Big Dave’s 5 Nuggets Of Knowledge For Your Noggin’ – (6/24/24)

Here are Big Dave’s 5 Nuggets of Knowledge for your Noggin’ – on this Monday, June 24th, 2024. Let’s learn something together:

1. Billy Idol was originally supposed to play the evil T-1000 in “Terminator 2: Judgment Day”, but he couldn’t do it after being in a serious motorcycle accident in February of 1990, which almost cost him a leg.  He was also supposed to have a larger role in the Oliver Stone move, “The Doors”, but it was cut back due to the accident.  The T-1000 ended up being played by Robert Patrick.
2. Axl Rose started working on “November Rain” in 1983.  But he wasn’t ready to release it until 1991.
3. 90 of the 388 games released for the Nintendo 64 have the number “64” somewhere in their title, like “Super Mario 64” and “Madden Football 64”.  That’s about one out of every four games.
4. The average candy bar contains eight insect parts.  So when someone has an allergic reaction to chocolate, they could be reacting to the COCKROACH parts inside.
5. The song “Don’t Turn Around” was originally written for Tina Turner, and was the B-side of her song “Typical Male” in 1986.  But it never went anywhere until Ace of Base covered it in 1994, and it became a top five hit.
