12 Awesome, Little-Known Bits Of Trivia

The studio almost forced the writers to ditch Princess Fiona from the Shrek script – until they changed one adjective they described her with. Here’s the full story, plus 12 others:

12

The hardest plot point in Breaking Bad's final season was the machine gun. They put it in a teaser, and Vince Gilligan thought they'd figure out how to weave it in-but it was so hard, he literally pounded his head on the wall. CRACKED.COM — Source: CinemaBlend

11

TO get ready for Wolverine, Hugh Jackman followed a routine for 5 months. In that time, he'd follow a strict workout regimen and diet plan for 6 days a week - and he was already in great shape after Les Miserables. CRACKED.COM — Source: Healthline

10

About 80% of the original Ghostbusters' dialogue was pure improv. c The rest was just structure and exposition, said Dan Aykroyd. That might have been partly due to the tight deadline - they had only 13 months. CRACKED.COM — Source: ABC News Radio Online

9

Shrek almost didn't feature Princess Fiona changing shape or anything. The studio rejected the idea of a shape-shifting princess, but when the writers rephrased that to an enchanted princess, everything was 100% fine. CRACKED.COM — Source: Creative Screenwriting

8

The Beatles' last live concert, in 1966, had thousands of unsold seats. Only 5,000 out of 42,500 tickets were sold - -nobody knew it would be their last concert (besides their unannounced 1969 rooftop performance). CRACKED.COM — Source: BeatlesBible

7

The price of a ticket on the Titanic was absolutely, totally exorbitant. They cost about $100,00 in current dollars, so it's pretty clear why the boat was filled with the super-rich - nobody else could afford suites or cabins. CRACKED.COM — Source: Dummies.com

6

The conviction of the last man sentenced to death in the UK was quashed in 2012. It had already been commuted to life imprisonment - and, 39 years after he was granted that, Liam Holden successfully appealed. CRACKED.COM — Source: The Guardian

5

Enya lives in an Irish castle that she moved into back in the late '90s. It's pretty small by castle standards, as it just has six bedrooms. She redid all of them, though, and added surveillance cameras (among other things). CRACKED.COM — Source: Buzzfeed

4

The liver is the only organ in your body that can really regenerate itself. Most organs replace damaged tissue with scar tissue, but the liver can create healthy new tissue - even if 50-60% of it is destroyed, it grows back. CRACKED.COM — Source: UIHC

3

On Venus, a day literally lasts longer than a year (not by a whole lot, though). Venus goes around the Sun in 225 Earth days, but it spins around its axis in 243 Earth days - so, a Venus day is 243 times longer than an Earth day. CRACKED.COM — Source: NASA

2

The University of Colorado dining hall is named after a legendary cannibal. Students voted for it to be named after Alferd Packer in 1967, and it still has that name. The slogan? Have a friend for lunch! CRACKED.COM — Source: Arthouse Denver

1

Apple cider is called cider, but pear cider is actually just called perry. Well, it's the name of one type of pear cider - made from pears that grow on trees so tall you can't climb them, you have to wait for the pears to fall off. CRACKED.COM — Source: The Guardian
