I hee hee!ed with glee, years ago, when I read a local alt weekly describe AC/DC as the "masters of the single entendre" and I can't remember who or where it was--someone I knew? something I read?--that pointed out that there has never been a single drum fill on any AC/DC record ever.
AC/DC (followed closely by Yellow Dingo) is the best thing to have come from Australia, imho.

That used to be the ONLY size you could get. I know. I was there. That's the way most sodas were bottled in my long ago and hallowed youth.
Probably either music or language arts.

And there's been like, what?, a half-dozen AC/DC drummers over the last 40 years? You'd think one of them would be like "f!~@ it, I don't care what you say, Angus, I'm soloing on 'Whole Lotta Sink the Stiff Upper Pink Done Dirt Cheap'" but apparently, not.

And one of their drummers was Simon Wright, who went on to play with Dio, and sites Cozy Powell and John Bonham as two of his influences. I guess he just needed time off from being a good drummer.

Being certified in H.U.E.T. or Helicopter Underwater Escape Training is a requirement for working at offshore oil and gas facilities.But why would you need to escape a Helicopter underwater? They can't chase you down there.
Oh, my sweet summer child... Zombie Special Forces train for all contingencies in preparation for the upcoming zombiepocalypse, er, Heatbeat-Challenged Pride Parade. Yeah, that's the ticket. So hurry out to your downtown main street and reserve a space to watch!
Soon.

Nicholas Cage is (along with his cousin Sofia Coppola) the third generation of Oscar winners in the Coppola family. His uncle, Francis Ford Coppola and his grandfather, Carmine Coppola, are the other two generations. They are the second family to do so, the first family is the Hustons - Anjelica Huston, John Huston and Walter Huston.
2+2 does not equal 4 when using the interval scale.

Only the males, the females do not have poison sacs or spurs.
.......

This applies only if you don't count spouses as "family." If you do, John Farrow (won 1956) - Andre Previn (1958) - Woody Allen (1977) would qualify as 1st, I think.

The word "githyanki" first appeared in a George RR Martin novel where a young Charles Stross read it and used it as the name of a D&D monster he was writing up and which eventually got published in the original Fiend Folio.
