Just unpacked this Kickstarter bonanza. If you were a gamer in the 80s you may have, as I did, loved these paper-and-dice Fighting Fantasy gamebooks. A mix of solo #TTRPG rules-lite and choose your own adventure. Now 'remastered' and gorgeous. Hours of entertainment coming for me!

The top 5 highest-grossing actors* — by box office for movies they appeared in — are:
1) Stan Lee
2) Samuel L. Jackson
3) John Ratzenberger
4) Frank Welker
5) Bob Bergen
* all roles, including cameos.
If you only count LEAD roles, Samuel L. Jackson is still #2, with #1 being Scarlett Johansson.

We can reconstruct two Proto-Indo-European verbal roots meaning 'to fart' but still cannot reconstruct a common PIE word for 'finger'.

The "liver, fava beans and a nice chianti" line in Silence Of The Lambs is a little joke for psychiatrists in the audience - those foods cannot be consumed with the meds (monoamine oxidase inhibitors) that Lecter is supposed to be taking.
