The “oh shit I just realized _____” thread
Frank said:are you guys trolling or is this real?Haha, I knew that Frederick Forsyth made up the country name and I am partially familiar with the history of Persia. I just was confused about the proper demonym since the woman who cuts my hair uses one and the person I was talking to on Saturday used the other.
I never knew about the 2004 attempt in Equatorial Guinea before even though I have always liked reading about small countries since I was a kid. Learn something new everyday.

The “oh shit I just realized _____” thread
...(formerly Zangaro, before the Christopher Walken coup)
Yesterday, in a conversation with someone about immigrant communities in Los Angeles, I asked what is the difference between "Iranian" and "Persian". They're interchangeable, apparently.

The “oh shit I just realized _____” thread
I have been listening to Gong lately. Today I learned a couple of things reading a Wiki footnote about their legacy:
"Gong's influence has been seen in artists such as...Insane Clown Posse, whose member Violent J listened to Gong's music for inspiration during the recording of ICP's 2009 album Bang! Pow! Boom!." (yes, the "Magnets. How the fuck do they work?" one)
"Actor Sherman Hemsley, best known for his role on The Jeffersons, was an avowed Gong fanatic, going so far as to have a Flying Teapot room in his house. The room, which had darkened windows, played Flying Teapot continuously via tape loops."
