In the question thread, you ask questions you need answers to. In this thread, people can post interesting nuggets of information and we can all become masters of Trivial Pursuit. Heres mine:

In music, dynamics normally refers to the softness or loudness of a sound or note, but also to every aspect of the execution of a given piece, either stylistic (staccato, legato etc.) or functional (velocity). The term is also applied to the written or printed musical notation used to indicate dynamics.

And I know oojay is gone, but the Rio De Janeiro tournament never existed. It was an excuse to put the title on Patterson and what better way than to make up a tournament in a South American country. This happens a lot in the early days of the WWWF and the regional territories.

The term "blast beat" was invented by Mick Harris of Napalm Death in the late 1980's.

I'll take this a step further, while lacking a technical name the "blast beat" was first used in jazz music.

Adolf Hitler was a vegetarian, and had only ONE testicle.

Adolf Hitler didn't only have one testicle. He had two testicles but one was underdeveloped.

Right-Track is clearly not up to date with his 'genocidal genitalia' trivia.

Polar bears aren't mostly left handed.

The capital of Azerbaijan is Baku. The capital of Kazakhstan is Astana. The capital of Uzbekistan is Tashkent.

HA ^ I didn't even know he only had one developed testicle...I was blagging.
Right then Mr. Up to date Genocidal Genitalia trivia man...which one was underdeveloped? Left or right?

Edit:@DRMO...too late, I googled and according to sources it was his left testicle, however, it remains inconclusive as to whether he was minus a bollock (underdeveloped or otherwise) at all.
Russian sources released details of an autopsy in 1970, which appear dubious considering the body was supposedly incinerated.
Soviet chicanery at play perhaps?
Other sources also lack strong recorded evidence to suggest his gonads were in fact, less than complete.

Also, a French kiss in France is described as an English kiss.

The term 'Briton,' from which we get the name 'Great Britain,' originally referred exclusively to the Welsh people, so technically, the only true Britons in Great Britain are the Welsh.
