Batman: the Daaahk knight

This movie was about the following things:

Heath Ledger

Anyways, what the fuck is with Christian Bale being the main character in movies which also were in the early '90s i.e. Batman and Terminator.

I saw this with every fucking dweeb possible tonight up at Cinemaworld.   

I saw Green Lantern tattoos and people campaigning for Harvey Dent to be District Attorney.  

I think i am again totally disappointed by this batman movie. I don't think i have any idea why anymore.

I guess i'd see it again.

It's mad fucking long.

Heard this conversation today:

Dude 1: "So where have you been man?"

Dude 2: "Iraq, i'm just home for a bit, but i'm going back"

Dude 1: "Whoa"

Dude 2: "What have you been up to?"

Dude 1: "Playing Call Of Duty"



Dr. Pepper: A wikipedia research essay by Diego Perez

Dr. Pepper was first made in 1885.  It is currently owed by the "Dr. Pepper Snapple group".
The soda is distributed by either Coca-Cola (30% of the time) or Pepsi (30% of the time) and by the Snapple/dr pepper company the other 60 %.  In Texas you can buy Dr. Pepper made with Imperial Sugar not High Fructose Corn Syrup.  I once bought this particular Dr. Pepper in texas and the woman behind the counter said to me, "Well i'll be god dammed if this isn't the best soda water in Texas".

Goodnight everyone,

Diego

Lamborghini Diablo

This is a Lamborghini LM-002 colloquially known as the "Rambo Lambo".  This is probably the most hilarious thing i have ever seen.  This was made from 1986-1992 and only 312 of these were made in that 6 years.
These were heavily marketed at rich Saudi Arabians... Does anyone else think this is totally insane?

A huge blow happened to me when i heard that Lamborghini is not only owned by Audi AG but they also do not make the Diablo anymore... This has apparently been true since 2001.  Since then they have been making the elusive "MurciĆ©lago".  

I also found out that Gus Van Sant made "finding forrester".

The Color Blue lies within 440-490 in the "wavelength"

I don't know what "Wavelength".

Now onto Bentley and Rolls Royce being the same company:


Rolls Royce became defunct in 1986.  A company took over and in 1998 sold the company to Volkswagen for some crazy amount in the hundred millions.  Volkswagen already owned Bentley at this point.  For a while BMW was coveting this company and eventually took it from under Volkswagen's nose due to a complication in the following areas:

BMW had the rights to the Name

VW had the rights to the hood ornament and the grille.

Go figure... 

Anyways BMW got what they wanted in 2003.

VW got to keep Bentley and everyone was happy.


BUDWEISER

There is this long on going stupid rant about how Budweiser is a rip off of some beer in europe called "Budweiser Budvar".  I have to hear about this nonsense constantly from some Europhile i know.

Here is the scoop on that situation:

Budweiser was marketed by an Italian Immigrant in the late 1800s.  We'll say specifically 1876.  Now in Europe there was already a German company called "Budweiser Bier Burgerbrau" This company was established in 1795 almost 100 years before Budweiser (Anheuser-Busch).  This is where things complicated and i totally lose touch with reality. In 1895 19 years after Budweiser is a brand in the United States a Czech company called "Budejovicky Budvar" pops up.  For those of you who aren't familiar with how "Budejovicky" is Budweiser it's very complicated but just know that it is "Budweiser".  Somehow this "Budejovicky" company wins a lawsuit and the "burgerbrau" mother fuckers don't say peep.

On a totally fucking crazy note Budweiser (Anheuser-Busch) was just bought by inBev, but furthermore they account for over 50 percent of the beers sold in the united states.

Thats all i've Wikipedia-ed today.

Goodnight Folks,

Diego
