I learned just this morning that it's Dr. Strangelove, after many years of calling it Dr. Strangeglove.

I've had that happen with some songs over the years. Unfortunately, I can't think of any of them at the moment. You know, the ones where you find out the actual lyrics years or even decades later, usually ruining your whole notion of the song.

You know, the ones where you find out the actual lyrics years or even decades later, usually ruining your whole notion of the song. I only learned last summer that the chorus to ABBA's "Dancing Queen" is, in fact, not "You can dance, you can die/Having the time of your life." Since I don't particularly like ABBA, I never cared enough to look up the lyrics, and based on my mishearing of the chorus, plus another lyric I picked up that mentions "only seventeen," I always assumed the song was about a 17-year-old girl who goes to a disco loaded up on uppers and dances herself to death. |

All modern steel produced after the atomic tests of the 1940s and 50s is contaminated with radionuclides.

I just realized Barenaked Ladies and The Tragically Hip are two different bands.

I happened across this listing in an old 1994 Mokelumne Hill Press catalog of facsimiles I was browsing through earlier:  |

There used to be a steakhouse/bar out here that I would sometimes to go to because it had good liquor and a smoking patio. It also had a set of 30mm AP casings behind the bar. When I asked the waitress about them she said when an A-10 squadron would come back, the pilots would all drink a toast from them. Depleted Uranium: gotta add one heck of a kick to your cocktail. |

You know, the ones where you find out the actual lyrics years or even decades later, usually ruining your whole notion of the song. Okay, here's one: That R&B song "Wishing Well". I never checked the lyrics, so when it would come on, I would just mumble, "Love me like the wishing well, kiss and tell, make it all like a lover boy, baby." Now, I knew that couldn't possibly be the actual lyrics, which I am now about to go discover. Okay, it turns out they are in fact: Wish me love a wishing well to kiss and tell
A wishing well of butterfly tear
Wish me love a wishing well to kiss and tell
A wishing well of crocodile cheersJesus Christ, I need my ears checked. |

Today I learned the US post service is creating a Forever stamp featuring Mr. Rogers and that made me very happy.

I polish my knob all the time, old chap. Curiously, this doesn't seem to be quite enough --no matter how bright and shiny I get it. |

Yep, five year cycle for the elements (Earth, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire) is superimposed on the 12-year cycle for the animals. |
