That's what she muffled? :P
I suppose the jokes are exhausted, so someone should answer the question. Your hyoid is here.

The tv show Love, American Style had a wildly successful spin off. you might have heard of it, Happy Days. It then went on to have a spin off of it's own, Lavern & Shirley. Not content with a successful spin off of a successful spin off, Blansky's Beauties was spun off of Happy Days in 1977. It did not do so well. So they tried again and came up with Mork & Mindy which did fairly well.
So they decide to do a cross over with a new show called Out of the Blue. As well as trying another spin off this time Joanie loves Chachi Once again not so well.
So it was time to hit the animated world with new spin offs The Fonz and the Happy Days Gang followed shortly thereafter with Laverne & Shirley in the Army.
Not content with just two horrible cartoon versions of once popular shows they then went on to create the short (thankfully) lived Mork & Mindy/Laverne & Shirley/Fonz Hour

Ally McBeal (1997–2002)
followed by
Ally (1999) same show but re-edited into 1/2 hour sitcom version.
crossed over to
The Practice (1997–2004) on another network but with the same characters used on both shows.
Which caused the producers to do the same, making use of the same characters and actors in Boston Public (2000–2004) as well as Boston Legal (2004–2008)
So for all intents and purposes the show about the way too skiny lawyer with the long legs was on at multiple times on multiple networks from 1997 until 2008.
PS, new medical drama is coming out next year, Monday Mornings I would not be surprised if he doesn't have a cameo from Doogie Howser.
Also I would watch that episode, just 'cause.
Today, it's exactly 67 years since both Steve Martin and Wim Wenders were born.
And a little later (29 years ago), so was Mila Kunis.
On August 14, 1842, the Second Seminole War was declared to be over. From what I've read, neither side is likely to consider it celebration-worthy.
The last Swedish executioner died in 1920. (Through natural causes.)
Andreas Isaksson and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who both regularly represents Sweden in football matches, were born on the same day (3 October, 1981).
D&D approved.Heh heh heh.
Apparently, everybody but me already knew that DIRE WOLVES HAD FRICKIN' BONES IN THEIR DICKS!

Chuck Cunningham the older brother of Ritchie and Joanie on Happy Days walked up the stairs at the end of season 2 with his basketball in his hands... never to be seen again.

Instead of bone, goblins' penises are lent rigidity by bits of asphalt. The catch-phrase "goblins do it in the street!" is actually backwards -- the correct phrase would be "the street's in the goblins when they do it."

Nitpicking is the pastime of pointing out minor flaws or mistakes. The term is always used in a negative light. The term comes from the intense concentration and careful attention to detail required when nitpicking (searching for the eggs of lice, known as nits).

The anarchist assassin thing was a no-brainer for me one day when there was a thread about all of the Evil Presidents, but for Whedon nerds: Mrs. Czolgosz (pronounded, roughly Chuul-gosh) was one of the spurned women visited by Anyanka. (She cursed Leon to have an unnatural obsession with McKinley.)
I assume that Whedon got him from Stephen Sondheim's semi-hit 1990 musical, Assassins.
-Stylish XIX century moustaches and beards came to an end due to WWI, as soldiers were forced to shave their faces in order to use gas masks. Once they came home, shaving became the dominant custom.
-Turks were originally a central-asian steppes nomadic tribe. They only came to dominate Asia Minor well into the Middle Ages (pushed in turn by the Mongols).
-The main reason behind the Goths pushing into Roman territory (which eventually toppled the Western Empire as other issues weakened the Romans) was central-asian stepppes nomadic tribes pushing into their own territory. Such was the push that some Goths ended up settling in northern Africa.
-The terms "Left" and "Right" to define political stances come from the time of the French Revolution, when those who supported the institutions from the Ancient Regime sat on the right side of the parliament.

Though our boners lack bones, it's possible for them to be broken when erect. This usually happens during intercourse, as you might have suspected. Reverse cowgirl is somewhat notable for causing 'em. Surgical correction is the general solution and should be done ASAP. Untreated broken penises can result in permanent curves in the penis, erectile dysfunction, damage to the urethra, and if you can believe it, even pain during intercourse.
Among the Kurds, there's the practice of bending the top part of an erect penis whilst holding the base stationary until a crack is felt. This is supposed to get you soft really fast, but puts you at significant risk for penile fracture. If it's all the same to the Kurds, I think I'll just wait.

Czolgosz was born in the town where I live. To my knowledge, there's not even a plaque.

There are only 2 words in standard English which end in "gry": Angry and Hungry.
There is a famous riddle as follows:
There are three English words ending in "-gry". Two are "angry" and "hungry". What is the third one?
It has no answer, short of some archaic alternative spellings and words no longer in general usage. By all accounts, it is a riddle meant to be frustrating because it has no answer.

It's:
Angry and hungry are words that end in -gry. There are three words in the English language. What is the third word?
Where it's meant to be parsed as "There are three words in 'the English language'" with the answer as "language."
There are only 4 words in the English language which end in 'dous' (they are: hazardous, horrendous, stupendous and tremendous).
Infoplease to the rescue:
The Question:
There are four words that end in "dous" in the English language and I can only come up with three — stupendous, tremendous and horrendous. Can you help me find the fourth?The Answer:

In common English, there are actually only two words that end in "gry": hungry and angry. This has not always been the case; there are a number of archaic and obsolete English "-gry" words, including aggry, variegated glass beads of ancient manufacture; puggry, (a light scarf wound around a hat or helmet to protect the head from the sun; and, of course, gry, a unit of measure equal to one tenth of a line. As one is unlikely, however, to see these terms anywhere but in an unabridged dictionary, they aren't too helpful.
The source of the common conviction that there is> a third common "-gry" word in English comes from the following brainteaser:
Think of words ending in -gry. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everybody uses everyday. If you have listened carefully, I've already told you what it is.
So asked, the question becomes a trick: “There are only three words in ‘the English Language,’” it asks. “What is the third word?”
The third word in “the English Language” is, of course “Language”. Ugh.
Needless to say, when the brainteaser isn't repeated verbatim (as it hardly ever is), the meaning changes entirely—hence the widespread belief that angry and hungry have a mysterious third partner.

The term "kung fu" isn't Chinese at all. It's derived from the check for a sidearm and relief upon finding it felt by people confronted by martial artists: "Gun? Phew!"
It's a little known fact that cows were domesticated in Mesopotamia and were also used in China as guard animals for the Forbidden City.
- It's a little known fact that smartest animal is a pig. Scientists say if pigs had thumbs and a language, they could be trained to do simple manual labor. They give you 20-30 years of loyal service and then at their retirement dinner you can eat them.
- I wonder if you know that the harp is a predecessor of the modern day guitar. Early minstrels were much larger people. In fact, they had hands the size of small dogs.
- Everyone is the Swiss Army owns a Swiss Army Knife. That's why no one messes with Switzerland.
- If you were to go back in history and take every president, you'll find that the numerical value of each letter in their name was equally divisible into the year in which they were elected. By my calculations, our next president has to be named Yellnick McWawa.
- If memory serves, the umbilical chord is 90% postassium.
- They did a study between postal workers and chimpanzees. They proved chimps were 32% slower. Of course, they were better with public relations.
- There's no rule against postal workers not dating women. It just works out that way.
- It's a little known fact that the tan became popular in what is known as the Bronze Age.
