Shippinator Mandy · **Posted:** Fri Feb 17, 2006 4:12 am

*Timmy, from Fairly OddParents, was originally going to wear blue instead of pink, but Butch Hartman's blue marker ran dry while he was coloring him. In addition, Timmy was originally a redhead, but since Vicky was also a redhead, Hartman reluctantly made his hair brown (even though he hates the color brown), because he didn't want Timmy to have the same hair color as his worst enemy.

*Wanda originally looked more like the stereotypical fairy godmother--she was frumpy, fat, and matronly. Also, she was originally called Venus.

*The song at the end of the Futurama episode "Leela's Homeworld" is "Baby Love Child" by Pizzicato Five.

*Weird Al Yankovic is a vegetarian.

*The object in the briefcase from Pulp Fiction was originally going to be diamonds, but it was decided that that was too obvious. Someone decided to put an orange lightbulb in the briefcase, which the director regretted, because it limited the possibilities for what the item in the briefcase could be.

*Raven from Teen Titans and Bubbles from The Powerpuff Girls are both voiced by the same person, the talented Tara Strong.

Woah, this thread is still alive? I must be magical or something. Anyways, here's another one for the few of you who still bother to post here:

A circus performer soaked his red stockings in a bucket of water. Another performer used the water to make lemonade. The resulting invention? Pink lemonade! So the next time you drink pink lemonade, just remember that it was probably made with some sweaty clown's underwear. ^^

I actually looked it up, and the meerkat is a type of mongoose.

Wikipedia wrote:

Like all mongoose species, the meerkat has developed an immunity to many venoms; this allows them to eat scorpions (including the sting) and some snakes without fear of illness, poison or death.

So there you go. :mrgreen:

I've heard it from a few sources. Two books, and an Internet site. One of the books was a Ripley's Believe it or Not! book and the other was... I dunno, some kind of almanac. The Internet site is self-explanatory. Why do you doubt this, anyway?

I dunno, it just sounds kinda strange. Weirder things have happened, though.

Ooh, ooh, I know a few good lemur ones!

- The Indri and the Aye-aye got their names in a weird way. The one who discovered them misunderstood the guide. 'Aye-Aye' means "Uh...whatisthat??" and 'Indri' means "There he is".

- The first white people who saw/heard lemurs (at night) thought that they were Roman ghosts, the Lemurs.

- Lemurs get stoned when they sunbath. :mrgreen:
