin, and was to have been for one year only, marking the 100th anniversary of the president's birth. It's now the oldest such coin still in circulation, and will be 100 years old itself in 2009.

While many Americans are aware that the Susan B Anthony was the first time a historical American woman appeared on a US coin (previous appearances of women on US coinage were just as "mythological" figures), there were actually FOUR years the coin was minted.
1979, 1980, 1981 and 1999.
A new batch had to be rushed through the mint in 1999, because, while the dollar coin has NOT been very popular in recent years, it IS used in certain vending machines, and the supply of older SBA dollar coins was running out. The law for the new Sacajawea dollars could NOT take effect until 2000 (and I'm not sure the dies for making the new coins were ready anyhow).
Also, if you go to www.usmint.gov and read about the 50 state quarter program, you'll find out the initial proposal was for 50 state DOLLAR COINS, with the different reverses on the SBA dollar, not the Washington Quarter Dollar! This was amended in later versions of the legislation.

...2003 is the mid-year of the program, started in 1999. By the end of 2003, with the Arkansas state quarter, 25 of the 50 states will have had their own quarters minted.
Note of course that for the southern states, only the dates of original admission to the union are being used, not dates of post-civil war readmission.
The last year of the program is 2008, provided that no NEW states are added to the union in those remaining 5 years (which is highly unlikely).

#1494 - A song to keep you all happy
Immanuel Kant was a real piss-ant who was very rarely stable.
Heideggar, Heideggar was a boozy beggar who could
think you under the table.
David Hume could out-consume Schopenhauer and Hegel.
And Whittgenstein was a beery swine who was just as sloshed as Schlegel.
There's nothing Nieizsche couldn't teach 'ya 'bout the raising of the wrist.
Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed.
John Stewart Mill, of his own free will, after half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.
Plato, they say, could stick it away, 'alf a crate of whiskey every day!
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle,
And Hobbes was fond of his Dram.
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart:
"I drink, therefore I am."
Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed;
A lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he's pissed.

#1495 - The classic
Sit on my face, and tell me that you love me.
I'll sit on your face and tell you I love you, too.
I love to hear you moralize,
When I'm between your thighs;
You blow me away!
Sit on my face and let my lips embrace you.
I'll sit on your face and let my love be truly.
Life can be fine if we both sixty-nine,
And we'll sit on our faces in all sorts of places and play,
'Till we're blown away!

Isn't it awfully nice to have a penis.
Isn't it simply grand to have a dong.
It's swell to have a stiffy, it's divine to own a dick,
From the tiniest little tadger to the world's biggest prick...
So three cheers for your Willy or John Thomas,
Hooray for your one-eyed trouser snake.
Your piece of pork, your wife's best friend,
Your Percy or your cock,
You can wrap it up in ribbons, you can slip it in your sock,
But don't take it out in public or they'll stick you in the dock,
And you won't a-come a-back.
