9. If you ever watched "Fraggle Rock".

WoaH! I have the 1st three shows on DVD =)

26. You have ever pondered why Smurfette was the only female smurf.

Gragamel(sp) created her to help him capture the smurfs. At that point she had black hair. But Papa-Smurf cast a spell to remove what Gragamel(sp) had done and that turn her hair blond.

Oh was that a rhetorical question?

I've seen some pretty funny animated gifs of what happened since she WAS the only female )

As for the rest of the list: Damn Gnin, I've spent most of my life trying to forget most of that stuff! My psychotherapist is going to make a mint off me now...thanks for the reminder ;P
