Bruce Willis attempted to convince Quentin Tarantino to cast him as Vincent or Jules in Pulp Fiction before ultimately taking the role of Butch.
Tarantino originally wrote the role of Butch for Matt Dillon. Instead of Butch, Dillon wanted to play Vincent. This posed a challenge for Tarantino, as Pulp Fiction’s green light hinged on the casting of one of Miramax’s approved actors that would draw audiences to the film. Dillon ultimately declined the role, and Tarantino was without a Butch. After a surprise meeting with Willis at actor Harvey Keitel's home, Willis was eventually cast in the role. Check out the whole saga as told by Tarantino himself:

From now on let’s use frogs as an accounting Bitcoin unit like: a good practice is to stack 1 frog of sats in a LN wallet, then send the frog of sats to a cold storage.
The numbers 10, 100, 1000, 10,000 and 100,000 had their own hieroglyphs. Number 10 is a hobble for cattle, number 100 is represented by a coiled rope, the number 1000 is represented by a lotus flower, the number 10,000 is represented by a finger, the number 100,000 is represented by a frog, and a million was represented by a god with his hands raised in adoration.

Pandas poop most of what they eat
Pandas basically only eat bamboo, which also happens to be incredibly hard to digest. That means that these adorable animals must eat about 30 pounds of the stuff each day to get enough nutrients—defecating about four-fifths of what they eat.
Not only that, but what they do digest is not especially easy on their gastrointestinal system. These guys should really consider a change in diet.
Combined with the fact they seem completely unbothered about mating 🤯 do these guys even deserve saving? 🤔🤷🏼‍♀️

I agree, they are super cute and the babies are even more cute! Perhaps us humans will require such high maintenance fertility help in the future, but at least we eat a more varied diet and enjoy mating 🤣🤣🤣

In Hong Kong, delivery times are primarily influenced by traffic conditions on elevators. It often takes drivers longer to travel vertically than horizontally, as access to elevators is so congested during 'high peak' hours. This is due to the volume of people residing in high rises.

nintendo was founded in 1889 as a playing card company, coca cola was founded in 1892, and the book dracula was published in 1897.
so technically you could have a dracula adaptation where dracula drinks coke and plays nintendo, and it would be historically accurate.

Armadillos are often used in the study of leprosy, since they, along with mangabey monkeys, rabbits and mice (on their footpads), are among the few known species that can contract the disease systemically. They are particularly susceptible due to their unusually low body temperature, which is hospitable to the leprosy bacterium.
